Miss and love YOU Brother Dickey!!! God bless you and your family and friends!!! RIP my friend!!!

Dickey The night I was at the Living Room in Prov. R.I. when you played set 2 with Gregg Allman's band playing 1st, was the best show I've ever seen in my life! I met Gregg at the bar while you were on stage, he told me "kid wait until the last set" clicked beers with me and went back to the bands back room. Damn, When you all came out for the last set, I was blown away by the talent shining up there, I almost went Blind everyone back to back with no room for a mouse on stage. I was up front,...

Very sad over losing you. I wish we had known each other. I followed your career from piedmont park days at the beginning of it all to now. It kinda freaked me out when I found we had the same first names. You did very good . I love your music.
Fly on gypsy, fly on brother ...

A good friend and brother, I will miss you.

Dickey Betts,
Your music meant the world to me, from the time I was 15 years old and started playing guitar. I adored the Allman Brothers. I would like to make a pilgrimage to Macon, Georgia to see where it all began. Sending love to you in rock and roll, heaven. You will always stay in my heart

Dicky created a guitar sound that had something to do with the angels above ! RIP Dicky, your sound was true and beautiful. Gavan Reynolds DERRY- Ireland

He said it all. ....... Do I need to say more?

First saw the ABB at the Overton Park Shell in Memphis spring of `71 when Duane was still alive. Have been a huge fan and seen up-teenth ABB concerts since then and also have grown old with them. Dickie was a fluid and masterful guitarist and songwriter. He had big shoes to fill when Duane passed of which he did without a doubt. Thanks for the memories and rest in peace.
