Speaking as a Phil fan (for 22 years and counting), I have got to say this is a very good show. If you're a new found fan, buy his latest DVD "Finally, the first farewell tour-2006" & this one. There's a bit of difference in the shows. The new
one has somewhat more of a stage production. Very very well established as a solo artist, producer, songwriter, drummer & percussionist. Highly recommended. But THIS one, "Live at Perkins Palace", is more of a humbled concert (although Phil
is humble no matter what). Not quite as many band members with him on stage & the set list (choice of songs - in Layman's terms)is not that large because he's only had two solo albums at the point of this concert.
I highly recommend anyone reading this review purchase this tape. Half these tunes on here, Phil hardly performs live these days. Tunes such as: "I cannot believe it's true", "Behind the Lines", "The roof is leaking" & "Thru these walls" are pretty much never performed live in the 21st century. The younger Phil fans have never even heard of those tunes, much less heard them. The point is, this is a classic, great show. And, Phil was & IS an incredible & phenomenal DRUMMER. And he does some awesome drumming in this video. Buy it. Thanks for reading this.
