Critical reception

[edit]

In Glide Magazine Doug Collette wrote, "... instead of any misguided attempt to recreate the sound and power of the Allman Brothers Band, the performance is, like its predecessor [Uncle Sam's], a purposeful exercise in bringing evocative material to life, rendered by essentially the same lineup that had recorded the soon-to-be-released studio album Just Before the Bullets Fly... The overall pacing of this setlist is superb."[5]

In Rock & Blues Muse Hal Horowitz said, "This titular Washington, DC performance finds Gregg’s band in muscular shape; well rehearsed and with a taut, tight fire that keeps eleven of the dozen tunes within six or seven minute boundaries.... Not surprisingly Allman taps into the ABB catalog generously for lively, sometimes slightly rearranged covers of key tunes from their classic period. Eight selections fit that bill..."[6]
