Letterman 12/18/08

I saw them on Letterman the first time (2007) but didn’t get it recorded. Does anyone have a copy I can get or at least know the song they played?
Thanks

Wait! I just saw something about them being on Conan in April of ’07…I swear it was Letterman…maybe both!? Anyone know?

Meh…
Umm first off I’m the biggest oM fan I’ve ever met, so I’m not “hatin” on you guys or anything. But frankly I was dissapointed by the performance. The band just looked kind of stiff and out of place. And all the extra stuff going on behind wasn’t really working for me. I saw you guys live in LA and thought it was the most amazing thing ever, and this performance just seemed like a cheap half assed reproduction. I understand that there were obviously constraints since you were on Letterman, but I guess I was expecting something better. I guess I’ve just come to expect non stop amazingness…

No worries though, still more in love with of Montreal than I care to admit. And if nothing else hopefully the show was interesting enough to get some new people to youtube you and see how much more amazing you usually are.

Great performance, I love the live horns, gorgeous song… All the way from the 40 watt to David Letterman, congratulations, damn what a journey you’ve made. I’ve seen you guys live every tour in Athens for the past 4 albums, this time was the best. Top notch performance, great stage presence, and the theatrical presentation fuckin rocks out. Can’t wait to see you again, wish I could be in Athens on New Years.

You guys are so amazing! Come back to Dallas soon!

You all looked and sounded amazing. I was really diggin’ the surprising amount of clothing that Kevin was wearing. I wonder…does Kevin does the make up himself? Either way, it’s fantastic. Congrats, guys!

I pulled 48 hours of no sleep studying for finals and power drank some Coca-Cola to stay up for the show and it was the perfect break from the books. You all are so amazing and after discovering your music my freshmen year it has been a joy to have in my life. My grandma taped the show for me just in case I didn’t make it and she told me in the morning that she certainly got a kick out of the giant moving man in the background, haha. Good luck and congratulations to you, I’m so very happy for you and your many successes this year.

Awesome Letterman set!!! less clothing next time!!!

Amazing job out there! Kevin looked great!

You guys were great on Letterman! I absolutely adore everything you have done and think your concerts and skeletal lamping collection are brilliant. Come back to Boston soon!!

Hope you have a very merry Christmas and fun time at the 40 watt on new years!

I set up my digital TV antenna just so I could watch. My hubs and I were surprised to see Kevin in so much clothing for so long…although it was fabulous analogous purpleness with red patent wonder. We were just so thrilled and proud to see you all on a show with such broad reach!
Can’t wait to see you again live on the 30th AND 31st!!

Judging by the comments here and general OM chatter, Kevin seems to have painted himself into a corner with the whole charade of nudity and theatrics.

How long will it last?

Based on history alone, Kevin doesn’t stick to the same thing for very long.

I’ll guess it will be interesting to see which last longer, Kevin’s “I’m sexual all the time” phase or the adoring audience once/if he moves on to other artistic venues.

Maybe one has to do with the other…

Great. I was pleasantly surprised at how great “Skeletal Lamping” is, all the way through. Perfect performance too on Letterman too. The horns made it. Too much Bueno.
