Dickey Betts Tickets

He still can jam! I appreciate when he couldn't sing and handed the mic over to the dude that did...he was awesome! Marshall Tucker - a bit disappointing with the vocals..bummer!

I have seen Dickey solo and with the Allman Bros over 35 times so when I say it was sad to see Dickey unable to play guitar anymore, I know what Im talking about. I love Dickey but he never should have come out of retirement. It was avery sad display.

We had seen Dickey Betts several years ago before his self-announced "retirement" and he was already over the hill but thought he had cleaned up his act and dedicated himself to playing well again. Unfortunately, fooled again, one of the worst concerts we ever attended, just a big "cash grab" by someone who couldn't even get in shape and dedicate himself to touring as a professional. The only redeeming factor to the show was Devon Allman, a nice guy and excellent guitarist and singer. He opened the show with a half-hour set that was perfect. Marshall Tucker was just OK, good guitars but terrible lead singer whose sole job appeared to be playing the tambourine. It took 50 minutes from the end of their set until Dickey Betts came out, the stage crew, seemingly in the dozens, evidently couldn't get the Hammond organ to work, by then it was almost 10:30 p.m. Mercifully, Dickey "only" played for about an hour, appeared intoxicated, with a bottle of Budweiser behind him, staggered and couldn't speak straight, could barely play the guitar, a beat or two behind everyone else on almost every song. Duane Betts has never been more than serviceable but looked like Duane Allman compared to Dickey. Droves of concertgoers left during his set, which didn't even include Ramblin' Man. Note to Duane: send Dickey a fax, it's all over, you're done; never again.

A memory I will never forget. Thank you Mr. Betts. The road goes on forever.

The Devon Allman project is basically an Allmand Brothers cover band. The Marshall Tucker band is still great albiet the only original member's voice has seen better days. Dickey Betts did not seem as fluid on the guitar as when he was with the Allman Brother's and his energy level was quite low. With that said, he's still a great guitarist and I always thought the Allman Brothers were not quite as good without him. Highlite of the show was Jessica, but there was no encore

After 40 years it’s time for Dickey to go home to Sarasota, hang up him guitar and wait for the mailman to keep bringing those royalty checks.

Left the show at 10:50 to get home and Betts wasn’t even on stage yet. Roadies we’re doing something with the keyboard- who cares Betts doesn’t even play keyboard. Beacon employee told me show was supposed to end at 12. So assuming he got on by 11- the show was only going to be an hour. Marshall Tucker was the middle act and he doesn’t even lead sing his songs anymore. I thought it was one of the worst concerts I’ve been to.

I saw Dickey many times when he was at the height of his power, and that power was considerable. I seen him several times since 2010 as well. This time, in all honesty, it just left me sad. The same sort of sad that I felt the last time I saw Chuck Berry.... who at that point, couldn't tune his own guitar. It wasn't even good from a nostalgic perspective. I'm sorry that I went. I don't want to remember Dickey this way.

It was a good experience and I would recommend it but with caveats. I think you would have to accept it as a sort of "farewell" show to a ;layer that has been very important to the guitar and rock music in general. Practically one of the inventors of heroic guitar soloing and a master of tone, touch and phrasing. He is also one of the great composers in the rock music genre. That said the last few years since he last toured appear to have put some age on him and he did lack the stamina he used to show which resulted in issues with timing and off notes through the show. He appeared to tire early on and at times it seemed that his son Duane had to help him with some arrangements. Duane himself has really come into his own as a player and a band leader and it felt like he really made the show happen as a tribute to his father. It was great that the Beacon sold out and I think most everyone there wanted to show their appreciation for all the great music and the importance of his body of work.

The show was extremely disappointing. Dickey seemed ill, and we hope he is ok. The band did NOT play Ramblin' Man or In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, which they did play in recent shows. The Marshall Tucker Band was also disappointing, but we enjoyed seeing Devon Allman and his band, although they only played three songs. I wish we had skipped this show.

Came in from St Petersburg Florida to hear Dicky.... still has the same Magic. His son Duane is beginning to sound a lot like him ! Truly a magical evening.

Although I wish that The Devon Allman Project had played a full set, and while Marshall Tucker was good I could have done without it, it was all worth it to see Dickey again! He was strong and inspired and it was fantastic to see him playing with Duane. Best song of the night was Midnight Rider with Devon on lead vocal. All in all, another magical evening at the Beacon!

This was an amazing come back for dickey Betts the concert including the band and the venue were amazing I do it again in a heartbeat

Set up problems Betts show was short and not very good

Dickey was a shell of his former self. That powerful and lush guitar sound of his was reduced to a muddle of tempo confusion and clams. I'll always have the memories of days past.

With Dickey singing Blue Sky, Devon coming out to sing Midnight Rider, and Duane playing alongside his dad on the goldie, it was a historic night of wall to wall music. I wouldn't have missed it for the world. If you get the chance to see Dickey, Duane and/or Devon, GO! Their bands are really great with Pedro Alvarez on bass for Dickey, and Devon & Duane's bands featuring Johnny Stachela, Jackson Stokes, and many more. When Jaimoe came on stage and played with Dickey, as the last 2 remaining original Allman Brothers, it was the cherry on top. Bonnie and Bekka Bramlett also provided back up. A truly great show!

What a great show, bringing Dickey and a host of friends and family back to Macon for some ABB love. The crowd was energetic and the music was great. Great job by all those involved in putting this show together for the fans. Cheers!

Why must everyone stand throughout the whole show? The folks in front stand and it's a terribly cascading waste of tickets.I thought I wanted to see Dickey Betts do Ramblin'Man.I saw Don McLean do American Pie and Brian Wilson do God Only Knows.So I thought almost any amount of money to see an icon sing a classic tune.Reuniting with Jaimoe (for 1 song) and adding the Bramletts was nice and all but Dickey just can't do it anymore.His son blew him off the stage.Everybody gets older but know your limitations man.Some of the ABB's intricate fretwork is best left to the younger (and more sober) guitarists. And get off my lawn.

I have too much respect and love in my heart for Dickey to see and hear what Father Time has done to his talent. The band seemed to be playing to him instead of with him. I know that as fans we expect certain things from our heros, but we need to know when to let go too. The ABB is over folks, but long live The ABB!

The venue was old and in disrepair. The Meet N Greet room was like a storage room in the basement
