After having, first the LP and then the tape, I welcomed the opportunity to get this, supposedly, extra special version of the concert. The CD gives a better idea of the actual concert, and the intro, by Goodman, sets the tone. However, of the extra tracks indicated, only one gives a band number missing from the tape, the remainder being a series of 'band intros', appearing at the end of the CD. My biggest disappointment is the quality of sound. Given the ability, these days, to bring old recordings up to a high level, no attempt has been made to improve the fidelity. Having said that, we now have a feeling of 'being there', which makes listening worthwhile. However, if I had realised how low grade the sound was, I would not have ordered it.
