Wolf Trap

Recorded shortly after the WorkPlay performance, the session at The Barns at Wolf Trap served as a sort of ten-year reunion for the band. Almost everyone who had contributed to a McGee recording project showed up to play a little; noticeably absent from the set were Chris Williams and original PMB bassist John Small. The short set could either be played on the DVD as a whole, or interspersed with interviews with McGee that gave background stories to the writing of the songs and the band's formation.

On May 8, 2007, the set minus the "Haven't Seen" tease was released as a digital EP under the moniker Live Acoustic from The Barns. It was an iTunes
