that live clip was really cool. the sound is great, don't get me wrong they really sound just like the album, but sounding too much like the album is a downer for me. that clip looks like the end of a show... listen to the crowd, polite applause, 2 or 3 cheers, pretty freaking tame.
there's nothing wrong with recreating an album on stage but you're also putting on a show, there's nothing wrong with pulling out all the stops during the outro vamp to a set either. i kept expecting some sort of avalanche of noise to finish things off, not the same buzzing drone as the disc. good but not great if it's actually the closer.

when i saw them they closed with 'you made me realise' (apparently they always do this) which bridged into what we timed as 20/25 minutes of noise before diving back into the song... i've recounted it already i believe but it was most definitely a sonic avalanche - we watched two people faint and hundreds of indie kids struggling to maintain their composure before their girlfriends made them leave. Pretty torturous yet magnificent upon completion, like the London marathon. i'd like to see a video of that
