Agreed.  Tool is a great example (tho I'd expect most people here to hate them).

Well if anyone looked at the setlists they would realize that the setlists now are nothing like the ones five years ago much less ten years ago. So the obvious answer is they did not look at setlists.

Not sure if serious.

I left midway through their set when they headlined for Janelle Monae (who stole the show). OM were awful.


Why would I not be serious?  They make best live band lists from magazines.  Just because you did not like them doesn't mean they aren't great. 

I would add CSS as a band that is better live than on vinyl.

are you saying Tool is a kind of show that you don't need to attend, that just knowing the setlist is enough?

Pick their latest list compare to their show at Virgin Fest.  Notice differences. 

And my opinion is pretty standard. People love Of Montreal live.  What is not to like.  They put on a great show.  I haven't seen them in the last couple of years but their past shows were shows for the ages.

No - maybe I misunderstood the original quote.

Their setlist over the paast couple tours did not change dramatically and I passed on shows after finding out the setlist was nearly identical to a pair of shows I had seen a year or two earlier.

4/20/03 to be exact… I think.


It was Easter as well.  I wondered if there were always people dressed in rabbit suits on stage.  I want to say that they played that "Thank You Jack White (for that fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me)"

I thought so, but I saw them open up for String Cheese Incident at the Patriot Center a few months later, so I wasn't positive. 
No you got it right.
