Brilliant. I stayed-up late after coming home from the pub the night of that gig last summer just to watch it. I think there's a thread with me providing a running commentary as Jarvis' performance progresses.
I've not been able to find footage of the whole gig subsequently which I thought disappointing considering Pitchfork had recorded and streamed live the whole thing. Good stuff!
Thanks for posting that - a great 90 mins just spent watching that! I was particualry interested to see Jarvis giving his support to Obama there - Tim Booth (James) did a similar thing whilst playing in the USA last year. It didn't seem to go down quite so well as Jarvis' attempt! I seem to remember that the band's forum was briefly flooded with angry Americans over a British musician daring to express an opinion on their politics.

You do realize, of course, that most of the angry comments you see on online forums come from one or two unemployed schmucks with nothing better to do than stir up trouble, right?
Tell me about it! I've just had a thread posted to me on my other forum I use, saying 'fucking leave the house once in a while'. Don't laugh. And that's not even the worst of it. I suppose because you have to register to use this this board, it doesn't seem to have degenerated.
Try putting Firefox on your mac, then play it in full then use 'download helper' (something you download from Firefox after downloading Firefox itself) it should work :)
