I do have to note that one of the songs featured (Billy Came Back From Vietnam or whatever the name is) is one of Oysterhead's odder songs. Les Claypool in the helmet and spotlight glasses didn't help. Little Faces is also a little odd. Two of the others (Radon Balloon and Polkadot Rose) are more traditional songs written by Trey Anastacio. Let me tell you, the vocals on Reverb sound a lot better than they do live (though Trey sounded much better on the CD. Probably enhanced.) It was so cool to see Stewart in action, though. He could be playing with Britney Spears (NOT THAT HE WOULD) and I'd still watch. Maggie Teri Kronberg wrote:

I managed to catch Reverb the other night-- actually I wasn't looking for it. Out of the corner of my eye...I saw a hand, a drum stick and thought immediately that had to be Stewart. Twenty years of Police fandom, yeah definitely. No one else has his style. He is the show from what I could tell. The musicianship is good, I admit, but the group itself isn't my cup of tea. There has to be more. I have to agree that Stewart's performance deserves to go along with better vocals and lyrics.
