Here's to hoping they are better prepared than the Children of December affair.

My thoughts are they'll play Old Mythologies. It's around 4mins so they won't have to re-tool the song, Brad can pull his string trick in the intro, and the vocals are easy to nail.

This is great for them... Beggar in the morning is a bit longer but also a possibility.

Just watched it (on a crappy antenna, digital signal moving in and out, we rarely watch TV) and I thought they did well. It was amazing to hear a song Brad & Andrew played by the firepit in our backyard over 3 years ago debuted on national TV! Good work guys!!! Letterman seemed into it, even cracked a joke about the harp.

I noticed that nervousness too. Sounded like he left out a riff or two, probably for time's sake. Overall, I was really impressed. I thought the camera work caught some of the highlights of the band, too, like Andrew bowing the strat (I don't think I'd ever even seen that before).
