For anyone that has seen the band live, you'll be able to give your opinion on this. I've been watching a bunch of live clips on youtube the last couple of days, and I dare say, they are probably the most sound rock band live I've ever seen.

Would you say they sound so good live because of a raw studio sound with very little "over" production or simply because they're a great live band?

Or, maybe it all stems from Dave Grohl. If you haven't seen any of their stuff live, check them out. As someone who has grown tired of so many live acts today, they impress the hell out of me in concert.
