Hokay ... about a month ago I saw one of my favorite bands in concert for the first time at the Orlando House of Blues.

Guster: www.guster.com

And until that time if you'd asked me who gave the best live performance EVAR the answer would've been easy.

Weird Al

If you've never seen him in concert, go now before you die. If it's not one of the most thoroughly entertaining and engaging performances you've ever seen, I'll pay for your ticket. I'm lying.

Could Guster have possibly trumped Weird Al? I'm not sure, but it's a damn close race. Their drummer is quite possibly a deity of sorts. I think he only used drumsticks for 2 songs. The rest of the time he was just beating on them with his hands. Listen to Amsterdam then think about that. And you know it's a good concert when you like the live performances of songs that you never liked on the albums e.g. Airport Song. But then I have to wonder ... why the f' didn't they record that version?

so yeah, they roxors
