I highly recommend downloading these two gigs for high quality viewing, all files hosted by the most wonderful Andrew Kendall:
1 - Live at the Kentish Town Forum

On a related note, Andrew Kendall is responsible for some very, very, very pr0ny aesthetically pleasing photography of the boys. The most classic example being (arguably) this.
