I wonder if they are getting along any better these days, their documentary was so awkward to watch.

I need to see them!

love this band!

I'd probably perform some unsavory acts I'd later deny in order to see this. I love Doolittle, not because you have to if you want to proclaim yourself an audiophile, but because it's really the embodiment of what makes communities like AP tick. It's quirky, but I can't imagine anyone, regardless of taste, honestly not enjoying it; it's unabashedly catchy, yet one of a kind and ahead of its time. And yet it lies in relative obscurity, a classic in terms of critical acclaim, but under the radar of probably 90% of society, the sheep happy to follow wherever ClearChannel leads. On one hand it's a shame, but that it's appreciated by the relative few makes it all the more special, a rallying point of sorts. I don't think there's really an analog for it today. Critics are always quick to crown the next classic (Merriweather Post Pavilion and such), but they almost all pale in terms of universality. I for one will be spinning Doolittle well into the future -- and I don't think I'm alone there -- and I hope it remains an inspiration for the generations of musicians to come.

even if you don't like the album as a whole, I can't imagine not having one person find AT LEAST ONE track on this album phenomenal...I mean, seeing "Silver" live...ugh....

They seemed to be getting along great at the show in Dallas last Sunday. They were acting genuinely happy to be playing music together.
