Not the same band without Betts. Occasionally they will play "Blue Sky" but I don't think they have played "Ramblin Man" since D.B. left. Overall the sound has changed. No more country licks and I really miss the lyrical playing of D.B.
That said Derek has brought a new younger audience to ABB shows and is probably adding to the longevity of the band -- something that is nowhere to be seen with the Stones.
And since this is a Stones board -- the 1/20/06 MSG show far exceeded my expectations!! Great show........bald heads and all......
Long live Hair Implants!!!!!!!!!!!
