Review (DEEP) : The finale of the MSG residency, in the razor sharp, crisp sound that we've come to expect from prior Cat releases. While not the best show, the sound is outstanding with all instruments ringing true and bubbling perfectly just under Bob's impeccable roar. What sets this one apart are the carefully selected and well-chosen bonus tracks. Further plaudits to the artwork, design and 2 booklets containing beautiful color pictures taken from the show. Gorgeous package.

Review (Bob's Boots) : This is a fantastic quality piece as far as the sound goes. The instruments are well mixed, and the vocals are crisp. Unfortunately, the final show of the MSG residency is not Dylan's best performance. What makes the package is actually the incredible filler material and the beautiful package. With two booklets, fantastic photos, and well thought out graphics and overall aesthetics, This becomes a very desirable package.
