Rating: Summary: Disgraceful Review: This DVD is a disgrace. Pathetic. It's actually an outstanding film of an Allman Brothers concert, but the producers ruined it by interrupting the songs with interviews. How can they be so stupid? How can the members of The Allman Brothers allow the record company to butcher the songs like that? Don't they have enough interest in their own music to pay attention to what gets released? If you want to see the full length versions of the songs in this concert, buy the VHS version because it's all there. As for the DVD release, it's such a shame that corporations and record labels show such disrespect for music. The Allman Brothers are one of the greatest live bands of all time and there isn't very much concert footage that has been released, so why did they have to ruin this wonderful concert?
Rating: Summary: Editing #$%^ Review: This is a great concert, but they cut the Blue Sky!!!! I can't belive it. I have watched the VHS version which is the entire show, but the DVD only runs 55 minutes! Hopefully the ABB will re-release this in the same format as the VHS.
Rating: Summary: Above average from a great band. Review: This is not the ideal release for ABB, but better than anything else currently available. The line up on this tour was the best they have put together since Duane died. That being said, this band deserves better. There has to be a full concert with this line up in the archives somewhere, dying to be released.This recording is taken from a Japanese televsion show, hence the cut-in interviews and abbreviated songs.
Rating: Summary: Get the VHS version Review: What a major disappointment!!! I have the VHS and was expecting the same only better sound and picture on the DVD, boy was I suprised. The packaging says "Blue Sky" in included, don't believe it, it's less than 2 minutes and what there is of it is stepped on by interviews. "In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed" is all there but also stepped on. Also where is "Jessica". Stay away from the DVD and buy the VHS.
Rating: Summary: I am glad I didn't trade in my Laserdisc! Review: what an incredible botch job! the laserdisc rocks! and I understand so does the vhs version...but this DVD cuts out songs...cuts up songs...and generally dissapoints...THE INTERVIEWS SHOULD BE IN ADDITION TO...NOT ..instead off SONY..get it right! and put this out AGAIN!
Rating: Summary: Don't waste the money Review: What were they thinking? I bought this for the music, not to listen to interviews. They certainly bungled their use of DVD technology on this one. This DVD lacks one important thing; the Allman Brothers making music. Don't bother.
Rating: Summary: Great music, terrible DVD Review: What's the deal? I am a huge ABB fan, and thought this was a great show. But what the hell is up with these stupid interviews in the middle of songs... right in the middle of solos. Seriously, who would do such a stupid thing. It would be a great DVD if they had the whole show, uninterrupted. Why not just put the interviews in a whole different section or disc. If you want an Allman Brothers DVD, just get the new one from the Beacon... and hope somebody finally realizes that this DVD sucks and fixes it.
Rating: Summary: Buy the VHS and hope these DA's wakeup and rerelease the DVD Review: Why couldn't they make the DVD like the VHS copy? no editing, i don't want Liz Reed and Whipping Post edited. If the want to include the interviews, it's a Freaking DVD. Put them on a bonus track. come on guys, the ABB and us fans deserve better.
