"Sony Legacy has appended the original album by releasing a separate box set that includes three audio discs from those [same] gigs and a live DVD set divided by concert. These are newly issued tracks, containing no overlaps with the original album. Some song selections may be the same, but these are completely different performances ... Guy Massey's remix offers stellar sound. There is a lot more balance between horns and strings, more emphasis on piano and lead guitar, while bass and drums are set just behind Morrison's vocals. Compilation producer Andrew Sandoval took great care in assembling the contents. He provides enough variation in selection with some wonderfully contrasting performances of various tunes ... The live DVD contains nine selections from the Rainbow. While this was taped by the BBC, it is not a replica of the oft-bootlegged simulcast - it's shorter by three tracks, but it's superior in every other way ... An essential document for hardcore Morrison fans".
