Dickey Betts & Great Southern: Back Where It All Begins - Live At The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame + Museum
Eagle Rock Entertainment, the leading independent source for high-quality music audio/visual programming, will release Dickey Betts & Great Southern: Back Where It All Begins - Live From the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame + Museum on DVD on September 20, a full-length performance recorded at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland on September 29, 2004. Presented in 5.1 Surround Sound, the DVD features bonus rehearsal footage and an interview with Betts discussing selected tracks. The package also includes a CD of soundcheck versions of some of Betts' most popular songs. Betts, one of the truly great American guitarists of the past 35 years, leads his band through a set composed of the kind of virtuosic, soulful "southern rock" that he pioneered as a charter member of the Allman Brothers Band. His signature Allman tunes like "Ramblin' Man," "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" and "Jessica" are given high-octane renditions as well as Robert Johnson's "Come Into My Kitchen." The band includes onetime Allman's guitarist Dan Toler, Frankie Lombardi on drums, percussion & vocals, Michael Kach on Hammond organ, piano & vocals, Pedro Arevalo on bass guitar and on "...Elizabeth Reed," Betts' son Duane. Alongside the titular members Duane and Gregg Allman, Richard "Dickey" Betts was integral to crafting the Allman Brothers' amalgam of rock and roll, jazz, classical music and blues. Not only did he make up half of the band's tandem guitar team with Duane Allman, heard thrillingly on 1971's Live at Fillmore East; he also composed the band's Coltrane-esque instrumental showpiece "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed." Upon Duane Allman's death in 1971, Betts introduced a country element to the band's repertoire. The Allmans took two hiatuses in the late '70s and early '80s, during which time Betts formed Great Southern and recorded and toured on his own. By 1990, the Allman Brothers reformed and resumed a punishing tour schedule that continues to this day, and quickly assumed their position alongside The Grateful Dead as the godfathers of the now-burgeoning jam band scene. Betts left the Allman Brothers Band in 2000 and soon reformed Great Southern. He has been on the road ever since, including a stint with the Dave Matthews Band in 2003, and a memorable appearance on the 2005 Grammy Awards telecast performing "Ramblin' Man" with Elvin Bishop, Keith Urban and Gretchen Wilson.
