Editorial Reviews

Three CD set. Live At Piedmont Park took place on September 8th, 2007 in front of 50,000+ fans at the Meadow of Piedmont Park in Atlanta Georgia. DMB began this 'Green Concert' with the very apropos 'One Sweet World' followed by fan favorite 'Two Step'. DMB performed with absolute unrestrained energy at this benefit show which raised more than $1 million to aid in the 53 acre expansion of the historic park. This release has been remixed and recut since the original Peachtree TV broadcast. 20 tracks. 2007.

The sound quality of the recording of this show turned out fantastic!This was truly an awesome show. It was a "green" show that took place in Atlanta, Georgia to promote environmental awareness (there was absolutely NO parking provided... public transportation was encouraged), and was set in Piedmont Park. Unfortunately, what's not included in the recording is the Allman Brothers set that was played before DMB went on. But at least the cover of "Melissa" featuring Greg Allman and the version of "What Would You Say?" featuring Warren Haynes with his fantastic guitar work are included. I must say this was one of the best shows I've ever been to, and I'm so glad they decided to record and release it. There was definately a nostalgic feel for the older crowd (and some of us youngsters who grew up listening to classic rock with their parents) getting to see the Allman Brothers play, which was cool because they used to play in Piedmont Park for free when they were just getting started. Great show, awesome bands... wonderful experience.

You hear a lot of sounds never before played on an album they have released. I was at this concert and was blown away as I should be. The sound on the disc is good but not the best. Central Park had a better richness to it. Don't really know why but thats coming from a very picky person. Overall it is a wonderful album. Sweet Melissa with Gregg Allman and Dave Matthews Band is an instant classic also.

Dave Matthews never ceases to amaze, no matter how many times you hear a song its never the same, a master of variation and versatility. He has become an institution but has not been tainted by the commercial and financial pressures of Superstars.
This DVD epitomizes the essence of the band and again proves that DMB are one of the best live acts in the world.
A nice touching moment when Greg Allman is brought on for a duet with Dave.

An excellent DVD worthy of a place in anyones collection.
