    4.0 out of 5 stars Great package, but consider the non-deluxe version for MUCH less, December 26, 2009

    When I saw this title, I knew I'd get it, but there are a few versions, so... which one? I opted for the deluxe Collector's Edition because I'm a big Petty fan, and I don't regret it, but after sifting through it, I think the non-deluxe version is a MUCH better value. That can be had for $20 or so, while the deluxe seems to be a minimum of $100 (on sale) or up to $150 at regular prices.

    The non-deluxe version gets you 4 cd's of great Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers live from 1980-2007 (disc 5 in the Deluxe Version gets you one older track recorded in 1978, but everything else in this set is 1980 or later). You can check the track-listing for details, so I won't drag it out here, but suffice to say there's plenty of room for the hits, and there are tons here, but thankfully there's also plenty of room for some more obscure Petty gems like "Nightwatchman", which is a fave of mine and opens the set, as well as covers he's done through the years like Willie Dixon's "I Just...

    You probably have to be a Tom Petty and Heartbreakers fanatic to spend the money on this. I am. However, there's more to the story. This band has consistently been terrific live, and the five CD's document how great they have been, from the late 70's all the way up to today. The sound quality of these concerts is amazing, even the earliest ones. There is also a blu ray disc that contains all the material on the five CD's, only in 96khz high resolution audio. Listening to it is like being in the studio as they played back the multi tracks from the concerts. There are also two DVD's, one a documentary that is probably only for fanatics, but the second, a full length capture of a 1978 New Years concert in Santa Monica, reminds you just how terrific these guys were, even back then. For me, this was the highlight of the set.

    For fans of Stan Lynch, the original drummer, you can see in this concert just how important he was to the bands signature sound and his propulsive... Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars Wow Stunning Audio Quality, July 22, 2010
    This review is from: The Live Anthology: Ultimate Collector's Edition Boxed Set (5 CDs + 1 Blu-ray + 2 DVDs + 1 LP) (Audio CD)
    The Bluray has 24 bit 96 KHz files and is stunning! The CD's are OK but the sound on the Bluray will blow you away. You also get a dozen extra tracks with the deluxe set and it had some of the best material on it - well worth the price.

    Reprise records should release a Bluray Live Anthology with a download for the stereo 24 bit 96 KHz file in FLAC. Please Please Reprise! Give us this great High Resolution sound in a FLAC format so we can play it iTunes and other players.
