I've been trying (but not very hard) to see the setlist from their recent VH1 thing. It looks like they did No Son of Mine, Turn It On Again, and Los Endos, and Los Endos didn't air, but was for internet only. Anybody got the scoop, or have cable TV and see it?

the broadcast had them open with TIOA,and then NSOM.i think robin william's introduction was as long as one of their songs.they sounded great,as expected,but there wasn't much enthusiasm on display. Keane covered "that's all" pretty well. did anyone notice when Heart played,if that was the original guitarist and bassist of the band? i thought they were excellent. i pretty much fast-forwarded throo the rest of the show...

The ZZTop cover was also pretty good.

But I agree, the telepromptper read intros by the movie stars was a waste. After the first one, I also FF'ed through the rest.

Thanks guys!

Woody, no that was not Howard Leese on guitar.

Did anyone else notice they tuned TIOA down a half-step?

"Did anyone else notice they tuned TIOA down a half-step?"

Why on EARTH would they do that?

Keane covered "That's All"? Wow, that's awesome. I wonder if it's on YouTube . . .

keane are one of my favorite newer bands...now if they would just get a bass player...

Phil's brought a lot of songs down a few steps in the last 15 years. His voice is obviously not what it used to be. Just check out Seriously Live (1990) and First Farewell Tour (2004?) to hear a remarkable difference.

Well noted Jason - yes indeed, quite a remarkable difference!

They pitched quite a few things lower when Ray Wilson was singing with them. Even on the tour before, the end of Driving The Last Spike was dropped a tone so that Phil could reach the high notes. As Sure as Eggs is Eggs has been a tone lower when performed live since the SEBTP tour.

Good ears, Jon. And I Can't Dance from the 92 tour was one whole step down. And Invisible Touch too I think.
