Though not a bad show, this one is somewhat overrated to my ears. You're sure to enjoy it if you dig the bliss jams, as there's a handful sprinkled throughout. The best of which is DttB > RLH - this is good shit for sure.

The opening sequence is the standout highlight (jam > RLH > I-Man). (Funny how sometimes the first jams of the show end up being the best.) Another highlight is the Shelby encore - it goes fairly deep into spaced-out dub territory.

The rest of the show is a bit of a mixed bag, occasionally suffering from the typical '03 issue of Barber being unfocused and overly noodly.

Clearly YMMV as it appears that plenty of people do hold this show in high regard. In the very least you owe it to yourself to check out the opening sequence.
