 Blast from the past Dec 09, 2009
Charlie Daniels was the first concert I ever saw.
This vid was a great representation of the band back then.
These days Charlie Daniels is more known for his right wing jingoistic stuff and like Ted Nugent only secondarily as a musician.
This performance sort of takes me back and reminds me of the "Long Haired Country Boy" and what great instrumentalists he and his whole band was sort of before he kind of became the people he parodied in "Uneasy Rider"
On the long jams forgot how much his sound recalls the Allmans and I think this really shows a person who may only know the "Country" Charlie Daniels what an amazing instrumental group CDB was. His guitar and bass players especially shine and the camera really catches the interaction of the musicians.
Thanks for the memories!

I was disappointed with the quality of this DVD. They definitely jam on the video but the quality is not great at all. If you like Charlie Daniels and good foot stomping music, it may still be worth it.
 A must for southern rock fans!!! Feb 24, 2009
This is a great DVD of the classic "Volunteer Jam" with The Charlie Danials Band,The Marshall Tucker Band and others!!! I got ths for 1 dollar,yes 1 single dollar at the Dollar Tree,what a deal for this awesome DVD,I'm sure other people found this great deal too!!! A classic Southern Rock Film!!! Also includes a New Interview w/ Charlie Daniels! A+

The VHS tape is much shorter than 123 minutes Nov 29, 2008
I have had the VHS tape of this concert for many years (from the now defunct VIDEO CLASSICS company) and, while it is an excellent concert, on tape it only runs to 59 minutes with titles included.
I am actually in the middle of transferring it from VHS to DVD as the tape is a shockingly bad reproduction on lousy quality tape. I suspect that the aforementioned company may have used pirated copies back then (early eighties) as even the back of the cover shows the run time as 90 minutes. Then again, one has to remember that this copy which I have dates back to very beginnings of videotapes being available in Australia.
Thank God the music transcends such crap.
I actually only tracked it down on here when I went looking to find a recording date and never knew that it had been released on DVD until now.
Finances and time allowing (I am unwell) I will try to avail myself of a copy of the DVD as soon as possible. In the meantime.................

CDB, MARSHAL TUCKER BAND, & SOUTHERN ROCKERS! Oct 29, 2008
THE FIRST FULL LENGTH SOUTHERN ROCK MOTION PICTURE" ACCORDING TO THE DESCRIPTION ON THE COVER. THIS CONCERT DVD CONTAINS VINTAGE SOUTHERN ROCK FROM IT'S GLORY DAY'S, IT WAS FILMED AT CHARLIE'S VOLUNTEER JAM IN 1975. IT CONTAINS PERFORMANCES BY THE CHARLIE DANIELS BAND, THE MARSHAL TUCKER BAND (INCLUDING TOY AND TOMMY CALDWELL), JIMMY HALL FROM WET WILLIE, DICKEY BETTS AND CHUCK LEAVELL OF THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND AND DRU LOMBAR.
IT CONTAINS EXCELLENT COLLABORATIONS NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
It contains footage of Charlie riding his horse along with the music being performed.
It has a song set of 14 lengthly songs with a running time of approx.123 minutes. Highlights include: "Birmingham Blues", "Long Haired Country Boy", "No Place to go", "Texas", "The South's Gonna Do it Again", "orange blossom special", "Twenty four hour Blues" (THIS IS AN OUTSTANDING COLLABORATION WITH DOUG GRAY OF THE MARSHAL TUCKER BAND SINGING), "THE TRILL IS GONE" (ANOTHER OUTSTANDING COLLABORATION!), "JELLY BLUES" (VERY OUTSTANDING COLLABORATION - CONTAINS JIMMY HALL OF WET WILLIE SINGING THE BLUES "it's a mean old world when you try to live it all by yourself...why would my woman want a back door man when she has a good loving man like me"), and "MOUNTAIN DEW" (This contains a good-looking country woman banjo player).
It contains a bonus new interview with Charlie Daniels where he says he changed to words to "long haired country boy" from I get drunk in the mouring and I get stoned in the afternoon" to I get up in the mourning and I get down in the afternoon". This is a welcome change for me.
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT COLLABORATION CONCERT DVD OF SOUTHERN ROCK ALLSTARS IN THEIR PRIME. THE PERFOMANCES ARE SIMPLY SO OUTSTANDING THAT THEY DEFY WORDS TO DESCRIBE THEM. THIS IS A TRUE CLASSIC, AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!
