40: 40th Anniversary Show Live at the Beacon

I took the plunge in 2009 and ordered the Beacon Box set. After the long wait it arrived to its new home. I was blown away by this music. They had so many fantastic artist play with them. I played it and played it, never get tired of it. Now we have the DVD release, its great. If you are a ABB fan this is a no brainer. The band is really tight, great sound quality. Maybe in the future they will release the entire thing, that would be a monster release for sure. This delivers, must have for any fan.

I don’t do reviews what OK

This was an incredible show, captured with a good sound mix and good quality video. Stereo sound is great. Cannot say about 5.1, as I don't have the system. If you are a fan of the first two albums, this is the best! The intensity that I have heard from several of the 40th anniversary shows was very high, throughout the entire Beacon run. If you don't have CD's of the shows that Clapton was a guest, buy them from the Allman Brothers web site!

There's enough about the description of this to make you skeptical: when you read they're playing the first two albums, you might fear that it's merely a faithful recreation of what you heard 40 years ago. But that's not the case. On the prior Beacon DVD the band seemed to hew to the original solos too much, but that's not the case here. The years have made a difference in terms of the comfort with the material and the chemistry in the band. It's looser, less formal, and the performances here are clearly a product of THIS band, not the one from 1971. That means that the solos are different, the interludes are different, and it's a new experience. Revival not only builds in the snippets of "Joy To The World" you remember from Fillmore East, but it's a major springboard for variations. And Elizabeth Reed is stunning; a really great bass solo (with Derek Trucks looking on appreciatively as it happens) followed by the bass player sitting behind Butch's drum kit while Butch mans the tympani, and we get to see an interlude of four drummers going at once. I won't hesitate to review with two or three stars on Amazon. This one gets five: It's really splendid. Don't hesitate for a moment.

Stunning, amazing and in reality 'just another' stellar show by the band. Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes guitar work varies from blistering to sonic molasses and Gregg's voice shares the ache of a 1000 hopes lost, love won and run, and the blues run deep in every way. This show was to commemorate 40 years since Duane's passing and its a wonderful testament to the taken-too-soon slide master. If you have even a passing interest in the Allman Brothers make sure you get this show- the joy in it is palpable.

Awesome !!

Love the brothers

the Allman Brothers 40th anniversary show at the Beacon Theatre in New York City was obviously an excellent concert. Although I did not attend the concert personally, the dvd of the show was a very suitable substitute.Sound (the music) and the video were both top notch, and fans of the band and their southern rock style of music should be very happy with the purchase of this item .

Prima di acquistare il prodotto ho contattato il servizio clienti e l'operatrice mi ha detto che, anche se la dicitura riportava "NTSC regione 1, edizione Regno Unito" faceva testo il paese di provenienza, e quindi si trattava di un DVD regione 2 (Europa). Purtroppo si è rivelato un disco regione 1 (USA) e quindi inutilizzabile con i lettori europei. Sconsiglio l'acquisto, a meno che non si disponga di un lettore americano regione 1

In 2009 the Allmans Beacon run was a tribute to Duane Allman and all of the shows had guest appearances from artists associated with Duane.However on the 26th of March,the band sans guests played their first two albums in their entirety and this dvd is the result.Some people have complained about the picture quality and compressed audio,but to me the picture is crystal clear and I found the sound on 5.1 to be perfect with excellent guitar separation(On 2.0 stereo the sound is compressed and low so swich to 5.1 through the menu on your dvd). Performance wise this is a band at its improvisational peak and the versions here are far removed from those on Fillmore East.The instrumental skill is astonishing and Gregg is singing and playing as well as ever.One note of caution-this is a REGION 1 DVD so make sure you have an appropriate multi-region player.

C'est un super DVD. ATTENTION il n'est disponible qu'en format Zone 1 (USA-Canada) donc illisible sur un lecteur DVD européen (Zone 2) . J'ai donc spécialement investi dans un lecteur DVD "dézoné" pour 30€. Ce n'est pas "inaccessible" et il y a pléthore d'appareils sur Amazon. Je ne regrette en rien ce supplément budgétaire... On a affaire ici à un concert de haute volée Pour en revenir au DVD , la prestation d'ABB est conforme à ce que l'on attend de ce groupe unique en son genre. Il rend hommage à Duane Allman et commémore les 40 ans d'existence du groupe. C'est donc un témoignage musical incontournable d'un groupe qui s'est arrêté fin 2014 et dont il ne reste plus aujourd'hui (2021) que Jaimoe en tant que membre fondateur du groupe. Inexorable temps qui passe, donc pas d'hésitation à avoir ! L'enregistrement de mars 2009 au Beacon Theatre de New York est remarquable. Certes, ce n'est pas de la HD, mais le son est parfait et les caméras sont suffisamment nombreuses et bien placées pour regarder chacun des 7 musiciens exercer leur art. Le DVD vient parfaitement en complément de celui de mars 2003 toujours au Beacon Theatre. Ce sont les mêmes membres qu'en 2003, mais avec quelques rides et cheveux blancs en plus pour lles plus âgés d'entre eux. Pour les "gratteux", les gros plans sur les guitaristes (Warren Haynes et Derek Trucks) et leur instrument sont nombreux et suffisamment longs et précis. On en prend plein les yeux et les duels de guitare sont présents à chaque morceaux. Attention au bassiste, c'est un "extraterrestre" de la 4 cordes qui la métamorphose aussi en basse 6 cordes. (Epoustouflant d'aisance et de technique). Le reste de la rythmique n'est plus à présenter. C'est celle d'origine plus le percussioniste ... au top. La setlist fait la part belle aux standards du groupe les plus anciens comme les plus récents - et surtout parmi les meilleurs. Malheureusement, on ne peut pas tous les avoir sur un seul DVD, sinon on aurait un coffret digne d'une saison complète de série télé (eu égard à la longueur de certains morceaux longueur qui est aussi la marque de fabrique du groupe). Les amateurs de musique "pré-fabriquée" et calibrée par les radios passeront leur chemin, car ici place au fun, au plaisir, à la musique avec un grand 'M' sans jeu de scène ébouriffé, sans esbrouffe et sans paillette. De la musique faite par des musiciens, techniciens hors pairs et autant passionnés que leur auditoire ... ambiance rock sudiste, bluesy, jazzy et limite country, mais, peu importe, le résultat est unique: mélodie envoûtante, duos de guitare endiablés, soli en tout genre (guitare, clavier, basse et batterie), il y en a pour tous les goûts. Il va sans dire que le tout s'enchaîne parfaitement, tout est à sa place en place et est formidablement interprété. J'arrête . Il vaut mieux laisser place au DVD qu'à ma modeste prose... Bonne écoute!

やはり予想通り、素晴らしかったです。

Ótima qualidade de imagem. Muito boa qualidade de som. Definitivamente uma das bandas mais bem conceituadas com uma formação de músicos experimentados e bastante competentes. O único porém é a dinâmica um tanto auto indulgente do show.
