It is composed mostly of the artist's "greatest hits" performed in radically altered treatments from the originals, using the same musicians that backed Street-Legal, but the Budokan performances rely on a much larger band, and stronger use of brass and backup singers. In some respects the arrangements are more conventional than the original arrangements and the album was criticized for being so. At the same time that it was criticized for being too polished, it was criticized for being too sloppy. For many critics,[who?] the differences between the older and newer arrangements have become less important, and appreciation for the album has grown over time.
