<reviewbody>This is an absolutely great sounding / good selection of stuff that&#039;s going to get tons of playtime at home.   Has a very intimate sound, excellent imaging of the guitar and vocals.  Also has an appropriate amount of crowd noise.  No distortion or tinny-ness I hear in many of the live recordings (with the exception of Messiah03).</reviewbody>
<reviewtitle>I feel like sending Glen $10 just for this recording.</reviewtitle>

<reviewbody>The audio quality of this recording is simply awesome.  I have seen recordings archived here where the taper has said &quot;Do not convert to lossy format&quot; when the recording sounds like it&#039;s been done with a cheap internal boombox microphone.

If any recording deserves Flac, this is one.  If only all the recordings here were of this quality.

As for Glen&#039;s stuff, it&#039;s just awesome.  This was my first exposure to his music.  I&#039;ve heard some Toad stuff, but never heard him on his own.  If there were 6 stars, I would give them for the recording quality and the music itself.</reviewbody>
<reviewtitle>Quality...</reviewtitle>

<reviewbody>After seeing Glen with a friend in SF not long ago, I knew I had witnessed something awesome.  The chance to go back and re-experience the tone and feel of his show was great.  This sounds fantastic, and captures it all!</reviewbody>
<reviewtitle>Wow!</reviewtitle>

<reviewbody>I was at this show, but didn&#039;t realize anyone was taping it. The setlist is great, and the quality is probably the best of any Glen show I&#039;ve heard. I could have sworn he played Political Science at this show, though. Was it left off of the recording, or am I imagining things?</reviewbody>
<reviewtitle>Awesome show</reviewtitle>

<reviewbody>This is my favorite download off archive.org so far. the playability of this live set is amazing-- i cant stop listening to it. on last.fm it says ive listened to this album over 6 times. and i only got it 2 days ago. so if that says anything.... 
esp listen to #24 - mr. poppy  and #21 - windmills. 
Excellent audio quality. he goes off on some strange tangents about liberal political things that might make some people a little uncomfortable, but hte music is great. he really reacts to the audience- in one part he asks the audience parts of the lyrics and then he goes on and plays the song someone requested. very cool stuff. this is a must have!</reviewbody>
<reviewtitle>cant stop listening to this</reviewtitle>

<reviewbody>Not my normal download, but I&#039;ve liked &quot;Toad The Wet Sprocket&quot;&#039;s stuff and decided to check out Glen.  This show is superb.  

Recording quality is excellent, seems to capture the sound of this small room wth clarity and warmth.  It&#039;s only Glen and his guitar, but he fills up the audio space with his strumming and lyrics.  Both come through loud and clear on this recording.  

If you&#039;re a Glen Phillips fan, I&#039;m sure this is 5-stars, but since I don&#039;t know him well, I&#039;m saying 5-stars on sound and 4 for show so far.</reviewbody>
<reviewtitle>Sound Quality Awesome!</reviewtitle>

<review><reviewbody>Yes the music and sound quality of this recording are just perfect.  But the way Glenn uses the venue as a channel for political statements is ridiculous.  It sort of ruins the whole vibe.  </reviewbody>
<reviewtitle>Music and sound great...political channeling aweful</reviewtitle>
