5.0 out of 5 stars It's still Gregg, Butch and Dickey!!
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2015

It may not be the original ABB, or the the last great incarnation that just retired last October, but watching Gregg, Dickey, and Butch do there thing along with the Toler boys is very entertaining. This was bar far their worst lineup, and Dickey for some idiot reason firing Jaimo, is a bit sad to watch, but they do a decent job despite their worst album, and aforemention lineup. One song, Never Knew How Much (I needed you), is over the top from that album they are on tour here, Brothers of The Road, which otherwise was their worst album. But a good video to have for any true Peach Head.

4.0 out of 5 stars Expanded Obove VHS Edition
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2021

The VHS version of the Allmans only includes the Capital Theater performance, which is a somewhat lackluster performance. The gem being a rehearsal version of Gregg performing an unaccompanied version of "Come and Go Blues. His guitar is tuned to an open 'G' and he messes up a little bit, but for guitar players this performance is worth the "price of admission" alone.

The DVD release includes footage from a show in Gainesville, FL, their "home turf" and the three original members of the band seem much more engaged. What prevents this from being a classic performance is the presence of the Toler brothers. While Dan Toler is accomplished at imitating Dickey Betts style, if he ever had an original idea on guitar, it doesn't show up here. His brother is a straight ahead rock drummer, who does not provide the polyrhythmic counterpoint to Butch Trucks, that Jai Johnny Johanson did in the band's previous lineups. Jaimoe , originally being a jazz drummer, provided a seemingly endless stream of original rhythmic ideas to the band's original lineup. These are sorely missing here.

So, the Allman Brothers Band during the early Epic years, when these concerts were filmed, were a pale imitation of the original group, so don't expect anything inspirational on this DVD. Absent Duane Allman, Jaimoe and Berry Oakley, it's left to Gregg and Dickey to shoulder the entire load. They put in workmanlike performances, but can't really seem the get off on their own playing.

Artistically, the band made a huge comeback when the Tolers were discarded and Jaimoe returned. The addition also of Warren Haynes and Marc Quinoes make "Live at Great Woods" more rewarding. However, this DVD is a accurate chronicle of the Band's performances in the late 70's and the none concert footage is certainly of interest for hard core Allman fans, like me. So, I give it four stars.

I feel bad for kind of trashing Dan and David Toler, who are both really accomplished players, but they just don't fit in what is meant to be a highly improvisational band.

4.0 out of 5 stars I WAS THERE: GAINESVILLE FLA 1982
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2002
Verified Purchase
I was at the Gainesville portion of the DVD (the first half) recorded at the University of Florida Bandshell in 1982. I was a senior at that school and you can see me after the last song at about 40:10. I am the guy with a turtleneck sweater (it is 1982!) holding a coat. I had hair then and even a small beard.
I remember the concert being filmed but did not think about it again until 20 years later when I saw the DVD and knew that I had been there. I can now show my wife and kids now who I was then. Anyway, no it is not ABB's best lineup (the Arista years), but it is a Florida band playing to a mostly rural Florida college and redneck crowd. We loved it and I think the band loved us back for it, and it shows in the great playing. The sound is very good given the era and location. It was a cold crisp afternoon and a great time was had by all. This DVD will not disappoint.

2.0 out of 5 stars Weakest lineup, get Great Woods VHS instead
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2003
I am an ABB fanatic and have been since 1969, Winters End Festival in Orlando. But I have to agree with the other reviewers that the Toler Brothers were a total embarassment and had no business up on the stage with these greats. You can see in this disc how uncomfortable they looked, for good reason. Sorry to have to say this. Get the Great Woods VHS instead, it's a 5+ (but avoid the butchered DVD version of Great Woods). And while you're at it, check out some of their newly available CDs: American University 12/23/70, and their most recent Hittin the Note.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bons concerts et "documents". Parfait en complément des 2 DVD Live au Beacon Theater 2003 et 2009.
Reviewed in France on May 17, 2021

Tout d'abord le son et les prises de vue sont parfaites pour "l'époque". Sauf erreur, je n'ai pas réussi à savoir la date exacte dans le DVD à laquelle les enregistrements ont été effectués. Compte tenu de l'effectif, il s'agit de la période 1980-1981. Jaimoe n'est pas là et les frères Toler occupent la 2nde batterie (David) et la 2nde guitare (Dave). Cela ne veut pas dire qu'il s'agit d'un "sous lineup". Au contraire, David Toler est bluffant de technique aux côtés de Dickey Betts.
Le DVD se compose de 3 parties : Live from Gainesville en plein air: petit festival à l'ambiance "barbecue à l'américaine". Les morceaux classiques s'enchainent rapidement. Dickey Betts "mène la danse", alors que l'état de fraîcheur de Gregg Allman ne semble pas lui permettre de s'exprimer comme à l'accoutumée . Heureusement, il assure correctement sa partie.
2nde partie "unplugged" façon 'répét' entre Dickey, Dave et Gregg en trio, duo ou seul...soit 5 morceaux plus intimistes (dont Melissa) enregistrés backstage.
Dernière partie- concert classique : Live from the Capitole Theater très correctement filmé
Conclusion: 3 moments distincts de cette période qui proposent un très bel échantillon de ce que le groupe jouait parfaitement à l'époque. Dickey Betts se positionne vraiment en leader sans altérer le dynamisme du groupe sur scène. Les morceaux semblent très courts comparativement à certains enregistrement sur CD > 10 minutes mais la performance est remarquable Le DVD n'est peut-être pas indispensable dans le sens où il ne reflète pas les meilleures périodes du groupe, mais les morceaux choisis, l'interprétation et la qualité visuelle et sonore sont réellement au rendez-vous. Bon produit. Excellent témoignage d'époque. Je recommande

みなさん、ご機嫌はいかがでしょうか？じっちゃしんです。さて、このDVDですが再結成オールマンの昼と夜の部ライブセット。ということで最近の再々結成以降のウォーレンへインズ、デレクトラック（瞬間参加のジャックピアソン、ジミーへリング）参加がおなじみでそちらのファンの方は見向きもしないでしょうが、これはいいよ～。なんといっても表題通り「カミソリフレーズ（ピッキングのキレ抜群）満載のキレッキレ、ディッキーベッツ先生！」が見られます！特に！昼の部、野外での一曲目ジェシカのプレーは曲のテンポも速いがディッキー先生のサイド含めのリードが、リードが！、シードが！！すんごいんです！なんか「！マーク」ばっかりで恥ずかしい限りですが、正常な精神状態で観ていられなくなるほどのプレー満載なのです。この、昼の部だけでも買う価値があります。相棒のダントーラーはリードソロはちょっとオールマンに合っているかは？ですが、よいサポートをしておりディッキー先生とはその後、グレイトサザーンでも相棒を務めております。わしはこのタイトルをVHS～レーザー～DVDと買い換え続けています。VHSなんか見すぎてテープが真っ白になって粉ふいちゃいました！でなわけで、ブルーレイがでれば間違いなく買うでしょう。そんな、グレイトな作品であります。では、最後におなじみの一句で締めたいと思います。「リスナーの耳をも切っちゃうディッキー節！」では、また！

演奏の内容など見るべきかと思います。
ツインドラム、オルガン・ピアノ（シンセも）ギター×２、ベースというバンド構成で、見られる映像は世の中、非常に少ない。
アレンジの方法やアドリブの様子など見るべきところが多いと感じました。
