thoughts on the cream live box recent release

anyone get this yet?? how is it?? I have it on order. Looking forward to listening.

I don't have it, but these Amazon reviews (scroll down) are mostly stellar, enough so that I may decide to fork up the $56. Huge Cream fan here.

Plenty of insight and information here: https://www.allaboutjazz.com/goodbye-tour-live-1968-cream-universal-music-group?width=768

After looking over the setlists for all four shows, I will think twice before spending $56 on this. They are nearly identical (maybe two songs change between shows, or the exact sequence changes). I've got Live Cream but need to get Live Cream II. Wish they were selling these four shows on Goodbye individually, I'd be a lot more likely to buy just one of them. One guy says in one of the links posted here that the L.A. show is the best of the four.

Amazon is selling Live Cream and Live Cream II bundled together for $19.99. I already own the first one but may buy this anyway, I assume it's a more varied setlist than the new Goodbye package. Had Live II on vinyl but that was so far back I can't even remember what was on it. Anyone have a track listing? Amazon does not.

The vinyl version of Live Cream Vol II has:
Side 1
Deserted Cities of the Heart
White Room
Politician
Tales of Brave Ulysses
Side 2
Sunshine of Your Love
Steppin' Out (Although my copy has this track mistakenly listed as Hideaway)
All of the above tracks are also included in the very good 4-CD box set, Those Were the Days.
