Leave A Scar- Live in North Carolina

Awesome video of a great bunch of wonderfully talented TRUE Red Blooded American guys from the Deep South who would have been one of the great treasured bands of Southern / Country rock had they been born early enough to be around in the Southern Rock heyday of the 70s. This is a fine quality produced and filmed (great audio too) music video. If you like Southern Rock or just plain good old American homegrown music you will love this video. After growing up and being lucky enough to experience and see "in concert" nearly every one of the rock bands now considered classic rock in the 70s, these guys are the ONLY new music I actually buy and support 100% I have put Blackberry Smoke CDs on or this DVD and just laid back and am instantly transported back to my late teens / early twenties as their music sounds like a mix of great old time country music with Allman Brothers, Marshal Tucker, Charlie Daniels and Atlanta Rhythm Section with some Lynyrd Skynyrd / Outlaws taste thrown in for good measure. Now this does NOT mean they are anything close to a cover band. These guys can write every damned good as they can play but from seeing them LIVE and listening to their music I know they had to grow up raised on Southern Rock. Absolute best newer band I have heard and seen since the 70s and they get better and better with time. GO SEE THEM AND SUPPORT THEM so they can keep our music alive and earn a living doing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great CD! I love this band!!

This is one of those bands that you probably won't hear if you don't search out bands that still play the type of music you fell in love with in the glory days of the original Lynyrd Skynyrd. They're my kind of people. They're long-haired, talented, good ole boys that know how to have a good time, and play damn good music. They defy category in that they have a definite country flavor, but they have an attitude (and lyrics), that country radio would never touch. To quote one of their songs "I'm a dying breed of rock'n'roll left ass up in a ditch". Whatever you choose to call it, I just call it great music. A lot of today's country is more rock than what used to be considered Southern Rock. I have no use for categories. I just know what I like. Blackberry Smoke is an excellent band, and even more importantly, they're an excellent live band. I like a wide range of music from Waylon Jennings to Megadeth, and my taste usually leans toward hard rock and metal, but I'm Southern born and bred and I'll never get tired of the likes of Skynyrd, Blackfoot, Marshall Tucker, The Allman Bros, Charlie Daniels, and so on, etc., etc. Thank God for Blackberry Smoke to carry the torch!

Great music

What more can I say about Blackberry Smoke? They are the best American Band I've heard in 30 years, and this new live set just confirms this fact. If you like the great tradition of the live album in the vein of Skynyrd's One More From the Road, KISS Alive! Frampton Comes Alive, Allman Bros at the Fillmore East, Humble Pie Performance, Deep Purple Made In Japan, Journey's Captured, Rush's Exit..Stage Left, Led Zeppelin Song Remains the Same, etc., well then this album is for you. No pop garbage, this is straight up sh*t kickin' Southern stompin' boogie rock n roll. The set is tight, featuring mostly songs from their last two CD's (little Piece of Dixie & The Whipporwill) but the Smoke stretch 'em out a little so it's worth getting. The sound is great, the vocals and guitars are bright in the mix and the album pacing is just right. If you're a fan of classic rock n roll do yourself a favor and pick this one up, you won't regret it. Spread the Smoke!

Blackberry Smoke's latest live double CD set is outstanding! I saw them at a recent show, and this CD set is the set list they played at the show I went to. Great band, and one to follow if you are an old Southern Rock fan like me. They have brought back that thunderous sound of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchett, Blackfoot, with a mix of Marshall Tucker, Outlaws, Allman Brothers all wrapped up in one band. I was wondering what happened to this sound for so many years. Yes, the other bands are playing for the most part, but there has been nothing NEW in this genre of music in years - until now. Great CD set, Great Band, outstanding price for the set - less than what is offered on their own web site. Some of their music is actually cheaper on their web site than on Amazon, so check out both sites to get the best price for their music!

Best front man, best band in 25 years.

Yeah, I'm a big Skynyrd fan...of the OLD Skynyrd led by Ronnie Van Zant of yore! While the current incarnation of "Lynyrd Skynyrd" has seemed to have gradually lost their oomph since their album "Twenty" in 1997, the mojo possessed by Ronnie, Allen, Steve and Gary (he is thankfully still with us) has definitely been passed on to BS (I know, great acronym...lol)!! These guys churn out the catchiest, baddest ass southern-fried rock songs (with a touch more country flavor) you have heard in 40 years, believe me! :-) These guys are riff masters as well as thoughtful, poetic songwriters in the spirit of RVZ! The sound quality, song selection and performances are all TOP NOTCH on this live CD, and I echo another reviewer in that these performances even seem to outdo the studio performances! One aspect that makes this obvious is the addition of keyboardist Brandon Still's ivory tickling on songs from BS's Little Piece of Dixie album, which was recorded before he joined the band. Great contributions to those fantastic songs that are still great even without the keyboards on the original album! :-) For those of you who thought good ol southern rock was dead, lift up your heads and rejoice...Blackberry Smoke is carrying the torch and doesn't look to be letting go of it (or letting it burn out) anytime soon!

It is one of the best modern R and B bands around today I strongly reccomend them.Worth the money in my view.

Die totale Überaschung, so erfrischend “vollmundig“ eines der besten, vor allem auch noch LIVE Alben der letzten Jahre !! Die Hülle läßt zwar etwas zu wünschen übrig, aber dafür ist der Inhalt der 2 CD's das volle Erlebnis.Ich bin durch Zufall auf die Band gestossen und da ich sowieso Konzerte “sammle“ bin ich sehr erfreut so etwas in meiner Sammlung zu haben. Sauberer voller Klang, eben so wie man sich ein Livealbum wünscht. Absolut jedem Liebhaber von Southern Rock (und natürlich allen anderen) zu empfehlen !!!!!!!

Je ne regrette pas l'achat de ce double CD et j'espère bien être à l'alhambra le 24 octobre pour voir les Blackberry Smoke pour l'unique concert en France de la tournée européenne du band.

Great concert...Charlie Starr should be world famous by now! These guys are very talented and put on a great show. Blackberry Smoke have instantly become one of my all time favorite bands...one listen is all it took. I've been buying every CD I can find since seeing them perform in concert on YouTube.

Excellent service and product
