What exactly does this mean:

"After the Allmans fell apart in 1976..."

That implies that the band ceased to exist at that point, which is not true. I think that needs clarification.

[edit] Needs better focus

This article needs more focus on Betts, and less on general ABB stuff. For example, I don't think it needs a whole paragraph on the founding of Gov't Mule. I don't think it needs to explain who replaced Haynes and Woody in ABB, because that's information about ABB, not Betts. On the other hand, I think it needs a lot more information about the songs he's written (with or without ABB), especially the big hits, and the albums he's released, and things like that. It also, of course, needs more citations, more facts, less opinions, less subjective observations. And, before anyone says {{sofixit}}, let me say, I'm willing to take a stab at it, but I'm not sure how soon I'll have enough time. So, if anyone else wants to try a little cleanup and rewriting, they should feel free. Xtifr _tälk 09:26, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
