in terms of sound/recording quality, I wouldn't say that it blows Ummagumma away, they're comparable. It is however, in a class by itself amongst pre-'70 boot material.
As much as I appreciate & enjoy the live Ummagumma, there are at least a couple of boots that have comparable quality & possibly better performances of that material. There are no other recordings that give us a complete "Man & The Journey" set in the quality of the Amsterdam '69 definitive.
