Geetarz Comments:

Thanks to the folks at ZigZag, a great chronicle of the Dominos’
live shows, previously closely held only by a few traders. Quality
is average to fair to poor, as with many audience recordings from
the era, but the performances and historical importance of the shows
outshines any limitations of the actual recordings.

This is a a fascinating document of the beginning and an end of an
essential musical era, and the selection of sources provides a panorama
of how D&D’s live performances evolved over the short life of the band.
Many of the base sources are available separately, ZigZag has done a
little remastering and cleaning work, but nothing heavy handed that
detracts from the music, and in the end it’s a matter of personal
choice which source you prefer. Overall, a nice, well thought out
and packaged box set – recommended.
