Phenomenal - one of my personal favorites from any year. Umphrey's has evolved through the years rather smashingly. Still, I miss certain nuances from particular periods in the band's life. Listen to this show, and you'll notice a certain depth to their sound not heard today. It's best heard than described, but they seemed to focus much more on adding texture to every note played, allowing for more empty space (i.e. patience), and focusing on the quality of a run of notes rather than speed (which has developed into a bad habit, imo). This is collaborative playing at its best. Oh, and Sugar Blue is fantastic.

Subject: Great Mirro show

This is one of the best shows I've heard from before the drummer switch (12/31/02). I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because it just seems like it could be a little better, y'know... but it's fantastic as is. Very nice variety, performances & sitins. Disc 3 is especially tasty.

With so many shows available for download, I only wrtie up about the ones I go back to again and again. This is one of those shows. I think this show has it all. Great sound, great set, great fun. This should be a automatic for anyone who likes UM, and also a good one for anyone wanting a little taste of it all.
