Well, in general, I have to say, the sound is (of course) not that good as on the CDs or DVDs, but it's a good tapeing! The sound isn't that way a 110.000 people big open-air concert is like, but it's not overdriven, which is one of the most important thing by tapeing a show.
01 - Intro (a Bob Marley Song is played and the band goes on stage after three minutes)
02 - Here We Go (As we often red in interviews, Chad was very nervous, especially in the beginning of the show, so in Here We Go he plays a couple of strings wrong and forget to sing the first verse; after "here we go, leave it..." he directly starts with "well me and my...")
03 - Open Up (Chad did the first two lines wrong and Pete is singing in wrong pitch; at the end of the song, Chad is still a little bit wrong on his guitar)
04 - Time Served (Done well, Chad's solo isn't that great, but he's playing good. Now, the three guys have good voices together. After the song, Chad is speaking to the audience... "This is completely unbelieveble...")
05 - Cover This (After the first chorus, Chad is wrong with the text, you can feel his nervousness but at the end of the song, they all do great)
06 - Passerby (you know this from the All Points Bulletin CD / DVD - Phil Keaggy's unbelievable solo!)
07 - Riddle (you know this from the All Points Bulletin CD / DVD - done great!)
08 - Bang Bang (nice version with Saxophonist Craig Dreyer - and honored to Jack Gauthier - nice Saxophonsolo; Pete's solo was better in the Somerville Theatre; it's cool, that the last chorus is chanted by the crowd)
09 - Bulletholes (you know this from the All Points Bulletin CD / DVD - perfect!)
10 - Ride A Tear (you know this from the Sommerville Theatre, but this time, it's with Craig Dreyer PLUS Paul Tillotson and it seems, that it's wrong taped or it was wrong mixed on that day, because the piano is too loud, so that Paul interruptes Craig which sometimes sounds bad)
11 - Two Coins (you know this from the All Points Bulletin CD / DVD - great)
12 - Past The Falls (you know this from the All Points Bulletin CD / DVD - awesome)
13 - Mayday (Brad's solo is a little bit faulty, but nevertheless it's a good record)
14 - Fallin' (you know this from the All Points Bulletin CD / DVD - great)
15 - Flying Horses (Well first you hear that speech of Chad, which is on the All Points Bulletin CD / DVD before Elias: "We're going to our roots here for a sec' ... this one's going out to my family..." So that was cut! Brad is doing good on the harmonica, but on Gut the van, he's better. Sometimes Brad and Chad don't have the same speed...)
16 - Bridges (you know this from the All Points Bulletin CD / DVD - great)
17 - Prince of spades (you know this from the All Points Bulletin CD / DVD - great)
18 - Hey Hey (Brad beginns with: "We're gonna try something" Chad: "This is going back to our early days" - well the most time of the song, they forget the lyrics and also the chords are sometimes wrong, but the guys and also the audience are okay with it and it's kind of funny, but sometimes it really hurts :) At the end it gets a little bit better)
19 - Walk With You (It's a little bit short - they often played it for like nine minutes, so this is just four! Brads voice is not great, he could do it better)
20 - Headlights (a little desaster, Brads and Petes voice are not that good and also the guitar play is bad)
21 - Elias (we know this record allready from the DVD/CD but before they start playing Brad is telling the audience, that they thought about taking a break, but then realized, that they can't play more songs because they have something like a "deadline" - time when they have to put down the music. So they play...)
22 - Lightning (done well, the first guitar solo is a little bit bad, but then it goes on)
23 - Carry You (you know this from the All Points Bulletin CD / DVD - great)
24 - Even (before they start, Chad is saying, that they feel very honored, that so many people came. Even is played very well, but at the end it seems, that one of the microphones are killed - well it could be one of the micros of the band or of the taper)
25 - Mission (on the beginning, Pete is missing his voice inputs but that's not that bad)
26 - Bats In The Belfry (you know this from the All Points Bulletin CD / DVD - awesome)
27 - Out loud > Stir It Up > Out loud (you know this from the All Points Bulletin CD / DVD - awesome)
28 - Band Rap (you know this from the All Points Bulletin CD / DVD - awesome)
29 - The General (you know this from the All Points Bulletin CD / DVD - awesome, but Chad forgot the lyrics on the beginning of the second verse, but we all know this, don't we? :) )
30 - Thank You ("thank you dispatch" a solo by the audience)
