A great finish to a great band-type-thing

"I've been an Atom and his Package fan for years, and had the utter joy of seeing the man play live 3 times. This cd (and bonus dvd) are a recording of his final show, sound quality is absolutely wonderful, and it's a great piece of musical history, pretty much."

Sad to say...

"27 tracks and a concert DVD for under $15? It's hard to complain about that, but I will.



In writing this review, I should mention that I haven't even watched the DVD yet. I've actually just finished listening to the CD, and had to comment.



We all know that live performances are much more difficult to "mix", but whoever was on audio for this recording just did not know his job. The instrumentals weren't much of a problem, but the vocal recording was just terrible. It overpowered all the other elements and sounded like it was recorded on a My First Sony tape recorder. Oddly enough, the CD sounds worse than the samples on Amazon.



I gave it three stars because the music is brilliant, and I liked it when I've heard other recordings, but it lost two stars because of the sound quality (or lack thereof) on this CD.



In short, I would rather spend the $45+ to get all these songs on the various other albums."
