This is disc one of an excellent five-CD survey of songs from various venues - a companion piece to Artifacts I, which itself has become a companion piece to the officially released Anthology series. This is, IMO, a very good collection, but doesn't quite live up to the standards of Artifacts I. 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 this with the 5-CD Artifacts I set and you've got a hell of a starter collection.
