3 stars Nice double LP cover, but now lots of better Omega live CDs and DVDs are available. The sound is rather poor, though not dramatically bad. (CD version, included in 3CD box-set "Az Omega összes koncertfelvétele II'', does not sound much better than LP and one of the tracks, "Atlantis" - instrumental piece from László Benkö's solo album is omitted).

And, as other reviewer mentioned, there are too many mostly mediocre songs from the 80's instead of classics for jubilee concert. My favourites here are ''Kemény játék'' (pop but so catchy tune from Omega X), ''Nem tudom a neved'' and, of course, all time greatest hit ''Gyöngyhaju lány'', wonderful ballad closing, I guess, every Omega concert.

The album has its moments, but I think in general it has rather historical meaning. Video version of this show has also been released, with mono sound, on VHS quite a long time ago.

2023 UPDATE: In 2022, the year of Omega 60th annyversary, CD with remastered version saw the light of day. Soundwise it's a big improvement and I highly recommend this version.
