Each show was filled with such incredible music and he had many many bands in for live sessions. I dont think you can order it via Amazon.com but <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000794FM/" rel="nofollow">this album</a> is one of the few compliations he made and is worth every penny.

Actually, come to think of it, I'm thinking about the Ministry Of Sound site, not Radio1 itself...
