Hands down one of the best concert films I've ever seen. This band is absolutely brilliant live, and this DVD does a fantastic job of capturing these guys in full flight. Killer versions of Impossible Germany, Kingpin, Shot in the Arm, At Least That's What You Said, and Monday, among others. It also features lots of cool backstage footage and interviews with each band member.

I read a review of this saying that it was absolutely amazing, and shows the band playing at different venues (ie. it's not just a standard concert film). When I saw them open for Neil at the ACC in December I was dissapointed, but Jeff Tweedy did mention (and looked) terribly sick with a flu. Perhaps I'll check it out, and it'll redeem them in my eyes.

I've only been able to watch about half of it so far in between naps and home renos but what I've seen so far has been great. That version of Kingpin is so stellar.
Can't wait for the new album this spring and hopefully they'll swing through Western Canada again soon. Such a great live band.
