"PAUL MCCARTNEY PROBABLY HAS AT LEAST A HALF A DOZEN LIVE CD'S BUT TO ME THIS IS THE BEST OF THEM ALL. I MYSLF HAVE 2 OTHER LIVE DISC'S BY HIM BUT THIS IS THE BEST. FIRST OF ALL NOTHING AGAINST USING KEYBOARDS FOR THE HORNS, BUT HERE YOU GET THE REAL THING. THIS ONE ALSO HAS MANY SONGS THAT PAUL HAS LONG SINCE RETIRED. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME HE DID SPIRITS OF ANCIENT EGYPT LIVE? THE SOUND OF THE DISC IS REALLY NOT THAT BAD SINCE THE ONE I HAVE HAS NOT BEEN REMASTERED. THE BASS MAY BE A LITTLE HEAVY AT TIMES BUT A BELIEVE MOST NON REMASTERED DISCS ARE THIS WAY. THE DISC RUNS FOR ALMOST 2 HOURS AND THEIR REALLY ISN'T A BAD SONG ON HERE. I TRY TO KEEP IN MIND PAUL WAS JUST ABOUT 33 WHEN THIS TOUR OCCURED. HE REALLY WAS JUST HITTING HIS PEAK AT THIS TIME SO HIS VOICE SOUNDS SO MUCH BETTER THAN TODAY. IF YOU LIKE PAUL'S NEWER LIVE MATERIAL, PICK UP THIS DISC AND GIVE IT A TRY. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED."

"This album is perhaps one of the best live rock albums of all time, capturing McCartney at his best. Two discs contain stellar material from start to finish, including some gems from the Beatle era, and even Denny Lane singing on the Moody Blues' hit "Go Now." The highlight of the album, though, is probably "Maybe I'm Amazed," by all accounts a performance that eclipses the studio version."
