Love this cd not only for the music but for the timeless message they have -- thinking especially about the song "Nature's Way". This song spoke about the dying bees and dying trees in the early 70s. It's a shame that nobody in the federal government thought to take a look at this back then.

Best of albums are always something of a crapshoot. Spirit crammed so much sheer talent & unbelievable songwriting into their first 4 albums that that distilling it into a single disk would have to be a thankless task. I bought it because it was remastered but when I listen to any of the songs I immediatly want to hear the songs before or after it on the original album and even remastered, I prefer the original vinyl albums. I use this cd mostly for listening to in the car rather than when I'm home & in the mood for some serious listening. If you're unfamiliar with their music then it's a fairly decent place to get your feet wet but if you're ready to jump in head first go for the whole albums, even Feedback & all the later Randy California/Ed Cassidy stuff. Your ears will thak you the rest of your life. This is classic music that stands the test of time with the best of them (which they are).

We all dug Spirit in the 60s but unfortunately they don't translate very well today. But, to hear "Fresh Garbage" again,was a treat

Got a Line on You, Nature's Way and a few others on this DVD are outstanding.
But I feel Spirit's music has not aged well. Their tunes that sounded great in the
70's (60's?) are today sounding pretty dated and poorly mastered. Song quality
ranges from "Rockin'" to "Yikes!". I think my old vinyl sounded a lot better..

A worthwhile trip back in time for those of us who enjoyed Spirit at the time,
but my impression is that they had trouble filling up a DVD with "Best Of"-quality
tunes. If you spend money on an old Turtles or Spanky and Our Gang DVD
instead you may be happier with the result. Just go to iTunes Music Store (or
whatever you use) and buy "Got A Line on Me" and "Nature's Way" individually.

I t hink its one the better 60s classic rock bands around for its time.
