I saw him last winter in Pittsburgh with Jim James of My Morning Jacket and a relative new-comer on the folk scene, M. Ward. All three performances were absolutely amazing. Conor tore it up as he usually does. He wasn't an asshole at all, he got the crowd into the music. At the end, all three performers came out and sang "Girl From the North Country," one of my favorite Bob Dylan tracks (from Nashville Skyline).
The new albums are fantastic in my opinion. Conor Oberst is one of the best lyricists around today, which is definitely evident on both albums.
