...h6 I didn't see the purpose of this. Rfd8 would have served you better in the b5 line.
2:29 Doesn't Nd5 after e5 save the piece?
3:05 I like that White attacks the queenside complex. Here I think c4 is worth considering - to fix c5 as a target. If b5, for example, then Kc1, followed by Rd2 (with the idea of possibly activating the lsb via d1). White has difficulty here because his lsb is hemmed in.
White could consider moving all of his kingside pawns to the dark squares. Especially if the c5 pawn is fixed, both bishops will have activity with the kingside pawns on teh dark squares.
3:17 Your position is not strong enough to grab space like this. A6 strengthens the queenside pawn complex and frees your rooks to uccupy the d-file. Advanced pawns need support. Space needs support. Space is meant to give pieces more freedom, and restrict opponent's pieces. Extra space should not tie your pieces down. Extra space shold amplify their scope. Having said all of that, once you do get the space, you consolidate it quickly and well.
White could play a4 instead of Be3, if b4, b3 and White has a potentially active spot for his lsb on c4
3:32 Rd8 - why do you want to trade rooks? You have the d-file nicely shut down, and white's rooks only cramp him.
9:25 Be7, the White pawns must be guarded. If White can nab one Queenside pawn and then remove the Knight with the dsb, he could probably draw.

Nice music intro!
