Notes & Reviews

This is of course terrific, but the producers might just as well have spared us the next-day studio kludges of the original version.
- Brian A Skiff, 11/19/1999, USA

Full title is: At Newport 1956 Complete

Due to bad mike placement on stage, the original 'live' album was actually a studio re-creation; the actual live performance was never issued-until now. This 2-CD set contains the complete original album and the hour-plus concert. More than 100 minutes of new music, and the whole thing's in stereo for the first time!
