Not for me. At the risk of bringing down buckets of scorn, I experienced the performance as incongruent. Sixty focused on the dogs which were great, as were the set-ups and visual effects involved with the tricks. I found it hard to concentrate on and appreciate the dogs and their performance with the humans drawing attention to themselves with their rumpled and ill-fitting clothing and antics. I enjoy and prefer a different style of presentation and found it hard to watch to the end.
I especially liked the one leaping up in front of the camera - I have a 50 pound BC mix who will do that to this day - and she will be 11 this year - pure puppy energy. Boing boing!
The goat follows the two heeling Belgians and causes his handler to get tangled and fall. The other incongruity (besides the too small, too short, too tight clothes on the Human Dawg with the carefully buttoned sweater and seemingly carefree shirt tail hanging out the bottom, involves one dog going up the colored steps and two coming down the changed-up colored ramp.
Stage hands wear black to blend into the background and not call attention to themselves. The white this band was wearing worked with the rest of the props except for the lead guy's need to display his individualism in a way that distracted from the dogs but put him in the spotlight too. A t-shirt and jeans for all would have been my choice.
There are some fun, exuberant, and well-trained behaviors showing up with the dogs, which translates into overall joy and dog-goodness. Our neighbor's Golden used to run toward me like the one who bursts through the buckets, whenever he'd see me working outside and I loved it. Also had a dog who'd jump into the air for the joy of doing so.
According to younger SonM (numbered among the millennial generation) it's a single cut video which is noteworthy as it represents a particular challenge to work out, with the rumpled and irregular clothing in an otherwise carefully scripted and constructed set in which all the parts work together, being a "notice Me" element that looks like it just carelessly happened but didn't.

Excellent video - a great pick-me-up here in the middle of weeks of gloomy rainy weather.
Obviously, Border Collies FTW, although the Golden and the German shepherd are right there in the mix.
And who doesn't like a Crack Russell terrier, am I right?
The hand command for heel and sit are great - that's the first time I have seen that. Very nice.
Shih Tzu's rule!

Wait, there were humans in that show? Didn't notice. All I saw were well trained rescue dogs having good times - my favorite thing ever.
The Dogs were De Bomb!

Anyone notice the two Belgian sheepdogs heeling like no other breed does, and they did this with people who are not their handlers.
If you did notice, then you also noticed the goat.
Those Belgians are brilliant and as I type that my BC mix is staring at me. Easy, girl, you're a good dog too...
And I just rewatched that video twice looking for a goat. I think it must be wearing a dog costume, just sayin'.
Couple of the band members have plumped up a bit. They'd have a tough time recreating the treadmill video.

There's the dadgummed goat - I was distracted by the prop movement in the foreground. Dang!
I have tried to get videos of my big dog leaping in the air - I have one good one but no way to download it.

Mama, all of their videos are one-take. It's their niche.
You'll remember the treadmills.
And the One Moment video.
And the zero gravity airplane.
The End Love video
The Rube Goldberg type setup in a warehouse for This Too Shall Pass
You'll notice a theme across videos. They like making a mess with paint.
