- Better than the Great Woods 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.

- Dissapointed

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.

- not the best line up.....

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.

- Excellent Concert

True, this is not exactly the Duane era or the Warren era, but no true ABB fan could say this concert is not a great concert. As for Danny Toler (the "other guitarist"), any classic rock fan, jazz fan, country music fan, guitarist, or musician could spot him as a great guitarist. His performance at this concert was excellent, especially on Statesboro Blues and Whipping Post. Another addition to this band is the great solo keyboardist Mike Lawler, who's stay with the band was way too short. His solo's on this are great to listen to and even fun to watch. The sound quality is not excellent, but its still a 7 or an 8, about the same as what you'll hear on their instant live recordings. I'd definitely recommend this DVD, along with just about any concert of their's.

P.S.-As mentioned by others, keep away from the DVD of Great Wood, the producers thought it would be a good idea to ruin the DVD by overwriting some of the best songs with crappy interviews. Stick to the VHS.
