I have avoided going to see the Shins over the years because I know that James is not the best live-vocalist. IMO, he does better on record than in person. That being said, they are a big band for me in my life and the chance to see them play this album was something I jumped at.

This was a good experience. Perhaps not worth the money, but I am glad I made the leap overall. It brought me back to younger days listening to this album and finding such meaning in it. I'm glad they didn't play anything from Heartworms. I don't feel I ever need to see them again. This was the best way to see them at this point in my life. JOSEPH was a perfectly OK opener.
