Known Faults: Several passages of pre-recorded introductions and commercially released music are removed.
I can not tell you how much every single one of you needs this show in your collection! Look at the list of performers above! Wow! All to pay tribute to Roy Orbison and raise money for the homeless in America. The sound is really good on this one, everything seems to come through pretty good. As with a lot of audience recordings the louder you play it, the more you hear! That's said a lot about audience recordings but when they are recorded right it's true.
To have Roger McGuinn, David Crosby and Chris Hillman reunite as The Byrds with special guest Bob Dylan is worth the download. B.B. King jamming "The Thrill Is Gone" with Al Kooper! Bonus! John Lee Hooker and Bonnie Raitt together on "I'm In The Mood". I could go on but I should not have to....
