It certainly *IS* a good performance, and I agree that the recording
imperfections aren't a problem, but potential purchasers should beware
that the CD is very short. It's more of an extended live EP than a
true album length release.  I believe the price reflects this to some
extent.  Buy it by all means, I second Daniel's recommendation, but do
be aware of what you're buying.  I wouldn't want anyone to fail to get
into the music because they felt they'd been ripped off.
