Summary: Not the Best, but Worthwhile
Comment: A Dave Matthews Live album, not really a fresh idea. However, a performance tape is still the best way to enjoy the band (except for "Crash" in my opinion).
As with most DMB in concert recordings, there are some items that have been done far better elsewhere.
As with most DMB in concert recordings, too, there are a few gems that make the purchase a delight. Here, "The Learning Tree" is worth the price, and the teaming of Matthews and Greg Allman on "Melissa" adds icing to the torte.
I much prefer the Central Park Concert album, but this was still worth adding to my collection.

Summary: Live Dave Matthews
Comment: The Dave Matthews Band sounds great live and this recording of their concert fortifies that. Even though I wasn't able to attend the concert this CD makes up for it by far. If you like DMB then this CD will not disappoint.

Summary: Still the best
Comment: Dave Matthews never ceases to amaze, no matter how many times you hear a song its never the same, a master of variation and versatility. He has become an institution but has not been tainted by the commercial and financial pressures of Superstars.
This DVD epitomizes the essence of the band and again proves that DMB are one of the best live acts in the world.
A nice touching moment when Greg Allman is brought on for a duet with Dave.
An excellent DVD worthy of a place in anyones collection.

Summary: AWESOME
Comment: You hear a lot of sounds never before played on an album they have released. I was at this concert and was blown away as I should be. The sound on the disc is good but not the best. Central Park had a better richness to it. Don't really know why but thats coming from a very picky person. Overall it is a wonderful album. Sweet Melissa with Gregg Allman and Dave Matthews Band is an instant classic also.

Summary: AWESOME,AWESOME,AWSOME!!!
Comment: I'm not sure exactly how the sound quality turned out since I don't own the album yet (buying it now), but this was truly an awesome show. This show was a "green" show that took place in Atlanta, Georgia to promote environmental awareness (there was absolutely NO parking provided... public transportation was encouraged), and was set in Piedmont Park. Unfortunately, what's not included in the recording is the Allman Brothers set that was played before DMB went on. But at least the cover of "Melissa" featuring Greg Allman and the version of "What Would You Say?" featuring Warren Haynes with his fantastic guitar work are included. I must say this was one of the best shows I've ever been to, and I'm so glad they decided to record and release it. There was definately a nostalgic feel for the older crowd (and some of us youngsters who grew up listening to classic rock with their parents) getting to see the Allman Brothers play, which was cool because they used to play in Piedmont Park for free when they were just getting started. Also, Dave Matthews grew up in Marietta, Ga (a suburb of Atlanta), so I'm sure he felt right at home. Great show, awesome bands... wonderful experience.
