I was fortunate enough to see the band live 3 times. The first time was by accident. They were the opening act for, I think it was, the Strawbs. After they played we could see that it was a tough act to follow. I saw them at Yale's Woolsey Hall, the Palace in Waterbury,CT and at Golden Hall in San Diego. I'd still be going to see them if they only made it possible. Definitely one of the best live bands to ever grace the stage. The excitement they created is difficult to explain. They were so unconventional you were just blown away. They went from heavy to creepy to medieval to classical seemlessly. They were just so tight and cool. They're missed.
