Come back to the South Dickey! I would love to see you in concert this year.
ESPN Sportscenter... " in 1970 The Allman Brothers released Hot 'Lanta... Braves are hotter than a Dickey Betts Guitar Solo "
( well, mebbe not That Hot )
Didn't Dickey's wife have a staph infection a few months back as well?
Better get whatever Dr's office or Dentist they use checked for cleanliness!
While singer, songwriter and guitar hero Dickey Betts battled a dangerous infection at home, by doctor's orders, in Sarasota, his guitar slinging and songwriting son Duane Betts did a highly commendable job Friday leading the family band Great Southern through a superb closing performance at the Tampa Bay Blues Festival.

Having a cocktail at Clearwater Beach @ Jimmy's Ignuana admiring the beautiful beach and boats...stopped at front desk of hotel here to post...back to the cocktail! Kimberly
Really happy, getting a mint Highway Call vinyl with poster, and it is a Promo Copy "Not For Sale" which is a cool fringe benefit. Can't wait to spin that one!
Having an excellent time in Florida! Lucky Peterson was phenomenal and even cruised with a wireless guitar out into the fans! Buddy Guy does that too...
Dickey we send you healing vibes and wish you a speedy recovery...we love you! Great Southern was on fire and that sweet Duane Betts lead the way just like his Daddy! Thank you to the band and crew for making my day extra special, you are a class act!
Excellent seeing Capn at the show, felt like home!
Today is day two of the festival with Johhny Lang and looking forward to seeing Pedro play with Devon Allman on Sunday!
Good times, great food, and sun and fun!! Later Gators, Kimberly
Ow! Oww! Owww!
you rock LUKE, gave me another smile/chuckle/warm&fuzzie...
It is with great regret that we have to announce that the shows scheduled for this weekend will need to be postponed. Due to doctor's orders, Dickey is spending the weekend at home. All other shows are scheduled to go on as planned at this point. From Dickey himself, "The last thing I want to do is disappoint my fans, but right now I need to take care of my health first. I will be back on the road in no time!"
The announcer introduced the Band as "DUANE Betts and Great Southern" it had a nice ring ot it
Thats the way to keep the spirit flowing! Great Southern has always been strong and it sounds like last night proved it again!What great news! I know the big eagle is feeling better today and thats a great thing! we will keep on working,keep on moving,keep on saving and get back where it all began one day soon!Alright!
Good morning...I`m worried to hear that about DB.That man is tough as a nail and when he gets in medical care,it wont be without a reason..so good to know the band keeps the music going.
Many suffering here from the weather,too.Had no spring and we all are waiting for the summer.
Nice to hear smiles are returning...
Thoughts to all my friends here,have a great weekend !
Good Morning
Thanks to Capn for the call.. I never checked my messages until late.. I thought the show would be cancelled.. but with the band already there , that was a great call that the show must go on 🙂
To hear that DB has been hospitalized is concerning to say the least. He will be 70 in Dec..and for the most part has retired , except for a few dates here and there. I am happy that who ever traveled great distances and bought tickets.. did get to see and hear Great Southern.. they are all great musicians.
If anyone can update the GB on DB health please let us know how he is doing.. Prayers out to him for a speedy recovery.
:dog: :angel: :inlove: :angel:
IMHO, add ~ Pedro's "Rollin On" and "Free on the Highway", Mike's "Getaway" (It Happens Sometimes), Frankie's "Smile" & "Spanish Serenade", and Duane's "Oklahoma" (paradise) and a new one he wrote about BFF Benjamin (knucklehead)... with Encore ~ IMOEA and it could have been a stellar 3 hour gig... even without The Cat in the hat
Opened with High Falls and had me smiling and dancing for the first time in weeks. Frankie Lombardi is to be commended for singing Blue Sky with only a few hours notice... Kach's voice was magnificent on YDLM and Statesboro.Duane, Pedro and Andy rocked Jessica with Mt Jam teaser. Can't wait to see Kimberly's pics. Sign out front said " Dickey Betts hospitalized... tickets half price "

Good evening! Just got home from The Great Southern show at Tampa Bay Blues Festival at Vinoy Park in downtown St. Petersburg and Brother Duane Betts and company did an OUTSTANDING job without their leader tonight. Special guest Lucky Peterson on guitar and Rod Piazza on Harmonica added some nice flavor to the setlist. Dickey would have been proud of the spirited performance they delivered tonight. Fantastic job in making the best out of a bad set of circumstances. Get well soon Dickey!!
Wild Bill's is rescheduled to May 10:

As always, I'll remain cautiously optimistic.
Love you BETTS Hope you GET WELL !!

I held off until the night before the show to get tickets at Wild Bill's because of recent cancellations. When I finally get tickets, the show gets cancelled an hour later!
I hope I will get a refund...
