http://www.hittinthenote.com/cart/ps-369-7-dickey-betts-great-southernbrback-where-it-all-beginsbrdvdcd.aspxThis amazing video is now presented in sync! Dickey Betts & Great Southern perform the Allman Brothers incredible tune "Back Where It All Begins" during his triumphant return to New York City's Beacon Theatre on 7/26/2006. This was Dickey's first performance in the Fillmore-like venue since the March Madness 2000, his last stint as a member of the Allman Brothers Band.Let me put it bluntly: "Back Where It All Begins" is the best original song recorded in the 1990's...period. With a sound that is a cross between Idlewild South's "Revival" and "Ramblin' Man" from Brothers And Sisters, this is the title track from an incredible album called "Where It All Begins" (beautiful album cover art on this disc!), an album that has yielded several Allman Brothers Band live performance staples, some of them sounding as though they came from the debut album or Idlewild South, rather than from an album in the 1990's. Other concert favorites that have emerged from this under-recognized album include Sailin' 'Cross The Devil's Sea, No One To Run With (a real crowd-pleaser), and Soulshine, which has evolved into an epic live performance number.http://www.hittinthenote.com/cart/ps-369-7-dickey-betts-great-southernbrback-where-it-all-beginsbrdvdcd.aspx

Jul 7, 2008 - Dickey Betts is "still" the best Allman Brother!DB & Great Southern put on a much better show than the "new" ABB. Andy Aledort and Dickey's son Duane (guess who he is named after?) are both top notch. Pedro is the best bass player since Berry Oakley. See 'um if you can.

Jul 7, 2008 - 7/26/2006, Beacon Theatre, NYC. This was Dickie's first, and so far, only, appearance in the Beacon since leaving the ABB. Both bands are fantastic and deliver the best show around and mucho enjoyment and happiness...Merry Christmas to all my fellow Peach Heads!

HRHRaider Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - Easygoer--I agree completely that this was the best song of the 1990s. The version on "2nd Set" is even better than the studio version, with awesome solos by both Dickey & Warren

Jul 7, 2008 - This guy's got so much heart, it's pathetic. I just love the guy. Keep it rollin' Dickie, you got the stuff. Marc Trainor.

Jul 7, 2008 - The thing about Dickey is, he is still just as good as he ever was. Everybody who says dickey sucks now doesn't know what they're talking about. you don't play nearly everyday and tour every summer with the Allman Brothers and than suddenly suck one day. The man is a genius and is as good as ever.

Jul 7, 2008 - 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.
DOConROCK1 Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - 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!
joeguy02 Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - excellent points guys...Dickey is the only Allman brother that can still play even though that doosh Gregg is still out there.
123GuitarDave Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - 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" !

Jul 7, 2008 - 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.
