"The third night of the New Years show was really good, but this show was just a little bit better. Excluding Made to Measure (I personally dont like that song). This was the best light show I have ever seen. And the setlist was choice. That special guest on guitar was fuckin ridiculous. He tore it up that night, and so did Umphreys. Great encore"

"The guy who was in front of me for the new years show either owned or worked for the lighting company. He said there was about a million dollars in lights there. lets hope they can take that show on the road, because their old light show was not very good. All three nights were amazing. Best guests this night, best musically the 29th, and the most grandious was the 31st."

"this show was short but really, really sweet. thank you kevin for an awesome recording! the aud theater is totally a sonic playground, check out the dynamics of this performance-everyone sounded spot on. perhaps the best part of the show was the lights-you could almost see the notes bouncing around the room! keep on keeping on umphs!"

"this show is a perfect example of why i go to see shows. you drive hours, stay in hotels, and travel to the ends of the earth to hopefully catch a show like this one. It was INSANE! set 1 highlights include a wicked WBG with insane lights and the Redman sit in on Alex's and Rocker Pt. 2. But the real fireworks happened with the entrance of Stanley Jordan. they ripped 40's a new asshole with many new textures and flavors with Jordan's presence. the 1st set pales in comparison to the 2nd set with likely the best version of Great American played. WOW! Jordan and Redman added elements i've never seen to the UM sound. set didn't let up from there. get this show!"
