The selling point for me was, yes, the live album but also fixing some of the faults with the last set of masters. Hearing this music in a brand new light is just too tempting to pass up. Unlike the bigger boxes I own--Gentle Giant, Hillage, soon to be Caravan--the focus for this box is on the new takes of the studio albums rather than mutliple live recordings some of which (if I'm being honest with myself) are spun once and shelved.
Of course, I can't wait to hear that Paris show, too! Live prime-era VdGG is the icing on the world.
