They played super extended intros to most, if not all, songs, which got a little annoying, but they are and will continue to be a phenomenal band live. The setlist was an okay mix from every album and it was very exciting to hear tracks from their self-titled EP and Fever to Tell which is the sound that best defines Yeah Yeah Yeahs. However, I did notice a lull in the crwod when the older sogns came on as opposed to the new 'house' sounding singles. All in all, I love the YYYs ans recommend a first-times to watch them live but will probably not be seeing them again as ithey have evolved into something different than what attracted me to them in the first place.
