He's in critical but stable condition, with surgery scheduled for Friday. Been a tough year for Les Brers. Wishing Dickey a full recovery.

I wish him well. One can only wonder if this has anything to do with the mini-stroke he had recently.

oh no he is one of my favorites

Dickey had a mild stroke last month that caused him to cancel a few shows. Get well Dickey! Prayers for you.

Dickie was not part of Les Bres. They disbanded well over a year ago.

Dickey Betts starts talking about an incident in 1993, when Betts, along with Bob Dylan, the Band, Stephen Stills and others, had been invited to play at a Bill Clinton inauguration event.
Betts’ performance was shaky - the house band was so inept, he says, it could barely get through “Southbound,” a song from his years with the Allman Brothers Band.
Backstage, Betts recalls, he met “a real smartass in a three-piece suit” who told him, “’You got to do some woodshedding to play with the big boys.’”
Betts became enraged, slugging the guy and knocking him onto Dylan, who was napping on a couch.
Betts was afraid he had hit a congressman, but it turned out he was another act’s drug dealer. “It was really a relief,” Betts says. “I was worried about the police comin’ to arrest me.”

I'm sure he'll be fine.

Very sorry to hear. Certainly hope he manages a full recovery.
Had Blue Sky on repeat for about 1/2 hour the other day, such melodic and fluid guitar playing.

All the best to you.

Safe recovery …. hope all goes well …

Oh no , please be okay . One of my personal top 3 in Les Paul tone (the other 2 being Jimmy Page and Bluesbreaker era Eric Clapton) One of my most favorite bands the Allmans and the sweetest beer soaked PAF Les Paul /Marshall tone . Such a big huge influence on me as his sound/tone is so inbreed into my DNA and blood stream . Such great songs that he has written with the Allmans such as Blue Sky , Ramblin Man , Southbound. I wish him the best for a speedy recovery !!!!!!!!!!

I think he was referring the ABB.

"No Anchovies, Please"

Get well, Dickey.

First saw Dickey with the Allman Brothers at the Fillmore East when they recorded their classic live album, and most recently at the Saint George Theater on Staten Island where he was in fine form. The show was recorded for an upcoming DVD. Duane Allman's son, Devon, sat in for "Midnight Rider". Here's hoping for a full and quick recovery.

Blue Sky is my favorite guitar riff of all time(thats saying something) Get Well Soon Dickey....

Dickie Betts' surgery went well today. Good news.
