Notes and Comments:

Killer sound and a great performance. Because the sound is so good, you hear all the little details very well. I love it. Very powerful show.

Someone gave this CD a really good review, and I agree that the "Spectrum" tracks are good. However, I think everyone should now that the songs on that CD, from the Reading Rock Festival, are WAY fast. Definite speed problem there--sounds like a Chipmunk tribute to SRV!

As already recognised, the Reading material runs 8% to 10% fast. Also note that there is a glitch in Texas Flood that is not there on the 59 Fender Stratocaster. Another Midnight Beat error - what a shame.
