I saw them play in 2004. It was, I think, the first reunion tour that I went to and got to feel like an old person reliving my youth. This was 5 years ago but they sounded really good. Frank wasn't hitting the high notes as smoothly as on the old albums but overall the band played really with just as much intensity as you'd expect - the songs all sounded great and, since they've all pretty much mastered their instruments (and their songs) in the last 20+ years, in some cases they sounded better than I expected.
