Where should I begin with them (album not drugs).

Link Wray enjoyed them and went more blues rock in the early 70s on Polydor.

A band I was in opened for Molly Hatchet about 15 years ago in Florida. They seemed appreciative of our set. Still like to YouTube a lot of this stuff.

Best band of the '70's

One of the all-time great bands (and Live At Fillmore East is among the finest live albums ever recorded), but "Best band of the '70s"? There's a lot of serious competition for that title.

I think when you consider how many musicians they influenced, you’ve got to put the ABB at the top.

Not true. Betts wrote their biggest hits.

Certainly “one of” the best bands of the 1970s.

(personally, I’m partially to Johnny Winter)

Saw them when they were still playing small venues like clubs.
Duane was a guitar master.

Dreams is a masterwork.

You beat me to this. I donā€™t normally like covers but the Molly Hatchet version is so good I can barely listen to this one now.

Ramblin Man?

Allman Brothers made the top ten with Bett's Ramblin Man but it was no Dreams.

ā€œRamblin Man?
Allman Brothers made the top ten with Bettsā€™ Ramblin Man but it was no Dreams.ā€

Gregg said Ramblin Man which Dickie wrote is a very good country song.

When you listen to the vinyl Fillmore East and I think the CD you hear between songs Duane giving credit to the songwriters. Elmore James, Dickie, etc.

No doubt Betts made the band a ton of money with Ramblin Man.

They showed their appreciation by kicking him out years later.

Iā€™m not sure about what happened there.

I know Duane had a high regard for Dickey. And Dickey adored Duane

I think Betts was asked to take a leave of absence to clean up his addiction(s).

Dickie claims it was after he asked for an audit of their books.
