Customer Reviews Awesome collection It brings me back to 1969 when I first saw him with Taste and at a bar called Humpin Hannahs in Milwaukee. I just recently found out about this collection. Listening to these CDs brings back the images of him on the stage and the memories of how much fun it was to see him play. I can see the sweat and the crowd standing and rocking out. The only negative of the collection is that, at least in my version, every single cd but Meeting With the G-Man is mislabeled. The CD stamped with Stage Struck has Irish Tour, Live in Europe had the contents of Stage Struck, Irish Tour has a the songs listed for Live in Europe. Or all the CDs have the wrong set list printed on the box. Other than the mislabeling - just great music. Great music, poor production execution That said I should give a heads up to people going to buy this box set. I buy cd's for the music not the presentation of the cd book, photos, and labels. First the music is great. The recordings are at a high level. No problem there. The problem is with the box set itself. For this price there should be a better cd book with more pictures giving information about the concerts and songs. Second 3/4 of the cd's are mislabeled. IOW's the cd label Live in Europe is on the Stage Struck cd. Third the cd sleeves are poorly conceived but you have to keep them because they have the song notes. Fourth on one cd the sleeve states 9 songs but there are actually 10. . Whets your appetite for the bootlegs Then I discovered the Rory bootlegs, and my opinion forever changed. Most Rory fans rave about his live performances, but for a long time I preferred his studio LPs. Like other reviewers of this product, I already owned 3 of the 4 CDs in this package, but I wanted to get the fantastic fourth CD to complete my collection of "authorized" releases. This package is great; however, if you're even a lukewarm Rory fan (and can there be such a thing?), you will find it worthwhile to search online for bootlegs of Rory's live performances. .
