I really like this album because of it's mood - it's obviously not like any other show due to it's unplugged nature. Also, many songs that I don't really give a lot of thought in the usual PJ bootlegs (songs like "Around the Bend," "Lowlight," "Thin Air," "Thumbing My Way," and "All or None" - they tend to bring the energy down in an intense PJ show) come off very, very, very, very well in this performance.
Best sounding live release ever. The acoustics are unreal.
