The "How are they live?" thread
gideon:
I've heard very good things about Sufjan Stevens who I'm seeing in sept.
How about Built to Spill or Ben Kweller?
The Hammered:
Thanks to everyone who offered opinions about the Go! Team. I don't know if I'll be able to get their album before I go to see them, but I wouldn't mind being introduced to them by a live performance either.
--- Quote from: MWhaling ---as for live swans (which i never got to see, either) i think that this picture pretty much sums things up:

That picture's great. Love the file name too.
Would that be Greed/Holy Money era, judging by the file name? I had the impression that they were done with that sort of thing by the nineties. I'll be getting a couple DVD-Rs from them (hopefully) soon, and I hear those have some live footage, which should be very nice. I've also seen a live clip of Like a Drug, which was great. They have a lot of live recordings available, actually, much more than most bands, but it's not the same as actually being there. Unfortunately, the only live Angels of Light recording that I'm aware of was issued in only 750 copies, and I don't have any doubt that any used copies would fetch high prices even if I could find them now (though I'll probably look around just in case).
mberan42, I was going to ask about the Decemberists but forgot. Thanks. I picked up Picaresque and the Tain recently and love them both. I'll definitely see them if I have the chance.
Regarding Sunn O))), I'm really not sure whether I'd see them or not if I had the chance. It sounds like an experience I'd love to have, but I'm worried about what they'd do to my poor ears.
Misereatur:
Just got back from the Stephen O'Malley, Oren Ambarchi & Attila Csihar show.
It was probably the best concert I've ever been to. I'm too tiered to write a review so youre going to have to take my word on it.
Also, Stephen O'Malley is a really nice person. I had a pleasent chat with him, he signed my copy of White 2 and got me on the invite list for their concert in Jerusalem on the 24th of July.
edit: I had ear plugs in my ears the whole time and I heared everything great. Did'nt miss one sound. But maybe that was because the sound man is pretty talented.
But bring ear plugs to a SunnO))) concert anyway.
michelbmur:
i saw the fiery furnaces live ans it was awful!
can anyone concur? disagree?
on a better note, the decemberists kick ass live!!
The Eyeball Kid:
I can disagree in one sentence or I can disagree in 500 words of Guiness fueled ranting about how Eleanor Friedberger is the centre of the entire universe.
Their old shows, with all the songs merging into each other, were AMAZING. The new tour, with a straight up heavy rock and roll thing, isn't to my tastes but its still great
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists live show can be summed by one of Jeph's fellow music comic people:
That its 100% true
