Tracks 1 through 9, and 10 through 18 make reasonable cd splitting points.
Remarks: An enthusiastic audience, reflected in the crowd noise on the recording. House sound improved as the show progressed. imho, playback sounds better with a treble boost. Truly excellent show. How could Mr. Plant come close to the heights reached on the Raising Sand tour at Red Rocks 6/21/08? With this band, he did, and they truly created their own thing. This performance of Ramble On was one for the ages.
