"Nicely recorded album that starts off with a couple of classics and morphs into some new/old stuff. I saw this version of the PT band about a year before they recorded this performance and was somewhat surprised to see the 4 piece version of the band again. As all of you hammerheads know the band goes through the the 3 to 4 thing about once every ten years or so. Pat does either one well (of course) and when you're hearing them live it's difficult to appreciate the subtle differences. So I was slowly (but surely) getting my head into this live recording, not really caring about the two guitars versus one guitar thing until I got to "Bad Sign". Then the memory of the show I saw with this lineup on 2/08/06 really kicked in. The interplay between Pat and Kirk on that song was amazing. There was never too much of a good thing, and Frank and Eric were totally listening and adding there energy to the mix. So if you'd like to hear two excellent rock guitarists playing together almost perfectly during a live performance, buy this album."
