You lucky barsteward. I missed out on seeing them a couple of years back at the Avalon next to Fenway in Boston. I am still well pissed off about that.

In terms of what extra a band can bring to a live performance my favourite band remains Super Furry Animals though...

Apparantly all the English people are in Atlanta!! I get a couple of different ones every week at work!! We have a few regulars and then every now and then I'll catch an accent....
There was a very fine looking gentleman with a very nice london accent just yesterday......usually its women tho!!
They mostly dont strike up conversations with me though, either they dont wanna talk England or I look ike a pitbull

This was the first time I'd seen them although I'd been a fan since their first album came out. They were great live - a certain energy that many bands don't quite manage - and I would definitely make the effort again.

I've seen Snow Patrol a number of times - all back in the UK. Agree that Gary Lightbody is very funny onstage. None can beat the charismatic on-stage presence of Jarvis Cocker though. I saw Pulp 10 times and they had an incredible stage presence. I really enjoyed their shows (usually from right down at the front!)
Suede were also fun to watch. Did you ever have the pleasure?

A couple years ago we went to see Roger Waters "Dark Side of the Moon", and not being a huge Floyd fan I wasn't keen, but OMG I had the BEST time and vowed next time they are in town I will go again - FANTASTIC!!!! (obviously duhhh)
