A different take on some of his greatest hits

"I was always a little curious about those "Abbey Road Sessions" that produced the live versions of "Lord of the Dance" and "The Walk" that appeared on the Greatest collection album back in 1997. This latest CD includes both of those tracks as well as recordings of "More to This Life", "For the Sake of the Call" and "Treasure of You". It's all good stuff, with a completely different kind of energy than the original versions of these songs. I especially like this version of "Treasure of You"; you can just hear how much fun they were having making the record.
I think my only complaint, and it's a mild one, is that the combination is a little pricey considering that there are only five tracks on the CD (and two of those were previously released). The package does include a DVD that features an hour-long documentary and some other interesting things, but I would love to have heard some more of the live music tracks (if there were any others from that session)."
