Has anyone seen them at all in the last few years? I'm going to D.A.R. in DC on the 30th of November (I think) and was wondering how they compared to their recordings. I know I'll enjoy the show, I'm just curious if it'll be as much as I expect it too (they did take off for a long time, and we have yet to see a new release coming from them).

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.

"Doolittle" is more or less their best album. Not one bad song out of the lot of them. Personal favorite has to be Hey and Tame.
