Wow... I enjoyed so immensely. I had seen some live videos prior to the show, and they seemed good on those, but after listening to the album several times, I just couldn't believe that they could pull it off live. Well they did and then some.
Who would have guessed that Jim's voice would actually be more powerful live then on the album? Just incredible. As well his guitar work, and well the musicianship of the entire band was just mind blowing. They managed to pull of one of the best musical albums I have heard in a live format, which really just should not be possible. The highlight of the evening for me would have to be either Cut Your Ribbon, or perhaps Red Alibi... or...err.. wait... maybe it was Echodyne Harmonic. Two keyboards live? YEP! I was worried that they had part of it recorded... then I spotted their roadie (Josh???) sitting behind one of the amps with a keyboard.
I would say that one of the only low points of the set was that they were using some vocal effects on Air wasn't really a fan of that. I think that Jim could have pulled it off without.
