DICKEY BETTS & GREAT SOUTHERN
Live at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Bass Player Magazine
By Brian Fox | November 2005

Former Allman Brothers Band lead guitarist Dickey Betts revisits some of the Allmans’ greatest hits on this live DVD and CD, including “Statesboro Blues,” “Blue Sky,” and “Jessica.” The band smokes, and Pedro Arevalo digs hard on his Lakland Skyline 44-02, giving Great Southern a snappy, edgy bottom end. In the DVD Pedro describes his role in the band, namely how Dickey encourages him to play out and “chase the melody.” Pedro is always in step, copping Dickey’s licks as soon as they’re played, frequently taking liberties to flash his own impressive chops. Despite some hair-raising rhythm-section snafus on “Ramblin’ Man,” the band lays down the kind of dirty Southern blues that’ll have you hootin’ for more. (BF)
