Jessica plus . . . . . . . . The ABB argument continues!

 

and not an Allman brother in sight . . . . . . for the ABB arguments from Merkins who are choosing to argue with me about the value of the Allman Brothers and my saying it was "that Southern schtick" and I didn’t rate them . . . . look how happy Dickey is here!? Listen to his playing here! Better than any during his time with the ABB which he was a founder member of!!! . . . . gus, guys, GUYS it’s just an opinion! calm down! Stop reaching for your Smith & Wesson 45s!

Dickey Betts of the Allman Brothers plays two songs, joined on the second tune by Stray Cat Brian Setzer (playing a signature Pete Townshend Schecter), in a performance filmed in Passaic, New Jersey 11-20-84 and later broadcast on late night TV. Also in the band is pianist and Allman Brothers vet Chuck Leavell (Rolling Stones, Sea Level), and bassist Kenny Aaronson (HSAS, Bob Dylan, Billy Idol, Joan Jett, Rick Derringer). You can find more of this set by searching BetaGems for "Brian Setzer & Dickey Betts 11-20-84 PT 2 late night TV performance."
