First of all, I\u2019ll get the technical aspects out of the way; the visual quality is good. It looks nice on the big screen television at my house, and the audio quality is great in my home theatre system. You can hear every instrument being played in detail. But what you really want to hear about is the music. The Drive-By Truckers could have very easily stormed the stage, and unleashed a three-guitar southern rock attack that could have made the studio look like it was hit by a tornado when they were through, but instead they opt to do a slow-building set. They start off very soft, very folk rock, and then build up from there, reaching the peak in the middle with \u201cPutting People on the Moon,\u201d a seven-minute southern rock epic that Lynyrd Skynyrd would be proud of, and \u201cSpace City,\u201d one of the best country ballads you\u2019ll hear anywhere. This CD\/DVD set made me a fan of Drive-By Truckers (even though the CD contains only half of the 26 tracks on the DVD).
