Album Review
Spanning four discs and nearly 100 tracks, Dreams is one of those rare box sets that tells a story while delivering the definitive word on its subject. Its success has a lot to do with its status as Polygram/Bill Levinson's sequel to the acclaimed hit Crossroads, which summarized Eric Clapton's winding career perfectly. They follow the same approach here, gathering pre-Allman's recordings from the clan, including cuts by the Allman Joys, selecting the hits from the classic years, and adding stray cuts by solo projects to the mix. It's a smart move and it results in a terrific box that truly offers the definitive word on one of the longest-running dramas in Southern rock. Yes, the Allmans reunited rather successfully after this box, so none of that material is here, but it's not missed — this is the story of the band.

There's something really important missing here!
by jwass22This is such a wonderful box set, except this "partial album" stuff is ridiculous. Whoever put this thing together left out the best track on the entire box set by far....You don't love me/Soul Serenade, live. It's incredible and even more incredible that it's been left out of this offering!
A necessary addition to your rock library.
by danalynetteThis box set chronicles the 'trip' that the Allman Bros. have been on and lends itself as an extremely accurate and worthy part of rock history. Though some will say that the set is more condensed than they would like, we must keep in mind that this is a band that has been cranking out music since 1961, when Gregg bought his first guitar. In 1965 they were touring as the "Allman Joys". There is more music out there than some bands will ever create. This is a history book of soul and blues with all the loving Allman touches. You can get Beacon bootlegs anywhere- this is a legendary compilation. -PS- the song: You Don't Love Me/Soul Serenade is the first track on Disc3 ! happy jammin'
Great box set
by BlueDDThe music holds up from the seventies, some good southern rock and blues. Also, negate the
one star rating above, it does contain "You don' love me /soul serenade".
