(I done seen the same tour as benji, and even when a third of the stage wasn't visible to me from far stage right because of sound equipment, they were really fun. Especially James Murphy. Oh boy there goes my man-boner again)
Liars are probably the only band I've seen I regret seeing (and I didn't even go to the show for them). This may be because they played a whole heck of a lot of songs off their "experimental" records that weren't "The Other Side of Mt. Heart Attack," and were therefore terrible songs to begin with, but they were also too over-the-top in their stage mannerisms for me.

Interspersed with "jam sessions," shoutouts to the audience, and the audience participation thing. It took like ten minutes for them to select "band members" and get them up there, so they could play for two seconds. I thought it was just because we were the last stop on the American tour so they decided to make a crap of it, but if they're like that all the time I won't bother seeing them again. But it's also been several years so maybe they grew up by now.

You do realise I'm talking about their most recent tour?
But then that was three years ago. Honestly, I'm fascinated by what they have planned for the next album.

--- Quote from: gospel on 18 Sep 2008, 10:24 ---At first I thought it was the small venue or the equipment, but Okkervil rocked the house. It just seemed like the new album wasn't arranged well into the rest of the set, and he didn't quite have a grasp of his own vocal range live. I wasn't the only person who walked out for a smoke break either. He really wasn't working the crowd. It was just "We are the walkmen [song] We are the walkmen, this ..[song]."

I am guessing they just had a bad show, because I just saw them on Monday and it was spectacular. Maybe the show you saw was a fluke?

I am pretty sure he is talking about The Walkmen. His reference to an entirely separate Okkervil River show was for comparison (i.e., the venue is perfectly capable of hosting an awesome show). Unless The Walkmen are touring with Okkervil River and no one told me!

They were paired together for just one show in Madison.

Sigur Rós are amazing live, absolutely brilliant.. I don't know what these guys are talking about, but the three times I've seen them (following ( ), Takk and the new album which I can't spell) both Jonsi, their brass band and everything about the shows were great. At the last show they even had big white orbs behind them that lit up with the music. They were dressed up (feathers in their hair, uniforms, balloon animals in their pants), happy and sociable.. Even though Jonsi spoke mostly Icelandic... Best show of my life.

Maybe I should elaborate a bit here. The first time I saw them was a couple of years ago at a festival, where they had to play at some silly time like 1 pm. It wasn't particularly helpful that they'd partied with the Soulwax guys the night before, resulting in everyone reaching for the OJ every five minutes and them generally having as much charisma as the mud we were standing in. During their gig at another festival last year I was probably too high to remember most of their set, which isn't very helpful either.
