Thrice were dis­ap­point­ing live; des­pite hav­ing very reas­on­able stu­dio mater­ial, they seemed unable to play it well. A rel­at­ively poor vocal per­form­ance was only made worse by the band’s ser­i­ous tim­ing issues. How­ever, they were able to per­form a decent rendi­tion of ‘The Artist In The Ambu­lance’, pos­sibly their best song. How­ever, all of Thrice’s mis­giv­ings were for­got­ten as soon as Coheed came on stage. The band played a tight, extremely impress­ive set, with plenty of stage the­at­rics. They man­aged to per­fectly bal­ance their old mater­ial with the new, and the heav­ier tracks with the softer ones. Claudio’s voice is pos­sibly bet­ter live than in a stu­dio, and his hair has to be seen to be believed. If you ever get the oppor­tun­ity, buy tick­ets to this band.
