Package Review:
In 2001, an unknown Japanese manufacturer re-released
several classic boot CDs using the old TMQ
logos. For this reason, they are referred to as "TMOQ
Japan". This 2 CD
set is packaged in two seperate cardboard slip cases, each with a different
black and white photo front sticker. A silver foil TMQ-2
logo sticker is on the back of each, and both discs are TMQ-2
logo printed CDs. This set is a copy of the
1998 release
Paint
The Daytime Black.

Show Review:
A little extra magic was woven into the three Inglewood shows. The
music was a little tighter, the vocal performances soar, and the soundboard
mix was meticulous. The reasons being: 1)
after 37 performances, the art of the show had been
honed to perfection. 2) Even though it was
only mid February, this was the final three concerts of the tour (and of
the year) 3) Probably the biggest reason that
all were in top form was that the final three shows were being recorded
for a possible live LP release.
This package contains a nearly complete performance, missing only the
opening 'Most Likely You Go Your Way' and The Band's 'The Shape I'm In'.
No loss for the latter, as it appears on the official release 'Before
The Flood'. However, this show's version of 'Most Likely You Go
Your Way' is not the official release version. It's unknown as to why it
would be left out of this 2 CD set. A good choice
for the evening show filler material is The Band's only performance of
'Endless Highway' and one of only four tour performances of 'Maggie's Farm'.
However, the boat was missed on releasing the most commonly performed 'Like
A Rolling Stone' and leaving off the only tour performance of 'Mr Tambourine
Man'.
This fantastic set becomes slightly redundant for the casual collector,
as it is close to the official release. The completeist and/or fan of the
'74 tour, however, will find a true gem in this incredible
sounboard recording.
