"It is hard for me not to give this cd 5 stars, since I am a BIG fan of all Buffett music. I have found, however, after repeated listening, that the sound quality (especially the frequent drop-outs of Jimmy's voice) is quite distracting and keeps me from really enjoying the CD. NOW, the sound quality IS A pretty true representation of a live Buffett concert..but it still is distracting. If you like Buffett's live stuff I would be quicker to recommend the new MiniMatinee DVD or the TUESDAYS, THURSDAYS, SATURDAYS CD. I planned on buying the Auburn Cd, but will pass after hearing Vegas."
The Gaps

"I too purchased "live in Vegas" and was disappointed with the quality. I have Mansfield and Auburn which are perfect. My first copy of Vegas had parts on the first disc that would drop out. There were however, no gaps between the songs. I went to exchange my first copy and was annoyed to hear the pauses between the songs. I thought that this disc was messed up too so I returned it for a third copy and it too has gaps between the songs. I also noticed that the recording level on the two vegas sets were lower than my set with the drop outs during the songs. I guess I will just have to settle."
I love his live stuff!

"Okay, I want to start off by saying that I did not give this album 4 stars because of performance, it's because of the disc itself. There is absolutely no problem with this performance. It was obviously an amazing crowd. His choice of songs was almost perfect, too. My only problem with it is this disc doesn't combine the tracks together like most live albums, they have a gap which takes the fun out of it being a live album. Also, if you're like me, you like to listen to live albums pretty loud but this one has a volume ceiling on it. I just can't seem to get it as loud as I can other live albums."

"The audio on both CD's is very low, and yes I have the volume
turned all the way up. I am a JB fan and very disappointed in
"Live in Las Vegas""
Folks, this is what live CDs sound like!

"Okay, needed to chime in - some folks complaining about quality of recording but it's actually quite good for a live recording. People need to remember that most "live" concert CDs are actually bits and pieces from different shows across a whole tour. Sort of a live "best of."This show is exactly what it promises - a full Buffett concert from six weeks ago. The same stuff he streams for free on Radio Margaritaville. Does every Buffett fan need to own it? No, but if you love live buffett and want to hear some songs he hasn't played in a while, check it out."
