This is Matt Embree and folks pre-lumberjack beard and at the beginning of the shaggy hair. There is also a slideshow contained herein. It comes with two shows, one from the "War is Worthless" benefits they helped with, and the other isn't a show per say, but a conglomeration of bootlegs and acoustic tracks. However it happened, I'm glad it did, as it documents the band at a wonderful point in their history, prior to the release of their masterpiece, The Resignation, in the height of the political unrest surrounding the war in Iraq and other issues. Rumor has it that Drive-Thru was dragging their feet on releasing/getting ready a DVD for them, so Matt decided to go and release it on his record label. For many fans, this has been a long time coming, especially after the debacle with the early pressings of The Resignation's bonus DVD, where the audio and video weren't synced properly.
