I just flat out have to tell you that this is one of the best and any ABB fan must have this to experience the original sounds of this group. The "early sounds" are so tight. Makes me remember being there in Byron. The sound quality of the recording is quite good and brings back the jammin' sounds that made the Allman Brothers one of the ushers of Southern Rock. I favor the first day recording over the second, but both are superb. After some 33 years, the sounds are still classic and fresh. How is that? Because the Allman Brothers will remain one of the benchmark bands of rock. Favorite songs are Elizabeth Reed, Whipping Post, and Statesboro Blues. Whether the Brothers wrote it or re-arranged it, the sounds on the Festival album are on any real fan's "must have" list. Buy, I promise you, you will not be disappointed. Trust me!!
