Concur. At the Rubinoos' I.P.O. show a few years back (at the Troubadour),
Dunbar was absolutely on FIRE. The version of "Rock and Roll is Dead" that
they did that night ranks as one of the finest live performances I've ever
seen. Tommy was an absolute madman on stage, and the crowd loved it.
As far as the rest of the Rubes, Al Chan is also a great vocalist (and a real
gentleman) and Jon Rubin can still hit those high notes like someone is
kneeing him in the groin. Amazing band, and even more amazing live.
