    As concert recordings go, this is one of the best.

    One hell of a live record.

    Rather than getting bogged down in concert-album fashion, Okonokos plays spanking new, almost re-studio recorded.

    Any live show will inevitably have crests and valleys, but besides these specific performances, Okonokos disappoints on a more general level: It too seldom sounds like an actual live album.

    Proves they can do just fine without the foggy-hollow reverb they've always used to make their meandering sound mysterious. [Oct 2006, p.139]

    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 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.
