Dickey is a huge part of my musical life. Saw him twice with Dangerous Dan Toler in the clip above: 1979 (SPAC) and 1981 (Utica Auditorium).

Met an IrishAmerican from Port Jeff LI as a freshman at Potsdam State.
We later became dorm roommates my sophomore year.
He had a hotrod red chrome wheeled Chevelle SS with an 8 track that cranked.
It was nice to go touring listening to Blue Sky under blue skies in the area...
The Long Lake speed trap used to get him coming & going from & to home in LI.

RIP DIckey Betts.

Saw the Allmans a few times around this era. The best was '81 at the Philly Spectrum and hanging around the bus and meeting them after the show. We were waiting around for a passenger friend of a friend who apparently had a little brush with law over some little printed paper tabs. The exit door opens, revealing flowing long blonde hair and a fur coat. It was *just* a gorgeous girlfriend of the band, Gregg came out right behind her in an Eagles jersey! The band was very cordial and shot the shit for a few minutes wishing the birds good luck before boarding the bus.

Edit: Though I never saw ABB there this was one of my favorite venues back in the day seeing Jerry Garcia Band, Bob Wier bands (Kingfish, Bobby and the Midnights) and Hot Tuna that I can think of
