Not quite sure what to make of this, it's more theatre than the conventional intimate gig format. The miming musicians (are they even musicians?), the audience of actors and the excess of 'cigarette' smoke (are they on fire?) are all quite distracting, close to irritating at times. The band are wearing masks but the audience of actors aren't. Were the audience filmed with the band screened behind them? If you can set all of this aside, accept the highly stylised presentation and focus on Bob's performance, he's in good voice, with some pleasing arrangements of older songs. Listen more carefully than you watch if you struggle with the concept.
