Letterman blew me AWAY.

Not sure about the guitar player. I saw him in Nashville, wasn't to thrilled. He doesn't fit the band. Looks like he might fit in with Bon Jovi. His playing is not what it should be either.

Jay looked and sounded nervous...his high notes were strained...its an alright song but it really needs to be hit out of the park to shine...a "C" performance...maybe with Dave on the gong things will pick up

the Letterman performance was OK...

I have a great compilation of Trace era performances from a Master Beta tape from MTV Networks (I used to work there)...3 or 4 takes each of Tear Stained Eye, Windfall, Route, a few more...Mike Heidorn is playing with brushes on a cardboard box...and there's 2 really classic interviews with the whole band...the VJ's are unfuckinbelieveablyhorrible innane and clueless...and the band knows it...it's the raw tape and it's classic...runs about 2 hours...from 1996 or so.

If anyone wants to trade for it...send me a message.

There's a thread by Shuck further down, you can get it there.

I wouldn't say the performance blew me away, but I was happy to see that Jay wasn't looking at his feet the entire time.

He added keyboard to every song they played at the Bowery, except Route (and Tear Stained Eye, but that was just Jay.) It fits in surprisingly well, considering there aren't keyboards on the album versions of most of the songs.

Oh wow, is there even that much keyboard on the album?

Was the guitar solo kind of washed out for anyone else or was it just my TV? I thought it was a great performance, Jay's voice was a bit wobbly but really cool. I dug it. I dvr'd it of course.

I think the keyboard player is going on tour. He played the Bowery Show and the WFUV show too.

I doubt the keyboard player is going on tour, probably just for the show. But if he does go on tour, we could get a full band version of World Waits for You!
I also noticed Jay's wobblyness. I think he was just nervous, it sounded fine, and is understandable. When was the last time he played on TV? Has he ever played for a TV audience that large?

Good performance, but it sounded like Jay's voice was a little wobbly at times. Chris Frame is awesome, but we all knew that. Only thing I'm not sure about is the keyboard player. Just doesn't feel right having a keyboard player in the band even if it is just for the tour. I'd rather see Heywood along so they could mix in more of the older stuff.
