Saw them last night perform with an orchestra - I went dragging my feet thinking I was over their schtick - but man I havent laughed (in a good genuine way) at a concert like this in a long time (ever?).
The North Korea 'Sound of Music' stuff was pretty boring tbh but having an orchestra behind them is how they were always meant to be.

A live album containing a performance from 1987 has just been released. Apparently it was broadcast on German radio at the time, so it's been bootlegged a bunch, but they've remastered it to be LOUD AS FUCK and it's absolutely head-crushing, somewhere between Foetus's Rife and Swans' Public Castration Is A Good Idea. There are audible instruments (guitar, bass, horns!) and the performance is absolutely on fire. Essential if you're a fan.

Two and even three live versions of the same songs? Who needs that?
