“After playing his second show with the Dominos the next night in Syracuse, New York, Eric approached Duane about his offer.
“I said, ‘You know, we really need you in the band now—I don’t really want to go on as a quartet. Would you join us?’
He said, ‘I don’t think I can do that,’ and at that point, he went straight back to the Allman Brothers.”

“Joe Dan Petty picked up Duane at the airport, and he strutted up, pulled out a roll of bills, and said, “JD! I got Big Daddy bucks!”
Once they were in the car, Duane said, “I’ll tell you one thing, Clapton’s got nothing on Dickey Betts.”
