I love Morrissey's music but Beirut seems way more fun live. Has anyone seen them?

I saw Beirut at Sasquatch last year on the main stage, very fun to watch.
A unique band I must say, the accordion is wild.

I've gotta go Beirut, like the Hold Steady, I know too many people who go see them everytime they are in town
Personally, I haven't seen either, and while Morrissey is a far superior "songwriter/lyricist," he's got nothing on ZC in terms of melody, and that Beirut kid is just a savant with the horn lines. Also, looks like a good chunk of Morrissey's set is going to come from the new album which is just Okay...
So as much as it's going to suck missing How Soon is Now, as long as Beirut's show isn't dominated by the Zapotec half of the new double EP, I can't imagine myself not enjoying Beirut more...I'm in for Beirut for the full set.

I'm choosing Beirut. I've seen Morrissey before and Coachella is all about seeing new bands. You'll probably be able to catch the last song or two of Moz
