A couple of upcoming new Dickey releases

I'm not sure how official these release are, but they are on Amazon. Anyone have any more info?

Dickey Betts Live In Roberts Arena - Sarasota

The 1983 show is one of the popular BHLT shows in circulation. I'm guessing the Roberts Arena is a recent show from Dickey's hometown while he is in semi-retirement mode. May not be with the whole Great Southern band, he has been showing up as a guest at some gigs I hear.

The first 2 releases are definitely "grey area" releases (legal to sell in the European Union but not in the USA).
You can tell by looking at the cover art that this is an obscure label specialized in releasing these radio broadcasts that are older then 25 years. The picture of Dickey is of a much later date. Most of these releases have clumsy looking cover art often with pictures from different eras of that particular band, even with different line-ups. Song titles and recording info are also often incorrect or incomplete. Like old fashioned bootlegs.
Recently there was another grey area BHLT release mislabeled as The Southern Rock Allstars (also a show from 1983):

all of those look to be sketchy releases but i have a few of those releases that sound great so hope this follows

I'm pretty sure the Roberts Arena show in Sarasota is from July 2014. It was a benefit show called "Saving Austin's Baby Blues". It featured Dickey with Great Southern as the headliners. I have not heard this show but the reviews sound very positive

It's RobArts arena. Been to all of Dickey's shows there.
The release could be from 2013...? Hope so, it was a good performance.
