Nice long diverse show for the average fan, plus some extras

"Great standard set list from the European tour with a few nice extras. Highlights from the main set are the rarely played "Pilate," "In Hiding," and an excellent version of "RVM." The encore is pretty standard although begins with three rocking numbers, "Hail, Hail," "Go," and "Once." Not an amazing show but solid none-the-less."
A Pretty Tight Performance.

"This live performance captured in Bercy is one of the best from the European tour back in 2000. Its a tight, energetic, and largely enjoyable show. Both for new fans and old ones as well. The band makes only a few flub ups during the show. Ed messes up the lyrical arrangment in Evacuation, but its still a pretty good version! One of the guitars messes up at the beginning of Hail Hail. Thats the only flaw that really sticks out. Pretty much thats the only 2 big mistakes. Theres a little messed up note at the very beginning of In Hiding, but it actually sounds kinda cool. It ends up being a good version of the song. Gods Dice and Yellow Ledbetter are the real stick outs of the show. Both songs are played a lot better than normal. Especially Ledbetter. Ive not heard a better or cooler version of the song. Its the only version I even listen to! Ive read a review of this album where they said it was only an average performance and that Eds voice was weak here. They couldnt be more wrong. Ed really sounds good at this show. AS he did for most of the 2000 tour. That statement made me wait to get this show instead of going ahead and buying it. If you happen to want to try to buy this, dont let that opinion stop you beacause this is out of print and that price may change from 20 dollars to 90! This show is very good and I recommend it to anyone who may still be wanting to buy these older shows."
