Dickey Betts Band & Les Paul, "Liz Reed", NYC 2001

This would have been something to see. 2 giants of the electric guitar jazzing it up.

Wow and Les Paul's comment that Dickey was one of the very first to play it when it came out ?
He said it, so it must be true, no ?
I get it, "one of the..."

i was there! lana sent out a quick note to the enewsletter base. i dropped everything and went. dickey sat in the back to watch a bunch. got to say hello and shake hands. got three songs in i think. Liz Reed and Jessica for sure.

How cool that must have been...

WOW 😉

WOW 😮

What a great find, thank you so much for sharing! Dickey seems to be so happy...

That Lee Roy Parnell segment was really cool.
Everything in Moderation. Including Moderation.

a couple other notes from this show.
- the show started at 9. and it was les, his brother and a drummer. that was fun to see. but as it got toward 11 pm, i was like, shit, dickey is not showing. glad i waited it out.
they also played jessica. les did not play with dickey. he just watched.
when they were done with that, the trio came back on to play. dickey stood near the entrance of the iridium and just watched with admiration. it was a cool scene.
one funny quip that was just missing in this video: les said, "dickey and i used to get DRUNK together." and everyone cracked up. that's what led to the conversation at the beginning of this vid.
