    The complete show would certainly fit on two CDs and sounds damned good. I’ve been listening to it this evening. I suspect that the culprit is laziness and a lack of proper research on behalf of the...

    The live recordings look like they are just the old Endless Dream bootleg, which isn’t even the complete show and has some songs out of order. There is a complete version of the concert on Forgotten...

    I am a huge Vai fan, but he seems like an awkward fit for that cool, precise “math guitar” approach that Fripp favored with 80s Crimson. He would be better in the “Belew” slot, but Belew is all ready...

    And the stupidest part IMHO is that their source for New Haven 1971 likely isn’t an analog one or even a high resolution digital one.

    Used CDs are often the best deal around, cheaper than downloads and you still get the physical media. For the new releases that I end up purchasing my CD to download ratio is about 50/50.

    I feel like we all ready got that with The Endless River and Metallic Spheres. IMHO Gilmour’s voice is such an appealing part of his arsenal that I wouldn’t especially want him to not sing.
