"This show was the highlight of the 2002 Texas run. From the opening notes of the show, through the end, there just wasn't a weak moment. Highlights of this show include a great version of WINDY MOUNTAIN, as well as LAND'S END. Both of these tunes made my short list of "best moments" of the Spring 2002 tour. If you are only going to buy one or two OTR shows, this is a great choice."

Holy...

"Set1 is absolutely blazing! Incredibly tight jam on MLT, best I've heard. Barstool is awsome and Lost > Texas blew me away. Windy Mountain and Freedom Jazz Dance were great and Land's End > Destiny Jam was really creative and orginal. I can't say enough great things about this show. BUY IT!"

"Set 1 is absolutely divine, showcasing many familiar songs such as the rare live performance of "100 Year Flood" to start, spot-on performances of "MLT" and "Barstool," and finally, what I consider to be the best transition in all the OTR sets I own: Lost > Texas. At 19:30, Texas may seem like a song that can paralyze even the biggest music fanatic's attention span, but it feels broken up into easily digestible chunks that make it seem shorter than it really is. Set 2 isn't as on course as that which precedes it, containing a first part of "Way Back Home" that's far longer than it should be followed by dawdling versions of "Joyful Sound" and "Cedar Laurels."Disc 3 is more than enough to make up for the slow start of the second set, slowly gaining momentum with the 12-minute "Windy Mountain" and picking it up quicker as the band goes into "Freedom Jazz Dance," "Can't Stop Now," and Land's End > Destiny Jam. Wrapping the three-day Austin run up with a near-flawless performance of "Miss Brown's Teahouse" tops it all off perfectly, but when all is said and done, Set 1 will get a lot more time in your car's CD changer or home stereo than Set 2 will, most notably 100 Year Flood, Lost, and Texas."
