I can't think of anything worse than standing watching a band play for 2 or 3 hours even if they happen to be your favourite band...

I saw Lambsbread play a 10 mins or so set at ATP and it was fucking fantastic... short sharp and to the point. It is impossible to sustain 100% commitment and passion for even an hour onstage in my opinion. The band owes it to the audience not to go through the motions.

So I think that SY should play shorter sets!!!!!.

But what do I know... I'm just an old Punk ideologist.
