Critic Consensus
Based on 15 concert reviews, the critic consensus is that Sparklehorse is rated as a subpar live performer, with forgettable shows overall. Sparklehorse concert reviews describe live shows and performances as poetic and amazing.
Sparklehorse was an American alternative rock band formed in 1995 and led by Mark Linkous (September 9, 1962 - March 6, 2010), a Richmond, Virginia native and last of a long line of southern coalminers. Linkous recorded much of Sparklehorse's material in his home studio, and his Southern Gothic vision guided Sparklehorse.

Welcome to the world of Sparklehorse where the glockenspiel never stops and no one dares raise their voice.
Sombrely flaunting Sparklehorse's ascetic melancholy tonight he devoutly sprinkles buttercup melodies and tin can riffs over the salivating Liquid Room.
I had been excited about seeing Sparklehorse for a while now, having never had the opportunity before, and this whole week leading up to the show I'd been on a big-time Sparklehorse marathon.
