Capturing the band's performance of their landmark 1999 album at the famed Morrison, Colorado amphitheater in 2016, the album never sounds too mannered or too raw. On songs such as "A Spoonful Weighs a Ton," heavy bass and guitar, pedal steel, strings and 's fragile vocals all hold their own and blend together organically; considering that this is the first time recorded with a full orchestra, it's an even more impressive feat. The band's collaboration with the , a 57-person chorus, and conductor often reaches dazzling heights, particularly on the dynamic psych-rock of "Gash" and "The Spiderbite Song," which translates every bit of wonder in the studio version to the Red Rocks stage. The crowd's rapturous reception of acts like another instrument in the album's mix, with the swells of applause for songs ranging from the iconic "Waitin' for a Superman" and "Race for the Prize" to the instrumental "The Observer" providing euphoric crescendos between each performance.
