Well, EIC - not enough older tracks to be the best musically, although what was played was very good and visually stunning. I was just disappointed that more older tracks like Zoolookologie (in particular the animated characters projections from PLD would have worked incredibly well), Equinoxe 5 and Revolutions for example weren't also played at these shows.
Concert For Tolerance - the tracks sounded live, but too flat in my opinion. Chronologie 6, Revolutions, Magnetic Fields 1, Oxygene 4, Rendez-Vous 4, even Equinoxe 7 (too much of a rather uninspired crashing drum rhythm that clashes with the piece) and Chronologie 4 all lacked something compared to other shows or versions. Having said that, Ethnicolor and Industrial Revolutions were sheer class
OIM - too much Oxygene 7-13 and "boom cha-cha disco hand claps" during Chrono4 and RV4!
12DOTS - C'est la Vie rather than Chronologie 4 after a tick-tock countdown - c'mon JMJ, not the most glorious start to the new Millennium!!!! And tracks like Oxygene 2 and Equinoxe 7 utterly destroyed by traditional Egyptian musicians who were playing some other tune! And Oxygene 4 - play the album version, stop it suddenly, get an Egyptian percussionist to tap away for a few seconds... then press "play" again...
Track listing wise, PLD was like a real "best of" show, playing his best and most enjoyable tracks with stunning new arrangements and imaginative linking or intro pieces that didn't sound wafty and wander aimlessy (like say CPLT intro to MF1 or EIC intro to MF2).
Maybe I'm being a tad unfair, but for me these other shows just seem a tad disappointing afterwards when compared to PLD!

Thanxs for letting us know of the possibilities about PLD recordings. 
I still have it somewhere
