From my experience, a live recording never truly captures the "being there" experience, rather it serves as a reminder (good or bad) of being there. There's been a number of releases of live shows both on CD and DVD by a number of artists (Meat included) where I can say "I was there" or I was at a show from that tourwhihc was pretty similar, and in all cases the recorded show merely acts a reminder. Personally I'd have preferred to see Gimme Shelter and/or Mercury Blues as the encore tracks on this upcoming CD, but I guess the time available on the CD and the possible quality of the audio recording are the factors here.
