Happy Birthday Skydog. Owsley's sonic genius captured this live, a year before the album that made 'em famous.


At The Thunderbird Hotel, August 1970... I worked at The Beachcomber, 5 blocks away, on the day this shot was taken by Bobby Whitlock of Derek & the Dominoes.

A day late, and a silver dollar short but happy birthday to Dickey Betts! As Duane said, "I'm the famous guitarist in the band but not the best guitarist in the band".

I don't know who the best guitarist of the rock and roll era is... Hendrix, Clapton, Stevie Ray, etc. arguments can be made for all. But the _two_ best guitarists to ever play together were Duane Allman and Dickey Betts:
