Just picked up this CD/DVD combo today and I'm very impressed. Neil's solo for this intimate show and it might be the best I've ever heard his voice. Great pickup for anyone who's a fan or looking to hear what Neil's all about.
“Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’” - Kurt Vonnegut

    This CD is absolutely AMAZING.

    I can't say enough about it.

    Anyone who still doesn't "get" Neil NEEDS to pick this up.

    OMFG.

    Incredible album! Definitely one of the best CDs of 2007 so far.
    "I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."

    -Tom Waits

    tremendous!

    very cool to hear the crowd shouting out requests and what not. definitely neil sounding his best, and it all sounds very intimate.

    i can't stop listening to "see the sky about to rain". my favourite version of that one that i have heard. :)

    NEIL!

    Agreed. He sounds great in this show. A great contrast with the hard rocking Live At Fillmore set with Crazy Horse.

    The man is a living legend.

    I agree. I bought it thinking it would be good, but it's so much better than that. I love it, especially on a rainy day like today.
