Jaimoe Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 It's largely the same as the Beacon DVD. It's still worthy to buy. A better buy would be the recent 1970 Allman Brothers Live @ The Atlanta Pop Festival. This release is almost as good as Fillmore East, and it's just as important historically. Plus, no matter what, Derek and Warren ain't no Dickey and Duane. Hell, buy all three! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed on the Atlanta call,I have a three album (vinyl) set called The First Great Rock Festival Of The Seventies Has some smoking cuts of ABB from Atlanta. -Statesborough Blues -Whippin' Post -Stormy Monday Along with cuts from Isle of Wight. I saw the original Atlanta Pop Festival album not too long back in a used record shop,really should have grabbed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 You should have grabbed it Esau. It has some unreleased stuff on it too, that won't be on your long out-of-print album. The Atlanta Pop CD has some fine Allmans playing. Dickey is really " on " and Duane mostly shines - although he uses some repetetive licks and phrasings throughout, but most obvious on the Whipping Posts and Mountain Jams. However, Duane's slow blues solos on Stormy Monday are some of his finest ever recorded. Hey, there's a raw and powerful Dreams on this release too. It's worth the price of the CD, whether being new or used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 I still may be able to grab it,this tore doesn't get alot of traffic through it and its open at the owners whim...some weeks mon-fri others tues-thurs. I did some searching online for ot and found this: The Allman Brothers Band - Live At The Atlanta International Pop Festival Same album,same cover. Might have to journey on by there this week.

Jaimoe Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Good review. I would give it 4/5 stars. This album lies right between Ludlow Garage and Fillmore East in the band's development abd direction. No matter what, the new CD, out Tuesday, can never rank in importance to their past works. Still, I like this revamped incarnation of the ABB alot, and the new live album from the Beacon will be worth every penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 On an aside, I think Dreams is the Allmans' finest recording, and it is done justice on the Atlanta disc. Plus, it's a rare document of Duane doing this song " live ". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
