THIS IS ONE GREAT SMOOTH "JAM" BAND CONCERT!!! WIDESPREAD PANIC PERFORMS WONDERFULLY BEFORE THIS PACKED, AUSTIN, TEXAS, HALLOWEN CROWD. THIS WAS FILMED OCTOBER 31, 2000. THE BAND IS GREAT, THE MUSIC IS GREAT, THE HALLOWEN DECORATED CROWD IS GREAT, MAKING THIS ONE GREAT CONCERT DVD!!!

You get 11 great songs:

Let's get down to business
Ain't Life Grand

The line-up consists of:

John Bell on guitar and vocals (he is really in "vibe" with the music)

Michael Houser on guitar and vocals (NOTE - HIS PRESENCE ON THIS CONCERT DVD MAKES IT MORE SPECIAL, BECAUSE, HE DIED OF PANCREATIC CANCER 2 YEARS LATER).

David Schools on bass and vocals.

John Herman on keyboards and vocals.

Todd Nance on drums

Domingo "Sunny" Ortiz on percussion.

THIS IS A GREAT ONE FOLKS!!! IT EVEN HAS EXCELLENT LINER NOTES IN THE DVD PACKAGE, DESCRIBING THIS CONCERT IN DETAIL!!! THE BAND IS GREAT, THE MUSIC IS GREAT, THE DECORATED HALLOWEN CROWD IS GREAT, MAKING THIS ONE GREAT CONCERT DVD. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ONE!!!

With the exception of climb to safety (which i personally cant stand), this is an amazing DVD. Great video and sound quality throughout. The band is really on their game and Mikey brings the house down during Space Wrangler. Driving>Surprise Valley>Driving is another gem. Panic will never be the same as it was with Houser but they are sounding pretty good now that Jimmy has settled in. The boys get 5+ stars for this one. Thank you Austin City Limits and Brown Cat for releasing this. Go see this band!

Thanks, you guys! Fast shipping, and of course, needless to say, the video rocks face!
