anyone seen them live? Heard they are mindblowing.

Anyways on youtube, there are quite a few videos of them performing after gigs in the lobby or halls of the arenas they play at. is this usual or normal for their shows?

    Saw them open for U2 and they were brilliant.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    I saw them at Webster Hall in NYC awhile ago and they were AWESOME.

    Saw them Jan 2005 in a club.

    One of the best shows i've ever seen. So much energy and passion.

    If Win's voice is well enough i'll be seeing them again on a much larger scale in a couple months again.

    They are good..but Explosions in the Sky, Mono and Sigur Ros all put on better shows (in the mind blowing) sense.

    why don't you compare an apple and an orange ;)

    Totaly different kinds of bands. If you like post rock it is hard to compare those shows to a more traditional rock show in my opinion.

    yeah they're rad and as for the playing in the halls after the show when I saw them her in nov 05 they walked around jamming and most people where leaving but my friend and I went out a different way than normal and basically walked into them and as soon as we did they started playing Queen Bitch by Bowie for the like 75 people that happened to be standing there it was awesome

    Best live band on the planet right now. I put them on equal footing with Pearl Jam.
    It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.
