a nice sunshiny start with the Allmans.  BOS1 just because.
I hope Dicky Betts is OK. My understanding is that he was ousted from the latest version of the Allman Brothers because he couldn't keep his addictions (alcohol, most likely) under control. Of course, you can't complain about Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks.
It's sad, but the split seems bitter, in a Pink Floyd kind of way, lawsuits and all.  Betts is the creative spark behind much of what we think of as the Allman Bros sound.  I met him once, quite a country boy, but could he ever play.
Don't stand in the way of LOVE!
