Now that a live show by some act you've never heard of costs more than minor surgery, I find that I'd rather gamble the $10-15 on the cd... if i like it i can listen to my hearts' content and if not, it has decent trade-in value. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed Low's show last year in Boise; they definitely give it their all live. The only complaint is the constant chatter in the audience... a group of teenage girls in front of me spent a good deal of the concert LOUDLY discussing their later plans and cell-phoning friends, and this group was by no means an anamoly in the audience.
