Summary and Other Comments: Great performances taken from various performances from 1969 to 1976 that are marred by just a C+ mix and mastering job. What essentially should have been a Live At Leeds sounding CD, isn't. The mixes feature sub par drum sound and sometimes an odd relationship between the vocal and other instrumental tracks. The mastering is listenable (no odd frequency ranges), but has "compression dull spots" throughout the music which are very noticeable (imagine a beautiful painting in a glass frame - but the glass has dirt spots on it, interfering with the view of the painting).
