The solo goes on too long. Too much hammering the same phrases for me. It's nicely played but way too much time for too few ideas.
Also, I really missed that fantastic counterpoint guitar thing at the end.
But, I'm a fan of them & Dicky so I'm picking nits.

Experience The Allman Brothers Band performing their Southern rock classic “Ramblin’ Man” live at Hofstra University in 1972 — a rare glimpse into the band’s early evolution of what would become one of their biggest hits. Written and sung by guitarist Dickey Betts, this performance captures the band’s signature blend of blues, country, and improvisational rock just before the track’s official release on Brothers and Sisters in 1973.

I didn't notice a date on the Winterland performance.
It makes sense.
