The band's first live DVD was the Alien Youth DVD, which featured an acoustic performance. Comatose Comes Alive was recorded on May 9, 2008, in Chattanooga, Tennessee and was released on October 21, 2008. The album is a CD of the concert's audio and a DVD capturing the live show.

They certainly put on a good set. Nice, in contrast to bands that can't hold a tune live.

[@sev00177]

@gogotide sometimes they substitute the intro of some songs when they play live. it adds a bit of a twist for the audience, same way extending a certain part or adding a solo to a song that doesn't have one on the album does.

[@wolfsynchron]

@Puggyz2 That is very true. Jesus is the life of all living things.
