Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: the worst ABB line up ever provide the only official video Comment: If you've never seen the Allman Brothers Band live this might be an interesting video. If you have seen them live, treasure that moment and don't let this video spoil it for you. This is not an early Allman Brother performance, with Duane & Berry. Nor is it one of the second incarnation of the ABB which featured Chuck Leavell as an additional keyboards player. It certainly isn't ABB which features Warren Haynes. This video captures the ABB at it's most uninspired; that brief period in the late 70's after Chuck Leavell left and before the ABB took a ten year sabbatical. The band had just been enhanced with soem musicians from the Dickey Betts Band, this is the period and line up that gave us the Enlightened Rogues and Reach For The Sky albums. Still... this is as good a band as you're ever gonna find on an official video (there is no other official video). This video contains two partial concerts, and some backstage footage. It is the backstage footage that makes this video worth every penny. You get an acoustic solo performance by Greg of "Come and Go Blues" and a hotel room jam session with Dickey Betts including some very nice Djingo Reinhardesque laidback country jazz. These scenes are so intimate they more than make up for the uninspired performances that surround them. More Reviews
