Never came to Australia unfortunately.
Am I right in saying they rarely played outside the U.S. ?

Without Betts it's not the complete Allmans.

Or Duane. Couldn't be helped. They rose above it, trust me.

Dickey has major anger management issues with the late Allman Brothers. That said, if he had walked on stage at the Beacon the audience would have gone berserk.

I saw Dickey do a guest spot with the Tedeschi-Trucks Band last September at the Beacon. It was cringe-inducing how badly he played. He seemed drunk and couldn't keep up on dual guitar lines that he wrote and has played 1,000 times. It was sad to see the author of the greatest rock instrumental ever (In Memory of Elizabeth Reed) unable to play his finest achievement competently.

Here that performance is. Yes I agree it is not Dickey Betts at his best, but you gotta give the 70 year old legend an A for effort, and the band an A+ for changing the tempo and such to try to match his playing.
To put it into perspective, who knows how Duane would be playing at that age, Keith never even tries to do complicated arranged solos like this, and Derek and Warren are quite a bit younger. peace
