You and I both, joyfulgirl. Seeing them third row center at the Bass Hall in Ft Worth in 2006 is still the best show I've ever been to, edging out Wilco in San Antonio last year and U2 in Dallas in 2005.
I Gaer is phenomenal. I've really taken a liking to that one. The new Von is a big improvement on the old one to me. The acoustic half is pretty much completely solid all around. The new Staralfur (which is the song that got me into SR in the first place) is warm and beautiful. I love what they did with Haysatan.
This set really is a great little treat between albums/tours. I'm finding new things to love about it all the time.
