 Better than the Great Woods DVDApr 18, 1999
This DVD is awesome. The two shows are both great. And, unlike the Great Woods DVD, they don't interrupt songs with annoying interviews. The sound and video quality is unbelievable considering that it was taped in the late '70s. A must for any true Allman fan.

 the "Toler Brothers" eraAug 13, 2003
I held off buying these two shows for a couple of years...mistake! And I have to respectfully disagree with some of the other reviews here ( about the "weaker" lineup ): I too saw them during this tour, and I thought they SMOKED their set. Poor Charlie Daniels, having to follow the ABB (!) This was in 1981...and I thought then ( and still do ) that the two Tolers ( drums and guitar ) more than held their own. One thing that was a bit weird, though, on a technical note: the outdoor show audio is monaural (!), while the indoor one is stereo; no big deal unless you're a headphone buff like me. Just a bit strange. You'd think that, coming from the same tour, the recording technique would have been consistent.
You can't go wrong with this one. The Allman Brothers Band consistently rocks regardless of the era or the lineup.

 DissapointedMay 27, 2000
By HogDog
"Review"
As a longtime Allman Brothers fan, I was anxious to see this video. The video portion was fine, but the audio is horrible. I have several concert DVD's, including The Eagles Hell Freezes Over and James Taylor"s Live at the Beacon Theatre. In comparison, the audio on these two in a surround format is excellent, but the audio here is substandard, hollow and tinny. It may be that the Eagles and James Taylor were recorded on a stage environment, whereas the Allman's used an outdoor format. I hope the Allman Brothers do a stage performance in the future with an emphasis on the audio portion.

Fantastic DocumentMay 30, 2003
By Charles A Carlino
This DVD is proof positive that the Allman Brothers Band, no matter who is actually in the band besides Gregg and no matter which 'era', is one of the best live bands around. Sure, this was taped in either 1981 or '82 so you do get the additional keyboardist's cheesy synth attack during one or two numbers, BUT you also get Dickey Betts at his guitarist's guitarist peak, spinning off fluid lines and phrases as if it was instinct (probably was!) as well as Gregg Allman's ever soulful growl, expressive Hammond playing, and even a rare glimpse into his abilities as a fine acoustic guitar picker - something for which he's not really known. So, while the "Arista Years" may not have been the best of times for the Brothers as far as recordings were concerned (though in my view, the two Arista albums were still worthy for fans), on the stage was always where they excelled, and this DVD does it's job.

 not the best line up.....Jan 04, 2002
By M. K. Nunn
This dvd is good to own if your a true abb fan, as i am. For someone else to see the band for the first time on this dvd would be disappointing. The band has gone through many changes over the years and this lineup is good, but does not compare to more recent lineups or former ones. These guys on stage just dont have the togetherness that makes this band so great. This dvd does offer some interesting viewing though.
