CD ReviewsGet the double CD / Avoid the single CDs KEVIN C. DELAHANTY | Newburyport, MA United States | 09/04/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "My goodness, but what a difference. I have both versions of this release: the original separate CDs & the re-mastered double CD. The sound of the re-mastered vesion is so far superior that it made me question whether this was the same concert. If you're questioning your need to replace your earlier CDs (or LPs) rest assured, it is worth the expense. I've purchased other NEKTAR re-issues, only to be disappointed. This release is exhilarating!" A couterweight to other opinions... eric_the_redder | Los Angeles | 05/02/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Sorry, I have to contradict the below reviewer. I've heard this in houses, cars, and boomboxes and the sound is NOT awful. It's not the cleanest live recording I've ever heard, but nothing from that period is. Yes, the band perspective is somewhat distant and the (I think small) performance space has a certain kind of echo. But the band are quite energetic, and especially "King of Twilight" really hits a groove. The disc would be good if that were the only decent song, but the others are good as well." Not for the faint of heart.... D. Cooper | Los Angeles,CA USAvalencia, ca. USA | 12/08/2001 (4 out of 5 stars) "I would rate this album 5 stars if it weren't for the recording.
As I remember, this was recorded with an experimental process intended to give a 3d effect (the artificial head sound technique). Yes the sound isn't good...but that doesn't take away from the fact that this is an incredible performance. Layered with subtle guitar textures to extremely violent guitar solos... I grew up on this album and lost some of my hearing on this. I feel sorry for the fellow who gave up on this...it takes a bit of extra work to get past the sound....but its worth it. Live at the Roundhouse is for you people who want the better sound(and a more calm performance)." |
