This is disc two of an excellent five-CD collection of songs from various venues. This is, IMO, the best collection out there before the official release of the Anthology series. Though nothing here is unique to this set (i.e., everything can also be found elsewhere), you'd have to own a lot to duplicate what's on here. Big Music has done a nice job in selecting tracks. If you're just staring to collect, this is a great place to start because it gives you a good survey of what's out there; you can find a venue you like and proceed from there. Couple the 5-CD Artifacts I set with the 5-CD Artifacts II set follow-up, and you've got a hell of a starter collection.
