Title: Lost In Translation
Review: I have this Allman Brothers Band performance in VHS format, and it is amazing. A really classic performance featuring Greg Allman, Dickey Betts, Warren Hayes, Allen Woody and the rest. What a major disappointment with this transer to DVD. While the DVD format gives great color and resolution, there is a deluge of unsavory editing. In the middle of key live performances, interviews are spliced in. (...)But the real travesty is the omission of material from the VHS version, and the rolling of credits while the band blazes on Whippin' Post. This great song is literally cut short in mid-performance. The potential for a great presentation in the DVD format is lost in the editing. The running time claimed is "approx. 90 minutes", while it actually is less than 60 minutes. Sloppy job Sony!!!
