DCFC played a 3.5 minute version of Possess Your Heart on Letterman last night. I was very impressed. I feel given that Narrow Stairs was in large part tracked live, its going to translate a lot better live on TV than songs like Soul Meets Body did.

Dave clearly dug it too given his reaction afterwards. Unlike Leno who pretends to be impressed with everything, its usually pretty obvious when Letterman actually likes a band or movie.

Letterman kicks leno ass... is this up on the net yet?

It's kinda strange to think that this was their first letterman performance.

Ah, Kasper, for the record, this was the second time on Letterman :^)

It's up on P4K for the time being...

Ok it was, because i wasn't sure? I tried scrolling through all the late night tv appearances i had seen and i couldn't remember them doing letterman. Was it for Plans?

EDIT: Oh right, "Crooked Teeth"! Of course.

Yes, they played "Soul Meets Body"

Damn, that performance kicked ass. They sounded totally tight and Ben's vocals were completely on. Miles of improvement over their late night performances promoting Plans. SO why was there no board topic about this before it happened?

Nah it was Crooked Teeth (as i mentioned in my edited post above)... had forgotten how good that song is until i found the clip again!

Hmmm, I'm probably thinking of the Conan show then.

Jason Mcgerr grooves like no other rock drummer!

Word.

And how badass does Nick look at the end of the song?

haha seriously, he's sporting the curly forehead hair AND the beard AND he sings back-up. AWESOME.

Here is the performance for those, like me, that missed it!

I find the band often misses it during on-air TV performances. This sounds just great!
