Here are some clips I took from the show last night at the Virgin Festival.

Gas Hed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r33v8YD1HYw
Turn My Head: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj9HE-XiI4Q
Iris: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-HLYBxojIM

The setlist was something like:

Top
All Over You
Selling The Drama
Forever
Gas Hed
I Alone
The Dolphin's Cry
Lakini's Juice
Heaven
Iris
Sophia
Lightning Crashes

Probably not the right order, and I could be missing some. Not much band interaction at all, they seemed to be just going through the motions. Maybe because they only had an hour set. After seeing the band 20 something times though, I can say something was off. It might have been the fact that it was a festival show, full of 17 year olds counting down the seconds for Live to get off stage so they could see Akon (who ended up cancelling). Or maybe the boys are just loosing interest. The Virgin radio station here in Montreal RARELY plays Live, and when they do, its always Lightning Crashes. So it was an odd line-up for Live to be part of, but I'm glad they were included, even if 75% of the crowd weren't interested.

I gotta say - LIVE sound incredible as a band these days, GASHED and TMH were fantastic sound and performance wise...they sound almost CD quality. Which is great.

But during any of those performances the chemistry between the band doesn't seem to be what it was - CT & EK were always like Bro's onstage not in these.

Final thought - if the guys do festival shows like these with punk audiences who don't know or appreciate songs like TMH why not do up a rock setlist with songs like; lighthouse, Like I do, TSUFL (guitars) LJ - just big loud rockers to shut the punks up and make 'em take notice???

Yes, but seeing theose videos made me realize that for the most part that was far from a typical LIVE audience and in reality they were just bystanders. The band sounded good and I would've been rockin' my ass off to hear Iris. Oh well.
