Customer Reviews:
Time has come today.......2007-03-18
Besides an echoey and shrill sound on these tracks, the passage of thirty years or so hasn't been all that kind to the performers. The audio insufficiencies might have been eliminated with better acoustics, but nothing can help the advance of years, short of a deep drink from the Fountain Of Youth.
The best in-concert performances are invariably contemporary with the original songs, not thirty years removed-- a fact that this album is testament to. Stick with the "sterile" and "rigid" originals. (includes eight-page booklet)
