Was it worth it? I really don't know. A group that publishes two studio releases has two live releases? I think it is too much.

If we consider that some tracks that appear here were also on Live in America, like "My New World," surely I have to answer that it isn't necessary to record this CD. Most of all, because of its length: 140 minutes; and you have to listen to the same songs as always. In fact, the other tracks also haven't any particular variation, if we don't consider "Suite Charlotte Pike," which lasts more than thirty minutes.

This piece is a medley of many songs taken from the Beatles album Abbey Road. Songs like "Carry That Weight," or "You Never Give Me Your Money" or "Mean Mr. Mustard" or "She Came In Through the Bathroom Window" are performed in this section of the album and it's the most valuable part of this double CD. For the rest, it's the same old story?
