TheEmu For as little as is on this recording, it's pretty interesting and fun. I liked the Skin It Back jam, and BBFCFM was typically hilarious. When they get to the final chorus, Mike literally screams "THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO SING ALONG!!! I CAN'T EVEN HEAR YOU!!!" We all know about the Sanity and Icculus (one of the great all-time Icculuses). I also love the fact that Trey asks the crowd "Do you want to hear a stupid song, or--" and is cut off by the cheers for a stupid song. Oh, I forgot the Harpua, as well, which substitutes Paul for Jimmy and throws in a crawfish along with the goldfish. OK, so maybe I'm just a sucker for these old-time antics, but I gotta go 4 stars, here. If you don't like it, then THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO RATE ALONG!!!! I CAN'T EVEN SEE YOU RATING!!!!

cjfphan21 Audio quality on the spreadsheet is pretty good. It's too bad there's no first set. Skin it Back is executed well. Mike sounds so much younger (well, he is, but you know what I mean). Harpua is fun, but seems a little rough around the edges toward the beginning. BBFCFM and Camel Walk are both good. Sanity isn't by Jimmy Buffet...crazy guys, but it is f***ing awesome, top it off with some great "Good night" banter and you got yoself a stew baby! Well, not a stew, but a very funny set closer. If you've never heard this Sanity or Icculus, do it now!

THIS IS RED ROCKS!!! THIS IS THE EDGE!!!

I can only logically give this 4 stars.
