Same with The Black Keys. They were amazing in concert. But then again I see most of these acts in DC where people are for the most part more intelligent about music than other places (said idiot was not from DC), so maybe that explains it. And most of what you hear from a band isn't live anyway. I think one day, someone is going to tell me the NY Dolls suck live and my head is going to explode, but only after I choke them to death (the dolls are amazing live).


True, but MGMT didnt even sound anything like they do on record. They somehow managed to sound like a really bad aimless jam version of sonic youth. I didnt even recognize 'Time to Pretend' or 'Electric Feel'. This was over a year ago though, they may have gotten better. But believe me when I say, they were completely different live. In a bad way.
