One of the best acoustic live sets, they for sure made history here. Can't imagine the work behind this preformance, every note is so carefuly and emotionaly played. Even the songs are substancially diffrent than the original versions. Makes me so happy that QOTSA is so versatile, for sure one of the best musicians and band in the world. Even someone who is much into music can regognize the feeling and emotion transmited. LOVE this some much that makes me want to go to Mona Museum.
