the youtube vid of 'rainbow connection' is from my camcorder.  i left chicago this morning and we're driving home to portland. when i get there i can get it uncompressed off of the tape and upload it.  just need to know where.

Wow, rainman! you drove from portland, sweet!
I still need to get your video uploaded but I can help get the lolla one up as well...

THanks for taping it!

unfortunately, 'rainbow' is the only one of the 2 jim did on the kidz stage that we were able to film.  we did film (on tripod) the screens during the main set, though.  it'll have people walking around.  i'm hoping someone got audio.  i know a few tapers were there and will ask around.

yeah...im a pearl jam fan.  we travel far and wide for that band!  i'm really glad the mmj were at lolla.  they're fantastic!  i was disappointed that their name wasn't on the webcast or xm list!

rainman, that's just lovely. Pristine. Thanks so much.

I've had this song on repeat for about the last 15 minutes or so, and Edward, a friend of my roommate's just wandered into my room - "Who is that?!" Love it love it when that happens:)

I vaguely remember the Muppets, but they were not a huge part of my childhood. I've heard Willie Nelson's and Sarah McLaughlin's covers of this song and I appreciate them, but they never really stuck. Leave it to Jim's lovely, liliting voice to completely reinvent this song for me.

And I love this recording - the guy about 2:30 in going, "This is a good song." A bit dumbfounded, like he wasn't expecting anything special, only to find himself sucker-punched by the "all of us under its spell" part. He regains the power of speech in the next verse and comes up with "This is a good song." I hear ya. Sitting at my desk a thousand miles away I was thinking the same thing. Lovely. Loverly.

Thanks again to all of y'all offering up these recordings.

Sweeeeeet!  Thanks!

Yes, thank you.  I heard about this performance while waiting for them to come on stage after kings of leon.  I was so disappointed, but glad I got to hear/see it via internet.
