"Free from the constraints of the studio, the band stretches out not only in terms of song length, but also instrumentally, taking a number of chances as they rage through nearly two hours of material. Utilizing a full array of dynamic contrasts, they manage to move from subdued breaks to furious solo passages within a matter of moments ... Throughout Phosphorescent proves its amiable country rock is at its best in a live set. Stretching out well past the confines of their studio versions, songs are allowed to breathe and take on new and different shapes".

"Recorded after 8 months of touring in support of the excellent Muchacho, the run of cuts from that 2013 album that kicks off the set provides the most revelatory reworkings here. Adding the organic expansiveness - pedal steel and organ to the fore - of the well-drilled five-piece band to the slow-burning, subtly electronic shimmer of the originals, the mainly melancholy material becomes gratifyingly, unexpectedly uplifting".
