However it's mixed, produced played around with it comes off as a complete show with the exception of Cinema Show that features the wonderfully concise drumming of Bill Bruford. I mean it really stands a out. I just listened to my vinyl copy that I actually bought in October 1977. I remember because we skipped school to wait at the record store to open in the  morning. For some reason back then albums were always released on a Tuesday. This and the previous live album are a couple of the best live progrock albums from that glorious era.
As long as all of the audio components are mixed in the proper time relationships to each other, it has to sound like a complete show. however, how good or bad that "complete" show is has nothing to do with the recording process or mixing process. A good or bad performance cannot be enhanced or altered unless there is studio overdubbing done later on. And that's a discussion for another day.

What I meant was that the selection of tracks reflected that transition period. I think the recordings were taken from three shows in June 77 and the Bruford track was taken from a 1976 show on the Trick Of The Tail tour. It's like listening to an almost complete Genesis show from 1977 which is cool. I was able to see them on the ATTW3 tour so this was pretty close.
