Note- these are audience recordings

passo la parola a Marco per una prima analisi del contenuto, in passato presente in cd-r o bootlegs di non eccelsa qualità.

CD 1: Portland, Oregon - November 11th 1970
Disponibile già in ottimo suono nel vinile "One night in Portland".
Trasposto in CD nei seguenti titoli:
"One night in Portland"
"Storm over Portland" (primo dischetto)
"On the road again"
"Lightiningh strikes twice in Portland" (primo dischetto)
Non ho notato differenze sostanziali in questi CD per quanto concerne la resa sonora.

CD 2: Seattle, Washington - November 12th 1970
"The thrill goes on" (suono pessimo)
"The essence of energy" (suono nella media)

CD 3: Los Angeles, California - November 14th E/S
"Forum of Ingelwood" (suono nella media)
"Live in Los Angeles" (suono migliore rispetto al CD precedente)

CD4: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma - November 16th 1970
"Go cat go" (suono nella media)


Questo set era stato annunciato alla fine dello scorso anno ma è stato "partorito" solo dopo 5 mesi (qualcosa è andato storto ?).

Parere puramente personale, basato sull'esperienza, quindi prendetelo con le molle:
non mi aspetto nulla di che.
Solo il concerto di Oklahoma City sarebbe davvero da migliorare nel suono ma, se il pirata avesse trovato un nastro migliore di questo spettacolo, lo avrebbe senz'altro proposto singolarmente, e non all'interno di un costoso cofanetto.
Anche dal DVD allegato non mi aspetto nulla di che: i filmati sono senza dubbio copie di DVD pirata appena messi in commercio.

Quindi, a mio modesto parere...
Only for die-hard collectors...

Grazie marco, preciso come sempre.
