It’s hard to get your brain around the fact that Dickey Betts’ been playing 10 minute guitar solos since 1968. Harder still to think he did it again last nite and keeps on keepin’ on!<\/p>\n

And his band. Wow. 7 of the strongest musicians anywhere.<\/p>\n

Ever, ever ever.<\/p>\n

With his son as one of two co-leadguitarists sharing the stage, holy crap! Sometimes they trade licks in a circle forever. Inspiring each other over and over and over. And it shows in the audience response, too.<\/p>\n

Things started out slow and built up to a roar, which has been his soloing style, songwriting style and concert style since the get go. I lost count but I think the small cozy 800 or so in attendance asked for 2 or 3 encores. And he humbly gave ’em. Lots of Thank You’s and God Bless you’s.<\/p>\n

The two kit drummers who usually weave in and out between sounding exactly similar and perfectly\u00c2\u00a0 complementary opposite, gave a couple drum solos that were out of this world while the rest of the band took a break. Then after a second “mini-encore” that way, the bass player came out WITH the drummers and simply wailed as a trio more potent than any drum and bass you’ve ever heard before.<\/p>\n

Blue Sky, Ramblin Man, they pulled out all the stops. I’ll close just saying their bass player is the best I’ve heard anywhere in about ten years.<\/p>\n
