yes, although I love Got Live If You Want It LP this album is troubled with bad mixes and patchwork like studio tracks with screaming overdubs to make them sound live (Fortune Teller and Loving You Too Long) and some tracks added from 1965 like Its Alright and Time Is On My Side so its not actually a "1966 Royal Albert Hall" show!
Paris 1967 would have been great. But I still regard the 1965 Got Live EP recordings as the best live document from the era. such great energy, and also musically really really great. in addition to the official Got Live EP tracks, some outtakes in official quality (!) are floating around on various bootlegs, like Time Is On My Side (much better sound than on the official Got Live Live LP, although its the same take!!!), Everybody Needs Somebody To Love (full version) and the best of them all a cooking live version of Down The Road Apiece. Makes me think that more recordings from the UK 1965 tour are still in the vaults and that with a little effort, a great great great 1965 live LONGPLAY CD could be created by ABKCO which would throw the Got Live LP from 1966 into the dust.
