Rating: Summary: Truly a great documentary, surprising acoustic set. Review: Any true Allman Brothers fan should have this video in their collection. A departure from your ordinary concert footage, this feature has interviews with band members and an all acoustic two song set which showcases the incredible versatility of one of the best southern rock bands of this generation. Of course, it also includes some expected live jams which sound exceptional in digital format. If you consider yourself a fan, you will enjoy this video.
Rating: Summary: good show Review: Drum solo in Elizabeth Reed is great. Soundtrack is good. Worth owning.
Rating: Summary: Good music marred by terrible production Review: DVD has tremendous potential for music. While few movies are worth more than a single viewing, a good music video bears repeating. This DVD is about as bad as they come. Too much talk, not enough music. A voiceover is presented during "Blue Sky", which has one of my favorite AB's guitar solos. Most upsetting is that the closing credits are displayed while the band plays "Whipping Post".
Rating: Summary: Shameful Review: Everyone associated with the release of this DVD should be ashamed of themselves. The VHS version is a masterpiece, featuring 90+ minutes of a smoking hot Allman Brothers show. The DVD is packaged identically (even stating a "running time" of "90 minutes"), yet clocks in at 55 minutes. Many songs are abbreviated versions of the originals found on the VHS. The DVD is deceptively (if not fraudulently) labeled. I used to think of the Allman Brothers Band as a band for the common man. After this ripoff, I've vowed not to spend another dime on anything that will earn Gregg and the boys another penny. Anyone who paid hard-earned money for this worthless DVD should be entitled to a refund and an apology from the band.

Rating: Summary: Complete Show On VHS? Review: Gac,
I haven't opened my DVD & thankfully I bought it elsewhere so it can be easily returned, but I think it's only fair to point out that the VHS NEVER contained the entire concert......
I was there that night, I have the show on cassette, so I can guarentee you that many songs are cut including Jessica.
The show itself is about 2:25 & the VHS was never that long.
Rating: Summary: What a letdown. Review: I am a big Allman Brothers fan, having enjoyed and loved their music since 1970, so I was very disappointed when several songs were interrupted with interview material. The performances were fine, unfortunately, in those instances I wasn't given the privilage of hearing entire songs. DVD technology allows for re-editing this material so that the interviews are put in a separate menu. I would very much like to enjoy the original concert the way it was recorded, not as a re-issue of the TV program. There is a great opportunity to give the listener something better. Luckily, I was able to return this title because the running time was incorrectly listed on the box as much longer than it really is.
Rating: Summary: Very disapointing. Review: I am a huge Allman Brothers fan. I bought the disk thinking it was a concert video. Nothing but interviews with music playing in the background. Luckily I was able to exchange it for something else. Cannot belive the A-Bros would endorse this .
Rating: Summary: I'm made as hell and not going to take it anymore! Review: I am tired of being ripped off by these music companies. Do they really think people are so stupid as to pay money for this! The Allman Brothers rock, but what was Sony thinking. I have asked them to recall the disk, and replace mine with VHS. I urge you to do the same. Do not buy this disk!
Rating: Summary: Please re-release this DVD unbutchered!! Review: I can't believe they actually eliminated songs that were on the original VHS tape. WHY!?? And to interrupt the other songs and trash this amazing concert is such a travesty. I hope whoever was responsible for this mess was fired.
