I saw him play at Sasquatch in 2010 while walking back from the main stage not even intending to see his set (totally respect his talent and really enjoy the pieces he writes musically, but his genre just makes it unlistenable to me), and it was probably one of the most brilliant/memorable performances I've ever seen. I'm generally not impressed by random lighting setups because they're impersonal to the performance. Just set them up, have them go off at certain points of the music and you're done.

Everything on his stage was choreographed down to a T including his own movements, and when the crowd coos and freaks over every single detail (some of us not believing what we were seeing), it just makes it all the more immersive. Even knowing that he puts such detail into his shows doesn't prepare you for what you see. None of the videos I've found online even begin to do it justice.

I didn't get to see ISAM when it came through, but I'd be interested in seeing how they compare in fidelity.

He is uncompromising when it comes to the quality of his live shows. It's clear he cares a lot about them and is trying to master what he does. And wether or not you like his style of music I think that people need to respect that.

Absolutely. I would highly recommend everyone go to one of his performances at least once in your life, even if you think you'll need to put some earplugs in. I was way in the back and at 5'2 I can hardly see through a crowd, but standing on my tip-toes for an extra hour was beyond worth it.
