I saw them in Toronto. They are not only good for laughs, they are great musicians. These guys are real entertainers and treat much of the night like a musical. Expect some covers of some classic songs. I got some Zeppelin and The Who covers. They also cover a lot of Beatles as well. My advice to any type of D fan would be to check them out

I have 2 pairs for the Seattle show.
What covers did they do?
"Good Times, Bad Times"
"Pinball Wizard/Theres A Doctor/Go to the Mirror"
I have seen that they covered some Beatles like "Carry that Weight" and "the End" as well

I'm seeing the D in a few days. They toured in '02 here & were amazing.
How different is the show now? - in terms of accoustic/electric & 'stage show' effects.

start acoustic and then get a backing band. As for the effects, see for yourself
