I love quiet finnish crowds, there's practically no crowd noise during the songs and the whole thing sounds great. Vocals are clear and upfront! Bob even talks and laughs! Some girls go crazy for Stu, much to Bob's amusement. "Jesus... Stu's got a little friend out there. Say hello to her. Been long time since someone screamed for him..." Get this for those reasons, plus you get to hear the new intro music. Personally the highlights for me were the quiet more acoustic version of Tangled Up In Blue and Bob's vocals on Nettie Moore, and naturally Bob's little speech and seeing him chuckle.
