If you're a fan of them, I'd definately go. They were one of the best live shows I've seen. Girlfriend and I are getting tickets this Friday to see them again in April.

I've enjoyed them every time I've seen them play live.

in my experience, they have a bad habit of being on bills with openers who blow them out of the water. they've been totally boring with a stale schtick when i've seen them, but go if you like them.

Saw them before I ever heard them and was very, very impressed. The studio seems to suck some of the life out of them.

saw them in 2005 w/okkervil river & both kicked arse.

saw them in 2006 when colin had a sore throat & they did good but he obviously was struggling a bit, then they cut the night short.

i saw harvey danger last year and sean nelson was battling laryngitis. it was still awesome. i guess some people can rise up to those occasions. of course, they cancelled the next few shows because of his dead voice.

i think it sounded like their album, just a little louder. very talented group, but def. for the fans, not the casual show-goer. this was 2 years ago so maybe they've spunked it up a bit?

Boring as fuck, but Decemberists fans don't seem to care.

It reminds me of an old girlfriend, who described a Grateful Dead show as "30,000 people all having a great time except for me and the band."

That's my take as well. I could've done without the "witty" banter and Meloy asking for crowd participation during the song where the whale swallows a ship or some guy.


Too much brain and not enough balls.


To be fair, it was summer and 1000 degrees in the venue. I could've been delerious.

i thought they were boring when i saw them at the wiltern back in oct. they were good, but it was boring. however, the visual set-up on the stage was incredible and i loved the way they all dressed.
