HW: Complete '79

[David Bottomley]

Well, I've just received Complete Live '79 and, whilst it's great to have these tracks after all this time, I've got to admit to being mightily disappointed by the sound quality. I guess I was expecting something comparable with the original .....

As someone (sorry, can't remember who) pointed out earlier, this is clearly from a different gig to Live '79...apart from maybe Shot Down in the Night. Is it just me or is the Complete '79 version identical to the Live '79 (albeit a different mix & infinitely inferior sound quality)? The other tracks in common are clearly different versions, but SDitN seems too close to be a coincidence. If that's the case, one of the two CDs has to be a composite of (at least) 2 gigs. 

Whilst I'm on this subject, has anyone else noticed that the supposed single edit of Shot Down on the epocheclipse 3CD set isn't the single edit at all (which *can* be found on the Spectrum 'Silver Machine' comp)? It's a completely different, and new (to me), edit with longer intro & a shorter solo. Time to shed that anorak, I think... :-)
