[EgoTesticle]

To the drunken hipster doofuses who stood around yelling at each other all night and texting your drunk friends .....

... You are complete and utter douchebags

[zutronics]

You missed covers "The Wanderer" by Dion and "Islands in the Stream" by Dolly/Kenny R in there somewhere.  Also, first song was "Move on Up" by Curtis Mayfield and "You're all I need to get by" by Marvin Gaye/Tammi Terrell was the other duet w/Nicole Atkins.  Sick sick sick.

No Steam Engine, but I'll get by... hot damn what a show!

[TEO]

I'll bet that WC, Highly, Cobra hitch was fuckin' nutz!

[zutronics]

Also worth mentioning that during the intermission that they played some rad videos, notably featuring the Star Spangled Banner (or was it god bless america?).  It was an amazingly uplifting moment - the arena all sang together at once.  

[ultravisitor]

"You're All I Need to Get By" with Nicole Atkins?  Fuck, that would be awesome to see.

I got "Steam Engine", "Where to Begin", and "Sooner" this past weekend, though, so I'll live.

[zutronics]

The other clip was from "The Great Dictator" w/Charlie Chaplin (gets awesome at 1:38)...

My first post...so forgive me.

However, I just got home from the NYE show at MSG, and while I thought it was unbelievably awesome, I'm wondering why Islands in the Stream was chosen.  A great boy/girl duet that would have worked better would have been "Don't Go Breaking My Heart."  Islands in the Stream was a buzzkiller.

IMHO.

oh my.

they covered "express yourself"?  unreal.

[peafunk31]

Some unbelievable covers thrown out. Didn't get my Steam Engine, but I cannot complain at all. Tonight kicked my ass   \m/-.-\m/  !!!!!!!
