I never saw OMD live, but I was very disappointed in <a HREF="http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Ozark_Mountain_Daredevils_1980_Reunion_Concert_Rhythm_Joy/70069814?trkid=64596" rel="nofollow">this concert DVD</A> from 1980, which I watched last weekend.I still listen to the OMD's first three records, though. Three very fine records in a row.

While listening, there were a number of times I was reminded of the old Ozark Mountain Daredevils...except more evolved.Perhaps it's only the strings and instrumentals, but I do hear similarities.
