Geetarz Comments:

A nice boxet that combines many of the finest soundboard performances from the 1997 "Legends" tour of jazz festivals. One amusing minor observation, is that Mid Valley, known for their quality, titled this set "Flawless". However, this set is *not* flawless in terms of quality. The Montreux, Switzerland recording suffers from the same few small dropouts in the source also found in the "Gods Meeting" bootleg. These dropouts are absent on Zig Zag's Monotheistic Stages release. Still, a worthy part of any collection ... even if it's only "Mostly Flawless" !
