Interesting to see what they did live but they shoulda stayed in the studio.
I'm not trying to discourage anyone from posting live SD (heck, I've even seen a few Rap and Dubstep songs I didn't hate), I just felt like spouting a little.  |
I'd say they're hit & miss 'live'. I saw them a few yrs back when they were performing albums in their entirety (I went to the 'Royal Scam' & 'Aja' nights)
@ the Gibson Amphitheater here in L.A. (a venue that is sadly gone now) and both nights they sounded great and were really into their performances.
I saw them last year @ the Nokia Theater and felt like they were just phoning it in. They didn't even do a single encore. That's right, finished the last song, said good night, and walked off stage. It was weird.
