How good is this? The complete Derby gig from 75 when the band was touring behind the Fighting album. (The first vinyl album I ever bought having finally moved on from those dreadful cassettes). This set features five songs from Fighting and even gives us the sound check for good measure. Live and Dangerous has always been the definitive live Lizzy album and one of the all time great 70's double live albums amongst a cast of many contenders for that title. I personally consider this recording, whilst not eclipsing that gem, certainly well worth the price of admission. It has the obvious advantage of sounding fresher than L&D after thirty odd years. There is little doubt that this recording finds a less polished outfit than at the time of L&D, and the performance sounds much more intimate and generally "smaller". But this in no way detracts from the quality of the playing or the reproduction of it. The cover art is excellent with many photos but my only gripe is the digipak style of the cover. I have never been a fan of the digipak which I find ungainly. This one features a hard cardboard inner sleeve similar to the old vinyl days. It is tricky to get the disc out and I believe there is too great a risk of scratching to justify it over the regular hard plastic case. However this is a minor complaint when viewed in the context of the overall product and the size of the booklet lends itself nicely to a standard jewel case as replacement. This album will surely appeal to the appreciator of the great 70's guitar bands in general, and live renditions of them in particular. In answer to the original question how good is this?.......for Lizzy fans, in 2008, I reckon it does not get much better,
