Scott McCaughey and a plethora of Seattle musicians praise You Am I's live shows. Scott states:

I think Kim Thayil of Soundgarden first told me about You Am I. First time I saw them was at CBGB-the Fellows might have been on the show or I might have just gone to see them on a night off, I can't remember. I was blown away by the songs and the energy. I figured they were destined to near-immediate hugeness. I guess it never quite materialized over here and it's hard to fathom. The latest album [2006's Convicts] shows how much they still have to offer-killer songs with the early Replacements often coming to mind and still slipping in that masterful Ray Davies melodic flair. What's not to love?
