The Pops help rock Letterman show
A day after playing with Bernadette Peters and celebrity stand-in Arnold Palmer, Keith Lockhart and 13 Pops players headed to NYC to do David Letterman's show with ragged rockers My Morning Jacket. (They dressed up for the occasion.) ``Three letters -- Wow," said drummer Patrick Hallahan after performing ``Gideon." ``I can't wait to get 100 of them behind us." (MMJ plays with the Pops at Symphony Hall June 21 and 22.) Said Pops arranger Patrick Hollenback: ``If they play with half the energy they had tonight, it'll be a great show." .

Apparently they do not know what they are in for, unless he is worried about the energy level of the Pops.

Those will be some great shows. Do the POPS allow taping?

"By My Car" would be awesome with some strings!

ah, I'm waiting on it to download right now.  I woke up this morning with this horrible feeling in my stomach - half vodka/half missing the letterman performance...........NOW, I think everything will be OK.  Thanks Deanna!!!!  You saved the day.

If there is a kind and loving God smiling down on us, then yes.

>...speaking of which, how great would Strangulation be?

I didn't see the very end of Letterman - did he have anything to say about the performance?

Both of the links that I've seen for downloading the video are currently broken.  Could someone who has it kindly upload to YouTube or GoogleVideo and pass along the link?  I would be eternally grateful.

EDIT:  I was just able to get it from SendSpace, so I'll see if I can post it on YouTube.

OK, Here you go:

Play this at high volume to get the full effect. This was SO amazing......the intensity of the performance.......but mostly the timeliness right now of the LYRICS.......truly incredible.

He had Z in his hands and said something like, "that was really something wasn't it Paul"  Then he and Paul repeatedly said "My Morning Jacket", "My Morning Jacket".  He seemed impressed.  With all the shitty performers Dave has on, you could tell he enjoyed the Jacket with the Pops, but how could he not?

Dave hardly ever mentions an artist after they've performed other than thanking them along with all the other guests.  They must have left an impression.

.........

if the two boston shows are not taped, an amazing treasure will be lost to the world forever.  that performance rocked.  i can't imagine a full orchestra behind them.

Agreed.  Imagine an entire SET of them with the pops.  It truly would be a magical evening.

[JacketGal]

Agreed.  Imagine an entire SET of them with the pops.  It truly would be a magical evening.

That would be epic!!!! And I'm sure it was taped!

[EC]

i can't even believe what i just saw.  i had no idea that they would be playing with the boston pops on letterman (i never went in this thread).

i can't believe that.  that is one of the greatest things i've ever seen.  you boston people are going to have your lives changed, i think.

oh my goodness.
