I have been told that the Shins have figured it out, but the first two times I saw them they were definitely much better recorded than live.

Saw them after their first album then twice again on their second album and completely agree with you, haven't seen them since. Maybe they got better after ditching that hot girlfriend beating keyboard player Marty Crandall.

You mean this dismissed due to lack of evidence case? https://pitchfork.com/news/28368-marty-crandall-domestic-abuse-case-dismissed/

Pavement's "reunion" tour was pretty f'n ripping. Their 90's sloppy shows were kind of their thing though. The same can be said for any Malkmus shows… really hit or miss, but always a good time IMO.

Interpol. For as good as their records are you're better off staying home and listening to them on your stereo rather than seeing them live. Both formats are basically identical.

I loved Beach House for a while until I saw them live. They were so awful that I can't listen to their music anymore without thinking about how boring that show was.
