It's quite a good live album, perfect amount of crowd noises where it's not too over the top but they are present. You really can't hate it as even if you don't like any of the Gilmour stuff it includes the entirety of The Dark Side of the Moon live. One of my favourite songs to see live is The Great Gig in the Sky because it's one thing to hear the song recorded from a studio but it's another thing for it to be a raw act, the performer certainly delivers. Live albums are very simple because it's a yes or no question of "Does this being live add to it?", this album answers yes. The performance of Wish You Were Here was great and that solo at the end of Comfortably Numb is insane. that's the kind of stuff you can only get live.

The CD gimmick of having the little red light is cool, I don't think I have ever got to experience it as it's long dead but it is a cool little gimmick, it does make it a bit harder to stack with other CDs due to the protrusion though.
