Rating metrics: Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)

This album is rated in the top 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.7/100, a mean average of 77.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.7.

My vote for the greatest live album in history. The banter is particularly great.

The songs are timeless but the sound engineer should have been sacked after this concert as it sounds like it was played under water

Yo no concuerdo con aquellos que dicen que este disco no es de lo mejor de Simon & Garfunkel en vivo, a mi parecer suenan espectacular ambos y es una gran presentación de su increible música.
Lo único que me hubiese gustado mas es que el disco tuviese más temas como For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her

I'm a fan of these guys... and well... I'll be honest I'm not impressed with this live record. Some of the greatest songs ever written and I feel like The Carpenters performed them with that late 70s/early 80s bullshit sound. The Boxer was just terrible.

Post Simon and Garfunkel Paul Simon stuff was probably the only fitting thing.
