@@Grandmaster-G It was and it only was the "soft"big Band and swing" that turned the kids off. Basically parents tending to not being able to tolerate the volume and higher impact songs they loved when young nerfing the sound to the point their kids could not stand it as they could not have sanded it when young. Plus of course when I was young 60's and 70's old stuff sound quality degraded we did not have the ability to restore like we do now.

They took the best elements of the much longer live Carnegie Hall version and squeezed them into two minutes of perfection. Better yet, you get to SEE these giants performing.
