- Reviewing the 2008 edition, TheDataBank's conclusion: "...The original 2002 Purple Rush 1 was something of a landmark release [worthy of it's status as one of the best bootleg releases - ever] and stood the test of time very well, however as with all things, it's content needed an update as more complete/better quality recordings began to surface. This newly improved, updated version will hopefully be as impressive and important in 5 years time as the original 2002 release was. An excellent set."
