Customer Reviews of Wipe The Windows, Check The Oil, Dollar Gas
Darn good album I have to disagree with most of the reviews posted here. I have listened to quite a bit of ABB over the years and have managed to see them live about 10 times. The enjoy the song selection, there are a few here that I have not seen live on any other CD. Ramblin' Man is the best version I have ever heard, and Jessica is very good. The version of Come and Go Blues is the best I have ever heard (pay particular attention to the bass). In Memory of Elizabeth Reed (my favorite ABB song) is refreshing, although I prefer the heavy guitar versions. Don't Want You No More and It's Not My Cross To Bear are strong as well. The remaining tracks (Wasted Words, Southbound, Ain't Wastin' Time No More, and Can't Lose What You Never Had) are good and hard to find live elsewhere. This line up contains pianist Chuck Leavell and Bassist Lamar Williams. Leavell is a very accomplished musician and the piano adds a new dimension to the tunes. Although Lamar Williams has a more laid back sound than Berry Oakley, his playing fits in nicely with Dickey's guitar and Gregg's vocals (especially on Ramblin' Man and Come and Go Blues). All in all I think this is a very good album and I listen to it quite a bit. The new or casual fan will want to check out the Fillmore or Ludlow Garage (my favorite ABB album) first. For anyone who is more than a casual fan of ABB, this album is a must.
****½ - a great, underexposed live album
I know that you're supposed to put the Allman Brothers' Fillmore recordings above everything else as far as live albums are concerned, but I really like this one as well.
The sound on these mid-seventies tapings is excellent, and "Wipe The Windows, Check The Oil, Dollar Gas" provides a better representation of the songs off of "Brothers And Sisters" and "Win, Lose Or Draw" than most of the original studio versions. Chuck Leavell plays great piano, and Dickey Betts does a fine job as the sole guitarist on most of these tracks, playing searing slide guitar on "Wasted Words", and getting off some fine solos (and one or two less formidable ones as well).
This is as diverse a live album as the Allmans ever put together, spanning blues ("Can't Lose What You Never Had"), blues-rock ("Ain't Wastin' Time No More"), Southern rock ("Southbound"), and country-rock (a great rendition of "Ramblin' Man"), and no fan of the Allman Brothers Band should pass this one up.
Even Jaimoe said it was "a joke"
The title says it all. The performances range from pretty good to average. Definitely a more country feel. People that don't dig intensity (you know, the same people that thought Unplugged "Layla" was better than the original)will like this better than Fillmore East. Those people probably have a Kenny G album, too, so don't take them too seriously. It's not a bad album to own, just not a great one. I asked Jaimoe (one of the band's drummers) what he thought of it years back, and he said "it's a joke"
