Haven't yet, but I'm going tonight.

I saw them about a year an a half ago and they completely blew my
expectations away. The show stared with the "lead" male singer on stage
reciting REALLY REALLY bad poetry while some decent ambient music played
in the background. At that point I had the feeling the whole show was
going to suck. Then Lamb came on. It was the first time I heard them. They
were OK. Then, finally, Gus Gus came on. It was one of the best mixes of
audio and video I'd ever seen. Much better live than on the album. The one
thing I couldn't stand was the woman who just flailed around trying to
look like Bjork. But, anyway, I'm pissed that I'm going to miss the Boston
show.
