"This is a fantastic performance by John Hiatt and the Guilty Dogs. John of course is very loose and kinda goofy acting at times, but the music is anything but goofy. This guy is truely passionate about his music and looks like he having a good time performing. One great aspect of this dvd is the superb audio mixing they accomplished. It means that I can crank to radical levels on my volume control, and the sound remains crystal clear, with no distortion. Now thats what I call a treat !!!"

Worth getting!

"When I first saw this back then,I was upset for the fact that I didn't record it and now it's available on dvd,and with bonus songs to boot!! You can tell that John Hiatt is having a good time with his mugging and gestures,but that doesn't matter when the songs and the band are so good!! Who cares if he can't dance! Neither could Peter Wolf or Billy Squier...it's just not the point...I hope Austin City Limits releases more performances on dvd,like the one of K.D.Lang back in the early 80's and a few others.....This is worth getting!!!"

Excellent Live Set from a great American songwriter

"A great set from John Hiatt backed by the always solid Guilty Men..including Elvis's current bass player Davey Faragher...Even though it's from a concert over 10 years ago...still sounds current... A great selection of classic Hiatt songs and the typically great quality video and sound..."

Classic John Hiatt

"I have seen John Hiatt many times in the past and he has always put on a high energy, very animated performance. This disc is no exception and maybe even a little more pumped up than usual. The song selection ranges from slow acoustic ballads to plugged in rock and roll. Hiatt flexes his diverse talents playing several different guitars and keyboards. Make no mistake though that Hiatt's strength is his songwriting and the production quality allows the listener to understand clearly what is being said."
