well it is an eye candy, i'll give you that... so probably wouldn't be that hard to re-watch it.
you know, when i first decided to check out Lindsey with and without FM, Soundstage and the very best of FM were 2 releases i bought. the very best b/c i figured it has a variety of mac stuff throughout the years so i can see whether i like them in general (not talking about PG mac which i knew i liked). Soundstage b/c i looked through different periods on youtube and concluded that era was when LB looked by far the best, so if i would't like what i'm hearing, at least it wouldn't be a complete waste of money and time b/c i could just enjoy what i'm seeing.
but you know how much i love GOS1 and some of the main songs from that bootleg are on Soundstage, and they didn't grab me there at all. while since the first time i heard GOS1 bootleg i thought that might be my favorite album anybody ever made. so obviously something is missing on Soundstage, and eye candy alone didn't do it for me.
actually the first complete LB release i heard was Bass recording on rhapsody, and many of those songs just sounded too dark to me when i first heard them. that's why i didn't buy UTS forever, b/c i thought i didn't like those songs, and was actually pleasantly surprised when i finally listened to the the whole album, although still not nearly my favorite album of his.
his solo live arrangements and recordings definitely improved since 2004 - Small Machine is great, arrangements are full and performance is inspired, plus there's amazing selection of SWS material.
