I saw Jeff Mangum play on tour last year. I was sitting up on a balcony, in the second to last row, several hundred feet away from him, and he just sat on a stool and played Neutral Milk Hotel songs with some occasional horn/drum accompaniments.

Seriously one of the best shows I've ever been to.

Guessing--hoping--they'll add more locations. I won't be sitting in the back, next time.
