"With the exception of climb to safety (which i personally cant stand), this is an amazing DVD. Great video and sound quality throughout. The band is really on their game and Mikey brings the house down during Space Wrangler. Driving>Surprise Valley>Driving is another gem. Panic will never be the same as it was with Houser but they are sounding pretty good now that Jimmy has settled in. The boys get 5+ stars for this one. Thank you Austin City Limits and Brown Cat for releasing this. Go see this band!"
Love it!
