Although from the same run of shows captured by the "Rock Of Ages" album, "it’s the unedited soundboard mix of the New Year’s Eve set that makes Academy worth its price. The sound is beyond crisp; you can hear every one of Rick Danko’s bass lines and Garth Hudson’s fills. Both Levon Helm and Richard Manuel never sounded better, and their vocals are so strong and clear (the blending of Helm, Danko and Manuel on “The Rumor” is definitely a standout). The majority of these tunes were played throughout the run, but plugged in like this, it’s as if you’re on the stage with them, listening to a band that four albums in clearly knew they were on top of their game."
