5. Dickey Betts and Great Southern

Where/When: Penn’s Peak, 325 Maury Road, Jim Thorpe, 8 p.m., Friday.

Why Go: Dickey Betts was one of the founding members of The Allman Brothers Band and, with the late Duane Allman, formed one of the greatest lead guitar tandems in rock history. He also wrote some of the Allmans’ most well-known songs, including “Ramblin’ Man,” “Jessica,” “Blue Sky,” and “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed.” Rolling Stone magazine ranked him as the 58th greatest guitarist of all time. Some would say, myself included, that ranking is a little low.
