THE ALL-STAR DICKEY BETTS CONCERT IN MACON WILL BE STREAMED LIVE FOR FREE.........
The sold-out show will feature many of Dickey’s bandmates and close friends including Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi, Oteil Burbridge, Jaimoe, Chuck Leavell, Devon Allman, Duane Betts, Charlie Starr, Jimmy Hall, Lamar Williams Jr, and more.
In response to the high demand, The Betts family made the decision to offer a free live stream of the concert that will be available exclusively at nugs.net/DickeyBetts.
Additionally, the Betts family, Dickey’s long time manager, David Spero and Berklee College of Music are excited to announce that a portion of proceeds from the 'In Memory of Dickey Betts' concert will go to establish the Dickey Betts Memorial Endowed Scholarship at Berklee College of Music.
This scholarship, created through the generosity of Donna Betts, will honor Dickey Betts' legacy by supporting talented and deserving students pursuing their musical dreams at Berklee.
The 'In Memory of Dickey Betts' concert is more than a tribute; it is a celebration of Dickey's profound contributions to music and his commitment to nurturing future generations of artists. Through this concert, friends, family, and fans come together to ensure that his passion for music lives on.
The Dickey Betts Memorial Endowed Scholarship at Berklee College of Music will provide financial assistance to students who demonstrate both exceptional musical ability and financial need. It stands as a lasting tribute to Dickey Betts' belief in the transformative power of music and education. “We are thrilled to know that the proceeds are going to such a worthy cause,” adds Duane.
For more information or to make a donation to the fund, please visit: https://musicspromise.salsalabs.org/DickeyBett.../index.html .

@peccles I saw a Ticketmaster advertisement on a cable music channel and Ticketmaster called it The Allman Brothers. Not the Allman Brothers Band just The Allman Brothers. 

The Dead had a similar problem as by oversight or purposely some promotors would claim the Grateful Dead was performing. 

Hope ticket buyers who may not be tuned in to all things Allman Brothers Band don't show up expecting the show to sound like The Allman Brothers Band does on the classic radio stations because it won't. 

Probably some of the instrumentals will be similar enough.

The Back Where It all Begins with Warren was sublime.

Smoking hot from start to finish.  The entire band got lost during the organ solo in Liz Reed.  But true pros that they are, they recovered extremely nicely and Warren went into a burning solo to pick up the pace.  Other than that, to me the show was impeccable.  And I loved all the speeches showing SO much appreciation for Dickey.  I hope this scholarship fund really takes off money-wise.

Before Dickey joined the Allman Brothers Band he was a professional bull rider performing in rodeos around the country. 

And in his later years Dickey was an avid gardener spending many hours planting and attending to his garden and plants.

@tbomike 

That might have been my favorite part of the show. It seemed to go on forever. In a great way.

Everything in Moderation. Including Moderation.
