I attended the 12/29 and 12/30 show. You are correct, they were amazing.
Even the "mess-ups" are interesting to watch. There was one instance I remember- Quest and Frank were laying down a very subtle backing rythm and Frank was kinda falling behind the beat. I don't think it was very obvious, but I definitely heard it. Quest just kinda gave him "a look" and he was back on. Awesome.
I was up front the first night and on the balcony the second night. I took pictures and video mostly with my iPhone. A few with a point-and-shoot. Some of the shots of the first night are pretty cool. Def nothing close to pro quality though.
The video is just passable. The iPhone tends to start clipping audio very easily. I could post the images on Picassa if you are curious to see them... I guess I could upload the vids to YouTube, but the audio is pretty bad.
