^Fully agree. ATWAS is the only one of their live albums I've heard (and I've heard none of the most recent ones!) which has an 'event' feel, and the only one I've heard which really adds anything substantial to their overall legacy. It features almost every strong track on their first four albums too.
Agreed on the comparison with Yesshows here...neither album flows especially well as a listening experience. I still like this one but it would have worked better without the fades (and with 'Limelight', to be a near-definitive summary of this particular period).
That Sectors version looks grim. I seem to recall some fans don't like the 1997 CDs either but those are the only ones I've ever had and I could never be bothered tracking down any others.
