The first show is captured in excellent stereo, a nice performance, very polished. The second show matches the performance, but sound quality is down a bit. It has the compressed quality of a radio broadcast. Still very enjoyable. Everything comes in a soft plastic CD wallet with no insert and simply sticker-liker labels on front and back. (J.K. / R.B.)
