Why only 4 out of 5?

"I have no qualms giving it a full 5 out of 5. This show rocks. The sound and picture quality are phenomenal. This is a benchmark DVD for live music. The format of DVD with all the extras is one thing - but to not deal with VHS hiss, that's a whole other world. If you know Panic, you know Mikey just sits and plays. You get lots of great close-up shots of the soloing. If you're a guitarist, you can get a sense of his style from the video. This is exactly why Jerry Garcia did not want videos with close ups of his playing. The setlist for the show is phenomenal - I'm Not Alone, and Papa's Coming Home - will entrance you. Pop it in at 3 AM."

Even if you were there, it's great to see again

"Oak Mountain is one of the best venues to see Panic, and this DVD lets you see footage that you can't really see at the show. Both sets rock, and watching Mike, JB, and Schools' hair blowing in the wind lets you see that they're having a good time. Watching this show on a nice set with surround sounds speakers is a mellow way to watch a rockin' show! Any fan should enjoy it - not just diehard fans, but anyone who enjoys the music, even if they don't like the scene. I recommend it late at night, in the easy chair with my boots on."

Actually did the show justice!

"I live 10 min. away from the venue so as you can guess i was there for all three days of the show. it was incredable! i found it extremely hard to believe that a DVD could do the show justice when i saw it live but it did. there were so many people arrested at that show that it wasnt even funny, somthing like 300 viles of lsd were confiscated. they had the drug taskforce out in-force with undercovers. the sound quality is so great that if i turn it up loud and close my eyes it feels like being there all over again minus the beer and sid. i recomend this to everyone. even if you arent a wsp fan buy this and EXPERIENCE the gift of gutar with one of the very best jam-bands ever, this is a must have! this DVD is the closest thing to actually being there that you will ever find. and i have the ticketstubs to go with it, this is great."

2.5 hours of sheer pleasure

"I'm a new WP fan and just got this DVD. Basically, it's incredible. The sound is awesome, the camera work is very good (they actually show the band, not the audience), and the playing is great. If it's possible to wear out a DVD I may just find that out."
