Better than Warts & All!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"If you are a fan of the Warts & All series then you will not be disappointed with this release. As a fan of moe., I have found the Warts & All releases to be good (with some quibbles about the sound quality of Vol. 1), but this is better than any of the three in that series.Now to the disc itself:1. The Rebubula opener is worth the price of the set alone. 25 minutes of exploration that never gets stale. I have had this disc in my car player for about a week and have a hard time getting past this segment. I think I am driving my wife insane!2. Not Coming Down unfolds out of Rebubula and the band keeps on cranking. Played well and a little funky.3. Wormwood segues out of Not Coming Down and allows the crowd to catch their collective breath. By this time I am sure they need it. It would have been great to be at this show.4. The band keeps on rolling with no pause as Wormwood segues into She Sends Me. Great tune and played well here.The band finally stops to recover. The rest of the set and the second set are well played and flow very well and you will enjoy every second of it, but they once again fly off the map with Tambourine and Recreational Chemistry.Pick this release up if you even remotely are a fan of moe. You will find yourself coming back to it time and again."

Ditto.

"I agree with everything the previous reviewer said--heck, he's the reason I sought out this particular one. It's the second "Instant Live" set I've bought. Both are great. I think from now on, when I see one in the store, I'm just grabbing it. You probably should, too."
