It's always hard to review a music DVD. In the end it is not a movie, but a registration of some concert. No acting, no story lines. Just a band playing music. And that is where the Allman Brothers Band shines. Don't expect Shakira's, don't expect a over the top Robbie Williams look-a-like show. No, in fact the Allman's are just playing their music, standing almost still and playing really concentrated. Luckily, the camera-work is very nicely done, switching between the different members of the band on the right time. For example, when Trucks starts a solo, you are sure the camera will be on him. Besides this nice camera-work, this DVD isn't really attractive to look at. I watched it once and that basically enough.
The whole point of this DVD is the fact you should not watch it, but listen it. Of course, music is taste and taste is personal. But if you are into rock & blues you will LOVE this band. The music this band plays makes up for the shabby visual performance they deliver. It probably makes up even more. Perfectly recorded the guitars, percussion and vocals blow you of your chair. You basically wish you where there. Their technique is almost perfect, their timing is almost perfect and their sound is just a-w-e-s-o-m-e. I can recommend this DVD to everyone even just a bit interested in rock & blues. You will love it.
