DEEP: The sound on the Wembley tracks is harsh and tinny
with no bottom, the vocals are thin and the whole thing is a
disaster. The Wembley part of this set is a throwaway due to the
sound. The same cannot be said about the filler from Bournemouth
and Cardiff, the quality of which is truly outstanding. But the 3
Pope tracks carry a fair amount of hiss. Despite the beautiful
packaging with color photos from the gig, imaginative graphics and
a transcript of an interview as liner notes, this one is for
completists only. Its snazzy look belies the quality of most of the
content.
