By 1978, southern rock was running out of steam. By 1980, most of these bands no longer existed or if they did, they no longer enjoyed the commercial success of the early to mid-70s. This live compilation of artists who recorded for the legendary Capricorn label serves as a celebration, of sorts, of the genre's most successful period. Some of the recordings date back to the early 1970s. The Allman Brothers Band's Statesboro Blues live performance at the Fillmore with Duane Allman is a different performance than the performance that appears on At Fillmore East. The inclusion of this track made this compilation very collectable among ABB fans for many years until the entire Fillmore East performances were released in 2014. And there are other rare cuts here including the only official live release from Sea Level, the band that Chuck Leavell of ABB started after the band's first breakup. Hotels, Motels and Road Shows is a fine time capsule of the 70s southern rock genre from one of the premier labels of the era. Too bad it's never been released on CD. Until now.
