I just got this today. It looks awesome. The remaster of the Euro American cd takes up only half of disc 1. Lots of live stuff & demos. Just threw it in the cd player.

I've played about 1/3 so far. I have 1 complaint at this time, they used alternate versions of Easy Love & Shattered Dreams. I prefer the originals. On a 4 disc set, I would think they could have found room for both versions. I like the remastered sound of the actual E-A album. So far the live extras are sloppy, but we're obviously getting down to the bottom of the barrel & that should be expected. The all time best Spirit live album is a trio with RC, Cass & Larry Fuzzy Knight that's been released under 3 names; Live Spirit, Live At The Rainbow & a 3rd US LP issue that I can't remember (it might have been Spirit Live). There is also a live Spirit trio dvd that's a bit mediocre.

The going price of $23-$28 on Amazon is quite reasonable for a 4 cd import, my wholesale was around $22. I couldn't come close to meeting Amazon's price with a cost that high.
