Judging by the enthusiastic response at HungerCity, quite a few members answered "I do!" to the question posed in the subtitle. Part of the reason must be that this is the first 2013 show to appear as an authored DVD. Another reason is that the disk author, the venerable madhasse, is one of the most skilled and prolific editor/sound upgraders in the business whose products are worthy of consideration no matter what limitations there might be.
However, as madhasse himself points out, this is not the greatest viewing experience. Although rock steady and mostly unobstructed, the distance factor renders facial recognition of the players impossible. On the other hand, the sound isn't half bad considering that alternate audio is not yet available and the disk author had to edit the camera sound.
So, my advice is to do what I did: place the DVD in your computer or player, listen to the sound of these great performances, and hold out hope for something we can sink our eyes into.
