Negative Positive
Title: Close to the real thing as you can get.
Review: As one of the lucky 20,000 attendees of the Friday show captured on this album, I can say with certainty that this set captures the feel of the band's live performance like no other. The sound clarity is crisp and accurate while still capturing the cheers and ambient noise of the crowd, giving it a sense of reality rare in a live concert CD. However, I highly recommend purchasing the full 6 disc set from the band's website as it includes the entire three day concert from beginning to end with all commentary and encores. Although, Dave's notorious 10 minute smoke breaks between songs appear to have been edited out (thank god). This is a set you can throw in the changer, light up sone "incense", close your eyes and really believe you're laying on the grass of the ampitheater overlooking the beautiful landscape and enjoying a world class live concert. Yes Dave, "Heaven's Ampitheater" it truly is.
