It didn't record on my TV. Was it delayed or something? It cuts off right before the performance.

And I can't find it on the site.

no, it was definitely duncan sheik. they announced that he was playing w/ the band earlier in the show...plus there were 3 guitarists I believe.

"Definitely not Wright, I recorded it, listened 3 times and who ever was off, was off during Wright's " Looks so nasty in those kakis and Bobby Mayler is the Best" He was not singing any back ground vocals during that. So it must have been someone else. "

Um Wright sounded really really odd during Bobby Mayler/Nasty Kakis part. It was DEF off or something. So I wasnt even listening to the background vocals at that point. And that was not the only time they sounded off. It was a total combination of Wright and Glick.

I love this show but this was not a great performance. It's no fun to hear THE BITCH OF LIVING live anymore because the video/cd versions are SO much better. I think this is mostly due to the intense choreography/jumping around and some of those boys just can't hold their part. I think TOUCH ME will be much better for these kind of press events. I'll be watching THE VIEW today for sure!

My thoughts exactly... I watched it on a whim, I didn't even know they were on, but when Dave said it I knew I had to watch.

My first impression was that they were nervous, and I pu myself in their shoes and, hell, its Letterman! But yeah, Wright was DEFINITELY off, as was Glick, IMO. It sounded really weird the whole time... i'm not used to hearing the background so loud over Melchior's part... but yeah, someone was off.

And was it just me, or was John Gallagher's hair INSANE last night? I know its usually like that, but it seemed super strange.

Yeah...they were all defifintely nervous last night, with the exception of maybe Jon Groff and Skylar. During the commercial segment right before they went on they were pretty much all squirming in there seats!

"Jonathan Groff had a really intense look in his eyes tonight!"
Oh my...yes! and I was afraid that Gallagher was going to start laughing!

"I thought I saw Duncan in the back round, but at first I wasn't sure if it was him."
Someone said this already, but yes he was there and they did say something about it during the show. I was really surprised though that they didn't film him, even once! Would have liked to have heard him say something too. We saw him walking down Broadway around 3:00, but away from the theater...

Oh...and just as a correction...the show was all finished filming by 6:35. We wound up walking behind some of the band members from SA on their way back to the theatre, and when I passed the Eugene O'Neil Gerard was just getting to stage door, around 7. Not that I don't think it wasn't tight for the guys, but at least it was more than a half hour.

They didn't seem nervous, some of them just sounded a little off at times. I saw the show last night and they had a load of energy plus the audience was pumped. They got 3 standing ovations! It was awesome. Plus Rosie and Steven Sater were there.

on letterman, the intonation is fine...until skylar comes in sharp. and then wright's sharp, throwing off gideon and the harmonies a bit. the highest harmony that is in falsetto is always flat.

but overall, it was a lot better than i remembered.
