A little over a year ago I saw The Go! Team do a show for the 20th anniversary of Thunder, Lightning, Strike and it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to.

Every member of the group was 100% there for this show. Somebody else mentioned that they played their instruments like they'd rented them. Guys were throwing down their guitars to sprint across the stage to play the 2nd drum kit like they didn't care what happened to the guitar or their bodies. The singer, Ninja, crowd surfed, the trumpet player looked like she was having the time of her life. The crowd was fully into it when Ninja split the room to have us sing different parts.

I feel bad for anybody who missed out on this tour.
