DEEP: Recording quality is consistently good throughout the four shows. In my estimation, the recording seems to improve with each listen - the vocals, most importantly, are upfront and full of the rasp, roar and tender touches that need to be heard to fully appreciate Bob's singing. The instrumentation is well balanced and clearly defined. A real treat to listen to - warm, smooth and cozy with not a hint of harshness. Mention must be made of the first class packaging - the front cover pic of the whole band on stage is brilliant and graphics are top notch. Other pics of Times Square with Bob on the big screen and the New York City skyline with the Brooklyn Bridge in the foreground add a touch more class to an already top-notch release.
