Title: the remaster might be TOO remastered
Review: Let me preface this by saying that this is one of the best live albums ever, and one of Elton's best works. Looking at it, you think, "Only 6 songs?!" This is FANTASTIC stuff and some of his best piano playing. HOWEVER!!! the remaster sounds odd to me. Wierd echoes (Get back! back back, Get back! back back, Get back to where you once belonged....) permeate the thing. I don't know. It doesn't sound right like the non-remaster did. They fooled with it too much. The liner notes are nice. Amoreena is a WONDERFUL song, but he messes up they lyrics, which is why I'm sure they left it off the album. So why put it back on? I'm sure Elton winces when he hears it. Answer: bonus track. THIS IS A MUST HAVE, but TRY to get the pre-remastered version and borrow your friend's copy of the liner notes...
