Technology fosters a certain audiologic pedantry that discounts the practical difficulties of archival transfers.  Still, while a bit of the 2-track blues is understandable here, Plangent alchemy has affected significant sonic upgrades to existing sources.  Portland 74 is a well-known quantity, but the Truckin' Jam is a luminescent passage that defies contempt for even acute familiarity.  While my favourite GDTRFBs tend to grind like roughly upshifted semi gears in transition from the preceding track, this strong rendition ascends from NFA with deliberate fluidity; also, Keith's assertive - sometimes catalystic - play makes many first-set standards remarkable. 

Edit:  I can't imagine a more comprehensive, aesthetically pleasing release - from accompanying book cover and CD digipack art to the CD themselves and - of course - the stellar box, right down to the tactile overlay stencil design on the lid's underside.
