They were absolutely awesome when I saw them in one of the tents at Coachella earlier this year.
They kind of got lost in the vastness of the Hollywood Bowl, though, when they opened for Massive Attack back in September. (Though I attribute a lot of that to the crappy audience who were more interested in talking over TVOTR and getting drunk off of bottles of wine, than actually listening to the music!)
I think a small venue is the way to go with TVOTR. I would love to see them at the Fillmore in S.F.!
Seeing them in a few hours, a bit intent and intense and crazy because I am on the way home from a 24-hour road trip with little time to process life, just get ready for tonight's show.
