I had a hunch we would be seeing this happen this year but was elated to find out it was happening so soon!

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).
