Got this CD in our local HMV yesterday....to tide me over until the vinyl Winterland comes along...
Some important observations: This is supposed to be an expanded edition of the original which has long been unavailable and makes it's appearance on CD for the first time. I counted three out of the five extras claimed on the cover sticker. But, wait....on perusing the notes I discover that Little Wing and Voodoo Chile were incorrectly listed on the original release as coming from the San Diego Arena! They were actually from the Albert Hall!?!! So now this release has Voodoo Chile from San Diego as originally intended and Little Wing from the Winterland nights. It goes without saying that this indeed is a mandatory purchase.....

Anyways on the TT this afternoon:
LOL All is forgiven Fran :-) But the Winterland box set is so good it reminds me of the first time I got the Concerts :-) A definite mandatory purchase for any Jimi fan!
Dermot,
I bought this on ebay years ago.It's just a copy of the 1992-93 release i think with a different cover.
That's why i bought the cd...as i thought it was a rare one.That's ebay for you!

Exactly! Anyway I'd say you can't wait for the new Floyd reissues :-) I'm a bit disappointed with the new logos on the covers. Have a look on the Amazon site....

Yes i'm looking foward alright.I'll pick up 3 or 4 next week an have a listen.
I'll end up buying them all anyway so i'll take my time with them.The logos ruin the covers alright...
I hope they can just peel off.

Do let us know what you think.....methinks this is going to be a very expensive run up to Christmas! To tell the truth I'm not really interested in the post "Meddle" stuff unless the sound is mind blowing :-)
