If you are interested in hearing how the band performs the Hot Air Balloon rock opera, then this is a nice show to check out.

The only downside is that you might detect some moments of minor sloppiness/rustiness (Waves, for example - there's a great jam followed by some flubbing of of the composed peak, and the band struggles a bit to get back on the same page), and some of the songs/jams feel average in terms of execution. Still, the highlights from the show are quite good (see below).

More important than all of that that - hats off to the band for coming up with the idea of the April Fool's prank and giving us this special show.

Clear highlights: Helicopters jam (preceding Lai) Once The Fiddler Paid Jam between The Very Moon and Voices Insane
