I guess they won't be playing live again. Weak. Seems like a whole other sounds happens live vs what they have recorded. Oh well. :(

It is weak.

The Brooklyn show was insanely good in so many ways - new album, new band, new sounds, tiny venue, cool crowd. Oh yeah, and the free deluxe CD was the cherry on top.

More shows are needed.

I know! Totally weak.

The talk show hosts (Fallon, etc.) take time off in the summer (repeats a plenty, at least that what ), plus isn't Fallon taking over the Tonight Show? Maybe there would be some down time in between that transition. Man, that Brooklyn Bowl show sounded great. Ghost Town - hot! Hope that something happens - mini tour east/west coast tour.

When and where did they record the World Cafe performances? To me, it sounds like they are already transforming the arrangements after only a few live performances!

These were recorded before the Brooklyn show during rehearsals. The host (David Dye) mentioned it on last night's World Cafe before playing Walk Us Uptown (live) during his set.
