At the Apollo is a standard new millennium live album: it's a multimedia experience containing a DVD and a CD, but unlike so many of these sets, this doesn't replicate the show on video and audio. Instead, the DVD has the titular At the Apollo -- the Manchester Apollo, not the one in Harlem -- and the CD contains a live set recorded that same tour in Austin, TX.

It's a good memento, an entertaining listen, and enjoyable viewing, but it can only be called essential to those who notice whether or not these concerts were performed with the group's new bassist or not (for the record, they are).
