For no apparent reason, the makers of the DVD left in almost four minutes of the crowd whistling for the encore before the band returns for “Free Bird.” It's a waste.
The bonus tracks are of the original line-up at the Hamburg Musikhalle on December 5, 1974 when the band was the opening act for Queen. Filmed in 16mm during the first year of Rockpalast, all that remains are three songs (“Workin’ For MCA,” “Free Bird,” and “Sweet Home Alabama,” all of which were in the ’96 set) that run almost 25 minutes. Although more than two decades older, the quality of the audio sounds better.
Skynyrd fans should enjoy the two hours, especially the bonus footage.
