Well, here it is finally, after much drama and anticipation, Ottawa has arrived. Is it worth the wait? Well, you be the judge. The taper is sitting WAY up in the arena and his camera is at max zoom for the majority of the show. As a result, the taper has a hard time at some points in actually filming the band. On some occasions the camera will sit focused on a light, or maybe on James' foot. The other problem is the taper is behind what appears to be a window and he will sometimes get spooked and pull the camera back. I included a "yikes, I'm scared" screen shot. Ok, so despite all that this is still a good show. Considering that the taper is so high up in the venue and the camera is zoomed as far as it is the video quality is good, and he does do a good job of following the action, especially considering it seemed he was afraid of getting caught. People will want this show because it's another '04 show but it actually is worth having and watching. Audio is obviously good as it's from livemet. It's' nice that the show has menus and chapters but the menus suck.

So overall I do like it, but I'd still prefer to watch Ft. Lauderdale '04....
