I rented it from Netflix and have watched it twice.
I have to say 2 things about it: I am generally not a fan of a lot of his newer songs, and I don't really like when he gets 20 old hippies on stage to join him in a singalong.
BUT, this dvd was pretty good. most of the newer songs were the BETTER newer songs, and there was just a right mix of new and old songs. "Comes A Time", "I Am A Child", "Heart of Gold", "Harvest Moon", and "Needle and the Damage Done" are all on here.
the version of "The Old Laughing Lady" is not nearly as good as the "Unplugged" version (personally, that's the best version of this great song, imo).
there seems to be a lot less pretension and theatrics on this dvd as there were in the past, like in "Live Rust" and the god awful "Arc".
all in all, I'd probably give this dvd a "B".
