Title: Great live playing destroyed by AWFUL sound quality
Product review: This is a 2-CD condensation of the 4-CD live retrospective "10 Anni Live -- 1971-1981". While the playing is strong, the recording sounds like a mediocre-quality bootleg. Recordings sometimes start or end in mid-song. Instruments (especially Mauro Pagani's violin) get lost in the mix. For some reason, there are 2-1/2 renditions of "Four Holes in the Ground." The most interesting material is the earliest (which, oddly, also has the best sonic quality), with covers of King Crimson's "21st Century Schizoid Man" and Jethro Tull's "My God." Fans of PFM's live improvs will find several long jams here.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
