    Just saw them tonight in Arizona, and the show was absolutely brilliant. The opening music set the mood perfectly, and once all the members came up the theater went crazy.

    If anyone is looking for a good jam band to listen to live, look no further. They had some of the most amazing riffs going on for 6-11 minutes straight, stunning music. I'm just kind of sad the show was so short, only 1 hour (not including the intro music.)

    saw them in Philly, amazing show. No banter at all, straight shredding all the way through. Amazing band.

    I live in the city where they are from and saw them 2 weeks ago, it was really tight. then the next day they played a secret show at a small club a mile away from my house and saw them again. I am not a huge fan but there live show is really good.

    I've been a fan since Deloused in the Comatorium (still think that's their best album) Saw them open for the Chili Peppers a few years ago. I wish I had been less drunk at that point in the show. Note to self: don't let people talk you into doing tequila shots before going to a show you want to remember the next day.

    Saw them in Montréal for the Frances the Mute tour.

    2h30 non-stop.

    The live stuff is nothing like the records.
