Fazit:

Hier lohnt sich der Kauf ausnahmslos. Auf dieser CD sind absolute Hightlight von Konzertaufnahmen, die es ansonsten nicht zu kaufen gibt. Greift zu, solange es diese CDs gibt. Kurioserweise habe ich die CDs sogar schon auf Trödelmärkten gesehen, aber schon lange nicht mehr in einem Laden. Haltet die Augen auf, insbesondere wg. dem unscheinbaren Cover,Ihr werdet es nicht bereuen.

Die Infos stammen übrigens von Bernhard Vogel - vielen Dank.
