"I wish I could write something as great as 'Burn Baby Burn'. Something sublime about that one. Album is 2nd after A-Z Vol. 1 for me." Reply
"The songs are strong but I have an issue with the bombastic orchestral production...less (a lot less) might have been more for this album." Reply
"A stellar, glimmering portrait of a band at the height of its powers. Tweedy and Wilco captivate and command the attention of the Chicago audience in a way that I have failed to witness on just about any other live recording. Superb." Reply

"Pure joy! I love it! I've never heard an album so bustling with happiness and humanness and love. I just feel uplifted having heard this. The way everything blends together turns this album into one big happy sound soup. I barely even call this "electronica", its just awesome." Reply
