Heard it in its entirety... Good Album... Most people have downloaded the show itself, but not all have heard the mastered version..(Okonokos)

I love it...the only thing missing is "The Bear" but the version of "Xmas Curtain" makes up for it.

It's good, but honestly I'm pretty 'live-d' out. And I'm sure the DVD will be really cool, but somebody wake me when they're back in the recording studio.  :D

I've now listened to the whole album and I have to say that some of the newer tunes don't get me too excited without the visuals, as most are pretty close to the album version.  But the older tunes, basically anything not from Z really are great as we have not had good recorded versions of these songs with the newer lineup.
The mix is really nice to.  Nice to hear carl and bos work up high in the mix.  And its definately not a cleaned up live album which I always appreciated, a few warts makes for an interesting show.

I agree fully.  You are right in that the songs from Z are rather boring on okonokos because they sound album-like but the older songs (lowdown with an added intro, and xmas curtain with its sweet guitar) shine greatly.  Jim either didn't say anything in between songs that night or his comments were cut out...just straight up music.  I woulda kinda liked some talking but oh well.

It Beats, Dondante and Wordless never cease to amaze me live, tho.....especially Jim's ending Wordless vocals.   :o

I've heard it a couple of weeks ago and I completely utterly adore it. Especially "Dancefloors". I love that live version of one of my favorite MMJ songs ever!  All I can say is that MMJ rocks my world completely, and they have made it - again! ;D

I can't wait to get my advance copy so I can actually contribute more than jealous whimpers to the discussion.
