Keane is one of the stand-out bands to come along in the last few years. I've only watched 2 of the live tracks so far on this video, but those tracks alone makes this a worthwhile endeavor. I still have no idea where the bass is coming from (off-stage somewhere? Or maybe somewhere only they know….maybe I'll watch one of the four included documentaries), but who cares. These performances capture an energetic young band in their prime. You can almost see into the future - when they're playing at some VH1 event, and they transpose their songs because he can no longer hit the high notes in concert - and it makes you enjoy the now of Keane that much more. And this double disc is loaded with material…off you go.
