The Show:
A private show for WalMart executives across the country is what BA and the band (now a four piece band) to the northwest corner of the great state of Arkansas. Not exactly what you would consider a BA-educated crowd, but they're pleasant enough during the familiar numbers. The show was professionally filmed for the WalMart TV Network and six songs aired on the network on June 8, 2002. Although more songs were certainly performed that night, these six made it to the video - which is not available anywhere.

While watching the video, I kept thinking of the Hearts on Fire video. The lighting looks the same, BA's clothes look the same and even BA with the short hair cut looks the same.


The Songs:
Sadly, the WalMart TV Network only showed six songs but for a professional quality recording, I'll take it. The bonus is that it's the first time of a more traditional concert setting is Here I Am performed and the first known live recording of Get Off of My Back. Even with BA's broken hand, he managed to play acoustic guitar during Everything I Do...

The Recording:
The upside is that this is a professional quality video recording with minimal snags. I can't give this one an A+ because the downside is that during parts, the video and audio are visibly off a fraction of a second. Still, it's the first live concert recording of any type in two years so who's to complain?
