I'm still waiting for my copy, which I ordered early last week.  However,
I can certainly attest to the difference between haitink in the studio and
Haitink live, judging by the 7th he gave at this year's Proms and (even
more) the 3rd form the 1995 Amsertdam Maherlerfeest.  Both special
performances.
