NOTE: Not recommended.This set omits the closing song from each performance, in each case the encore "Not Fade Away." Complete versions of these performances can be found on the fan project ABCD.
DEEP: A dandy of a listen. Getting past the curious omissions, this one leaves a fine taste with some wonderful performances, particularly the first show. Package is dressed up to fine effect.
rmd: I'm getting great pleasure from this set. The entirely acoustic early show, coupled with the long acoustic section of the second show, makes for a delightfully extended acoustic listening experience. But it's the whole package - including the excellent sound quality - which just leaves me feeling better at the end than I did at the start.
