This may have come up already, but I didn't see it and I can't emphasize enough how awesome this band is. Only Comets on Fire rivals them for sheer live awesomeness.

I may have to go to this show, based solely on this photo. [/b]
My sentiments exactly. [/b]
What was not captured by this photo is that right after, while still being hoisted above by the crowd, he set his drums on fire. Well of course he did.
The last show DMBQ played (that I was at) was at the Hosiery, which I attended with Sweetcell. Before that, I saw them at DC9 with Kurasawa B/W, and that too had a spectacular ending. During the final jam, the singer slowly dismantled the drummer's kit piece by piece and built an enormous, precarious tower in the middle of the floor. The tower swayed and teetered, but stayed up until the guy took the last piece -- a cymbal -- and from the stage, threw it like a laser shot into the drum tower, and the whole thing collapsed into a big pile of awesomeness. Sadly, the accident referred to happened a few days later, killing the drummer.
