The Show:
After a four week vacation from tour dates, BA, Mickey and Keith get together again in eastern Europe for a one-off show which is being aired on TV in Poland. Although the concert is promoted as "Sopot Festival" (typically a festival gig is an outdoor event) the concert venue seems to be an indoor hall of some sort that holds around 8000 fans.

The Songs:
Pretty standard set, although seeing that this is a full recording of a summer 2000 show with one exception: She's Only Happy When She's Dancing' is performed and caught on video for the first time with the trio. Other than that, the only slight variation is that When You're Gone is performed twice, although the first time not in full. The singer Bryan picked first to accompany him was lost. So, he stopped the song mid-way and picked someone else. I guess for all the tour dates he plays, it's bound to happen he picks a real dud once in a while from the audience. It is humourous to see him realize his first choice is hopeless.

The Recording:
Direct from the TV broadcast which aired throughout Poland. This DVD was created from an .avi file sent to me on CD. The quality is noticeably better than the video version that circulated shortly after the concert aired on TV.
