I saw them in 2006, and they were pretty amazing. Thomas sat down for most of the show (prompting a "Try not to seem so enthusiastic!" heckle), but Lloyd completely tore it up.

Also this quote from the Fire records page for the album is fucking gold:
RFTT invited fellow Clevelanders This Moment In Black History to contribute to 'Black Record.'"We've had a mutual admiration society going for years. I wanted them involved," singer Crocus Behemoth said. "I wanted to feel a rival group's eyes on us as we worked."

I went to the show. Had a good time although the encore featured David Thomas getting really pissed off at guitarist Buddy Akita and after two attempts to do the song, the curmudgeonly singer stormed off the stage (as fast as a 61-year old with a cane and obviously bad legs could storm at any rate) and left a bewildered band but enthusiastic crowd in his wake.

I imagine there was quite the band meeting back in the van after the show.
