There have never been so many bootlegs released as during the last couple of years. As many of the most successful bands of the Sixties and Seventies age beyond a point where they can exist as an viable entity, the void has been filled by a seemingly endless stream of bootleg CDs. Many of them have good quality, some even can be considered excellent. This, however, is not one of them.
Whilst there is a happy absence of crowd noise, as when the recording is made surreptitiously by an audience member, this was cited as an FM broadcast. Now that can, indeed, be of high quality but this sounds like it was simply recorded from the radio. There is a high level of hiss, numerous drop-outs and occasionally one (and sometimes both) channel muffles.
With the obvious audio misgivings, is this worth having? Well, just about. It is from the period of Breakfast In America, so that has a lot in its favour and the band do put on a good performance.
It's probably on Spotify, so any potential purchaser should try to listen beforehand.
One final note, the cover used is different to that which appears on all of the usual suspects who are offering this set for sale
