In these two live concerts, rock's legendary Allman Brothers Band whip up the kind of excitement their fans have loved for years. This pioneering Southern rock band, including Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts, blazes through their classics in a concert performance live from Gainesville, Florida. Then the band rocks for more than an hour at the Capitol Theater. Also included is rare footage of an on-the-road hotel room jam session and a peek at a private acoustic "unplugged-style" session in a recording studio. Songs: Pony Boy, Jessica, Let Me Ride [Hotel Jam], You Don't Love Me, Blue Sky, Statesboro Blues, Whippin' Post, Never Knew How Much (I Needed You), Danny Blue, The Preacher, Melissa [Studio Jam], Come and Go Blues, Can't Take It With You, Crazy Love, One Way Out, In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, Southbound, The Judgment, Ramblin' Man.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the Great Woods DVD, April 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Allman Brothers Band: Brothers of the Road (DVD)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars the "Toler Brothers" era, August 13, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Allman Brothers Band: Brothers of the Road (DVD)

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.

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.
