These guys are pretty grand, but their live show wasn't good. I saw them open for Lagwagon, and at first I was like, oh nice, Lawrence Arms should put on a good show- but I was disappointed in their live performance. Can't win 'em all, I guess... On a side note, it would've been better to only have two bands than to have offered a third band like a Wilhelm Scream. Fucking terrible...

My personal second favorite band, ever.

And I saw them and they did flawless, not even from a fan's perspective. Not a note was missed, they were very tight, and the energy was good.

Hey, didn't the Lawrence Arms open for Alkaline Trio in the occult roots tour? I missed that fucking show, oh sadness!

Only for the Canadian dates.

And Wilhelm is fucking awesome. They're incredibly tight live, I don't know how anyone could have anything negative to say about them.

3 great bands. Havent had the pleasure to hear Wilhelm live but both lagwagon and larry arms put on a great show. I wish I could have seen this lineup!

The Lawrence Arms are fucking amazing. I saw them at the Troubadour and Brendan was so drunk off his ass that it took him 20 minutes to open his guitar case. Chris and Brendan did 4 shots of whiskey while performing and Brendan shoe kept falling off. I also kept having to hand him his pick because he kept dropping it and couldn't find it because he was so drunk. Even though the concert was not very good musically it is by far the funniest musical display I have ever seen.
