A True Classic November 17, 2008
Every once in a while a magical moment is captured to be shared with everyone. This performance was one such occasion. I will not wax balefully about how good Duane Allman was because it wasn't just his show. The whole band was in the groove and this recording is a testimony to hard work and dedication to one's Craft.
What distinguished this band from others is that they ventured into a kind of Jazz/Rock fusion with "In Memory Of Elizabeth Read" at a time when Fusion was just beginning to get notice. It showed how truly talented the whole band was to be able to do this wonderful piece of music so well composed, and showed that instrumental music when done right is every bit as captivating as standard song forms.
Yes, the slide work Duane does here is on a par with pretty much nobody else because he was so good at it. Greg really shows his vocal and playing chops here, too. Great voicings. Dickey and the rest hold down their roles with consumate excellence in every song, whether soloing or comping behind whoever was soloing.
This is by far one of the best live recordings and we must be thankful to Bill Graham for having the insight to install the equivalent of a 16 track studio in the Fillmores East & West so these one of a kind performances could be captured. So a tip o' the hat to Bill Graham is needed here, too. Because without his foresight and decidedly progressive vision, we would have none of this to enjoy today.

This is what all bands desire..... A live performance where it all comes together,each player is at their best at the same time.Amazing to listen to. If you like southern rockin blues give this a listen to.Duane Allman plays a great slide guitar and dicky betts ripps through soaring instramental leads with the best of them.Berry Oakley is a bassist to be reconded with back then.Two drummers/percussionist - Butch trucks and Jai Johanny Johanson are incredable together.They blend drum beats and drum fills so well together few drummers can do that.And Last but not least Gregg Allman. He fills the void with thundering keyboard endings and tastful instramental solo's when he's not adding vocals with his soulful style of singing the blues.this is worth listening to by all means. Any way this is one of my favorites,maybe it will be yours too.

Just an unbelievable album for a couple of reasons. First of all, I think we can't lose track of the fact that 7-8 years earlier, DJ's in New York (not a small market) like Peter Tripp (guy went down with payola) and Murray the K were playing Freddy Cannon and Franki Valli. There was no southern rock 'n roll. There was barely rock 'n roll. So here we go with tremendous lyrics. Tremendous acoustics. Gritty vocals. And they're doing this in the face of "I want to hold your hand" and "Time is on my side."
I don't mean to denigrate the UK guys but wow, can you listen TODAY to "Statesboro Blues" and not still hyperventilate? How about "Whipping Post?"
Duane and Gregg were the real deal. And the second reason is that while Duane is missed the band, like all great bands, kept on moving. Dickie Betts was pretty good. Well OK, except for that Cher bit. What was that all about?
5 stars. Larry Scantlebury
We are not worthy ! October 28, 2005
Words fail me,. . . almost. This is one of the ballsiest, bluseiest, rockingest albums ever. Duane Allman was a guitar GOD. At this point in his life Gregg Allman was the grittiest white blues singer I had ever heard. These tracks are pure gold and this maybe the BEST live album ever!
Every cut is good but Stateboro Blues still blows me away and I had never heard anything like Whipping Post before or still to this day. This was the band at it's best and sadly it never came close again.
