They are so freaking great. This is my favorite - "Our Prayer"/"Gee" into "Heroes & Villains":

Apparently, they are still around because the 'Heroes An Villians' is a pretty recent project for them, judging by the date.....

Simply awesome. Talk about tight harmonies. I thoroughly enjoyed this - thanks. I also sat there thinking how old farts like a lot of us could never sing that clear and high anymore! :lol: :?

I must be getting bureaucratic, all I could think of was "I can't even get 3 guys together at the same time, how did they get ALL those people together at once to rehearse???"

They are quite good, but it would be better if they were the ones playing the instruments as well.

Their website says they have a DVD in the works of that performance. Interesting.
