> Here's my impressions on a first listen to TV Guide:
> 
> Mmmm, not top notch quality.
> 
> No booklet. The inserts are fine, but obviously
> produced on a computer. A nice red and black TV Guide
> label on the discs.
> 
> The songs aren't "crystal clear" though maybe if you
> have an equalizer you probably could make it sound
> better. Though it's not bad. In fact I enjoyed
> listening to it very much.
> 
> I'd probably feel disappointed in it except I paid
> $24 for a 2 cd set, instead of $43 which is the
> normal price at the place I bought it. [which I
> refuse to name in this forum ;-) ] Though why it was
> priced like that I don't know.
> 
> The versions of the songs are mostly very enjoyable
> and it's a lot of stuff I don't have already. I'm
> very glad to get the 79 SNL songs. And the Melbourne
> songs from 1966 are awesome.

> All in all I'd buy it again, having heard it. But not
> for normal price. (Actually when I bought it I
> thought it was a compilation from the 98 tour because
> the packaging covered up the part that said it was
> from all the TV shows. When I saw Across the
> Borderline and I Believe In You, I immediately jumped
> to the conclusion that they were from the Oct and Nov
> shows. So I was a bit impulsive. Maybe I should have
> contemplated the track list more carefully. Since we
> all know he didn't play Hurricane and When You Gonna
> Wake Up anytime recently...)
> 
> On the other hand I got Eyes of the Idol the same day
> - which is what I was after anyway (best of 1996
> according to Moe) - and At the Globe Arena yesterday.
> And those are both wonderful and great sounding. So
> I'm comparing it with great stuff.

> (how good are any recordings _you_ made off your TV
> in 1975?)
> 
> As always - your mileage may vary.
