Summary: Fantastic concert
Review: I got the soundtrack for this concert for Christmas a few years ago, and I was so impressed with the music that I later bought the actual video. Money well spent.

First of all, I think the reason I like this concert the best out of all the other live DMB releases is because of the musical era it is from. "Before These Crowded Streets" is by far my favorite of the DMB records, and for the most part the versions of songs from the album they play are great. My one complaint would be "Rapunzel": they slowed it down like hell, and it sounds fairly awkward. Most everything else is quite awesome, and among my favorite tracks are "Pantala Naga Pampa," "Two Step," "Don't Drink the Water," and their famous concert-ending version of Dyland's "All Along the Watchtower."

In terms of the DVD and filming, the quality of the concert is very good, and the cinematography is also satisfactory. Also, there are alternate camera views of certain songs available to choose from the menus.

The absolute best part about this concert is "Two Step." Every part of the 14-minute performance was just freaking amazing. The song starts off with Boyd strumming his violin along with Dave's guitar while Stephan Lessard plays some slide bass. Then, Dave opens with some alternate lyrics to the introduction, and then the group crashes into the main part of the song heard on their album "Crash." After the main song body is over, Butch Tayler plays a stunning 2-minute piano solo, which I thought was the most amazing part of the performance. Then, Dave starts playing some cool guitar lick while the rest of the band silences down for about a minute, and then the entire group begins a 2-minute crescendo that culminates in an jaw-dropping drum solo by Carter Beauford. Again, the band quiets down for about a minute, and then music suddenly triples in volume and they play the outro that is heard in the original recording. Best performance of a song EVER.
