Rating metrics: Help Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)

This album is rated in the top 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.2/100, a mean average of 77.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

El primer gran concierto benéfico (en realidad fueron dos) y, en mi opinión, el mejor de todos.

This record is a milestone in music. A wonderful cast of musicians it sometimes gets a bit confusing. Worth a listen if only for the Dylan set.

Epic as a event and project. The music isn't quite on par, but far better than other live albums. Great ensemble.

Great live tracks of George's stuff especially Here Comes the Sun. Clapton & Ringo are on this as well. But what makes this album great is the Bob Dylan appearance and his tracks on the second half. One of my absolute favorite live albums and highly underrated.
