Dixie Chicken (Deluxe Edition) (3LP)

The full unreleased live show on the third LP is the real prize here — the crowd noise and between-song chatter make it feel like you're in the room. Heavy gatefold and quiet, flat pressings too, no warp at all.

The remaster from the original tapes sounds so warm and clean compared to my old pressing. The unreleased live show on the third LP is the real surprise here, and the outtakes give the whole thing a looser, more relaxed feel.

The unreleased live show on the third LP is a nice surprise, though I wish the packaging was sturdier for what this costs. Outtakes are hit or miss, but the demos give the songs a rawer feel than the album versions.
