Negative Positive
Title: Frequently mistaken about the basic facts of its subject.
Review: Upon inspection, the Taping Compendium frequently turns out to be wrong about the fundamental facts, and often these mistakes skew its judgments about the performances. For example, the Compendium makes no mention at all of the best show circulating from 1966, Fillmore Auditorium 11/19/66, and the author of the article on Fillmore West 8/19/70 evidentally had access only to a very poor copy of this tape, which he misreports as being available only in C quality, leading him to seriously underrate the show, one of the best of the year. Every time I've glanced at this volume in bookstores I've found similar flaws. I certainly would not waste my money on it.
