    The band's wild woolliness seems strangely AWOL. [Nov 2006, p.118]

    I love this band, but hate some of their production on their earlier albums (reverb is very much overdone). So I had to put up with production that didn't heighten good songs. Z was different though, and hit everything right. To hear great sounding, expanded versions of "Run Thru" "Lowdown" "Dancefloors" and "One Big Holiday" being torn up by this band is a pleasure. Just like the last Wilco record, this gives me a different aspect to songs I already knew and gives them greater depth and appreciation. great live album from the greatest live band out there. Expand

    Fantastic record, I'm not a huge fan, but this is one of the best live albums in the last 20 years.

    Listening to this album I feel I know how the little boy felt who allegedly said to Shoeless Joe Jackson, "Say It Ain't So, Joe." The problem with this live album by one of my favorite bands is that it feels, like, well, all the other crap live albums ever made, excluding possibly Peter Frampton's, Little Feat's, Live Bullet, Europe '72, Live at Leeds, How the West Was Won, Fillmore East, Folsom Prison, Live: Full House, or Kiss's first. There's just nothing new or exciting here. Heck, there isn't even anything old here as most of the songs are less than two-years-old from an album that hasn't had a chance to age. If it walks like a money grab and talks like a money grab, chances are good it's a money grab. But money does bad things to good rock-n-roll, especially to those bands long lost in the indie wilderness. Say it ain't okonokos. Expand
