Happy
to report this two disc set featuring the five man band does not
disappoint. I damn near rowed my water rower out of the front room and
into the street. Sonicallly Berry's bass sounds a little hot from the
show - sort of a wonky amp or a pinned needles affect. But this get's
sorted out after the first few songs and there he is in all his talent.
The show sounds great through my bookshelf Polks kudos to Jason
NeSmith. Gregg gets lost in the mix so often it's always nice to easily
hear him and his keyboard work.
Six months after Duane catapults
into the next realm the band is fierce. Ain't wasting time no more and
playing with determination and fire. I wasn't sure what to expect with
this release. How much is there of the legacy of the ABB in unreleased
material? Was this going to be a sourly sourced release? But I've
always loved Berry's playing and voice (more Hoochie Coochie like
numbers is what I would have said) and championed him over the air so I
jumped on the release. Happy new year indeed!
A real unsung
member of the band Berry comes to the fore and sounds drivingly
inventive. All five of the boys are thundering through this live
broadcast. Gregg sounds great and extends his solos, the freight train
and Jaimoe are enormous. And Dickey wasn't messing around. I mean
honestly this whole review could have been about Dickey's tenacity, and
melody.
Thanks to the team of Bert, Kirk, John and Bill for getting this out to the public.
Long live the Allman Brothers Band.
