Whatever the issues are, and I can't claim to know because I don't have any inside information and won't speculate, but I really miss Dickey with the ABB. I can honestly say that I don't think they're missing his playing THAT much because Warren and Derek are great, but Dickey not being there just doesn't seem right and never will. I definitely miss his vocals and stage presence (along with his playing). He just needs to be part of the family again. And no...Garcia is not better than Betts.

the only guy better than Betts is Garcia

I saw dickey play along with the marshall tucker band and charlie daniels a couple years back and even though he was the 'opener' for the other 2 bands, he showed them all up hands down. Amazing guitarist, The Allman's were never the same without him, how could they be? This song proves it.

AMEN! Dickey is more of a Brother than Gregg will ever be. If Duane were alive, Gregg would be solo act. He (Duane) would not have put up with all the BS that Dickey endured for years. Duane Dickey would still be playing together as the ABB. Duane would not have let Gregg get away with all the crap he has pulled through the years. Dickey really gained my respect when he refused to even ride on the same bus as the ass-hole narc/rat Gregg. Long live the Ramblin' Man, "Genuine Since 69" !

excellent points guys...Dickey is the only Allman brother that can still play even though that doosh Gregg is still out there.

Well said. Dickie Betts held the band up, while Gregg was mired in heroin. Their sound today surely misses the CLASS of Dickie Betts!! Warren is GREAT, Derek is a great slide player, but both of them together, can't replace ONE Dickie Betts!! Gregg has BIG balls for 'firing' Dickie, after all the shit Greggs been thru!! Go back to 70-71.... Dickie was there!! He was with Duane, and complimented the band, very well. Dickie Betts is a TRUE Allman Brother, and he should be in the band, today!

Dickey is the Allman Brothers. There has been moone playing with the Allman Brothers since Dickey was "fired" by Gregg for drinking. What a joke. Gregg drank between drinks. Its like Keith Richards firing Brian Jones for drinking or Slash firing whats his name for drinking. Com'on people. The Allmans crashed without Dickey.
