There have been some front page reviews that I thought were hypercritical/clueless but this is not one of them. I don't care for his writing style but Zerbo definitely knows his stuff. Read the last paragraph of the review again, that's not sniveling.

I webcasted and had a great time dancing my butt off but I am probably not going to download this show for the reasons articulated in the review.

It does seem like every show has at least a few distinctive highlights, and that many non-jam corners in the composed music have gotten refreshed with some subtle creativity, so I find lots to like in every show. But not every show is special.
