    Didn't see it and wasn't too impressed when I saw what they played this morning but I'll check out the vids. Hope they did something different or new, otherwise it seems pretty un exciting tbh

    ... unless you were there in an intimate venue with your favorite band and other true fans shouting their lungs out less than 10 feet away from stage, while watching the host of the show and his staff all pumped out, realizing this was a special one. :) I have yet to see how that translated to the screen as I didn't watch the complete show last night... but live, just awesome!!



    I've received a few reports that it totally came through on screen :) I think anyone who was there is automatically biased, like me.
    I'm not sure how you can accurately convey how the atmosphere went from a regular run of the mill taping for a talk show into what, for at least 10 minutes anyway, felt like the world's smallest and shortest PJ show, featuring Stephen Colbert. The commercial breaks and editing are just inherently going to lose a lot of it, but that is basically what it was. After MYM the energy just level kept rising and rising, and for a few minutes it was basically exactly where it is midshow for every other show they play. Very hard to really convey what it was like in the place for those few minutes unless you were there. I think if I ever saw them play a full set in that environment they would have to take me out in a stretcher.
    Shhh, don't make people who weren't able to make it cry even more ;)

    I don't remember if I said this here already or not, but the broadcast didn't reflect the crowd's energy and volume. In MYM Ed called for the audience to take the second "Mind Your Manners!" and we did - it was loud, clear, moreso even than at the shows I went to last year. It didn't really come through on the broadcast but you can see his facial expression, that he got the response he wanted.

    I agree Ed definately had that look last night. Loved when he jumped on the audience chairs and ran up a few rows to greet some of us.

    I thought it was a bang-up job for sure.

    Different mix with MYM. They definitely had EV's mic turned down a bit more than usual and you got blasted a lot more with the riff. Then at the beginning of RITFW, EV was gesturing for them to turn his mic up.


    Colbert is an interesting host. I think he will find his groove... but right now he appears a bit stiff and awkward.

    It was his monitors. Not his Microphone

    Just watched - sweet, MYM! :) My favorite song from the album, and they rocked it.
