It's just just a great chance to do the songs that fulfill you creatively and not need to deal with casual fans and lighting/video cues.

That's exactly the feeling I had when I saw the Tarrytown show he did last year. He seemed so relaxed, comparatively speaking, that you could almost feel it, just watching the video. He was doing songs he wanted to do, with no pressure to cater to anyone.
I understand the need for the setlists he uses with the band, and the expectations people have; but it's sad in a way. I think these shows are much more interesting and enjoyable than the concerts where he feels like he has to be "on" the entire time and base his choices on what will please the masses.
