Editorial Reviews

Any new music from the original lineup of the Allman Brothers Band is great to hear, and their new Archive Series CD, Boston Common 8/17/71, is one you will listen to often, from the first note to the last one! The band played in Boston many times in their early days, and it continues to be one of their favorite towns to perform in. The ABB truly reached their first big peak in 1971, and this single-disc CD showcases the music they presented on the stage each night they went out. Along with some cool samplings of their stage banter are amazing versions of "You Don't Love Me," "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed," and a riveting and unusual "Whipping Post" that ends the show. Get your copy of this outstanding performance and enjoy it time and time again!

Here's some info on how this cd compares to some of the others in this series of releases. This recording is better than the StonyBrook release and the American Univ release. Yes, there are some minor faults to the sound, but in all it is superior to the others mentioned. A big plus is the percussion was miked very well and sounds really good. Both guitars were on fire (as usual) and sound good although no major surprises here. If you liked the other releases mentioned, you will be happy with this one as well.

I picked this one up off the Allman Brothers web sight, I am very impressed with it. Great song selection, some hiss but not that bad. Another plus is it clocks in at almost eighty minutes, they also have Duane & Berry with them. Some great guitar from Dickey & Duane, and Gregg & Dickey deliver their classic vocals. This is the last so far of this series, all five sets are well worth purchasing. There is not a whole lot out there of the older stuff with Duane & Berry, so this is great stuff to have.

Any official new music from the original line-up of the brothers is great news and a must have. This album does not disappoint. Highlights include You Don't Love, Hoochie Coochie Man, and Whipping Post. Buy it and join in on the Nectar Fest!!!
