A great performance. I saw them a year or two ago and didn't feel the sort of manic energy that is all over this clip and which made their album reveille their best. I think the drummer replaced his ride cymbal sounds with a closed hi-hat and destroyed all the tension.
I must agree... Greg is one of, if not THE most unique and interesting drummer in the scene today. I'd say he's certainly the most passionate: just look at him go!
re: chippendale and hill, don't get me wrong--I've seen lightning bolt and hella many times, and I think they are both incredible, but I still think greg saunier is perhaps a bit more inventive and multi-faceted. it's a moot point though--all 3 are clearly genius drummers, as is weasel walter.
absolutely kills. fucking amazing guitar interplay. and greg is without question the most interesting drummer on the planet, outside of perhaps weasel walter.

And after meeting him, I can easily say he's one of the nicest drummers on the planet, too.
Very cool guy.
