Damo on Conan

[Angela]

Stayed up way too long, but it was worth it.


They performed .... No! Not "Vocano"!"Cold Water"! Damien bathed in blue light, Lisa looking her dew drop beautiful self. I thought that was a courageous choice. It was beautiful!


Off to bed...

[Mo Mo]

Ah cripes. Well since my thread'll be gone by tomorrow, let me just post here :-p


I know I was so happy he played that song... it's currently my fave on the album. I just really need more Tomo close-ups! :-D

[rosshudgens]

yeah, i feel like sh*t right now.


for staying up so late.


but he was good, it's good to see him getting some exposure, even if it's at 1:30.

[Gryn]

Thanks to Conan's show.. I am a new fan. God Damien's stuff is good.. and Lisa.. oh my GOD. She's as beautiful as her voice.

[LisaOBrien]

my eyesburn and i feel like i didnt go to sleep...but IT WAS SO WORTH IT....they were great! cold water was such a great choice and wow...it was just great...and who needs to work anyway ill sleep at my desk......<img border="0" src= "smileys/smiley4.gif">

[ShLeY]

Did anyone get a copy of it for download?

[FredDaNinjaPunk]

Yah it was good alright. I can't wait to see him live finally...But gettin up at 6 this morning was hell after sitting throughseveral hours of bad bad, SO VERY VERY BAD talk shows last night. Do they actually think that they are funny? And I thought we couldn't get any worse than Gay or Pat. And what's with the commercials over here?? They take a break just after the opening credits and just before the closing credits!! Whats that all about? Only for Conan the Librarian to end the show without even asking Damien a question!!


Sorry, as you can see I'm not a morning person. I went off on a bit of a tangent there. It was definitely worth it. Great song, smashing performance...and Lisa....WOWW

[Angela]

I am sooooo trired today! And I have to go to the dentist. Ugh <img border="0" src= "smileys/smiley6.gif">

[administrator]

yeah hopefully i'll have an mp3 and realvideo file of this performance soon. thanks again to dan for that.

[Scon]

What channel were those posting from Ireland watching it on? I thought only CNBC showed Conan? Don't tell me I missed it live )c:

[administrator]

don't think it was shown in ireland, they're all in the usa i think. scon, i hear you're a howie day fan, we should get him over here sometime, he sounds really good

[Scon]

Good to hear, just gota fright there (c: Big Howie Day fan yep, I saw him the only time he's played here back in March 02 and was a fantastic show. Reallynice guy too. I've been petitioning for a return since then but no luck yet )c: He did support Tori Amos on her UK tour a few months agobut she never came over here. (btw, this is 'trying to help site helper type person' Conor.)

[dyermaker73]

hehe word gets around fast doesn't it connor ;)


anyway, i thought the performance was just lovely... and well worth staying up and missing lots of sleep forwork over :) damien's and lisa's voices are pretty live!! i thought they were giong to play delicate or volcano, but cold water was a nice surprise... and now i've got my sister hooked on damien! :)

[administrator]

oh, it's you! hi conor! must e-mail you properly tomorrow. yeah, i think he'd do really well over here. i don't know too much of his stuff, but i love sorry, so sorry.


and hi laura! yeah, cold water is one of my favourites, especially when they go into the chanting bit at the end sometimes with lisa singing "am i lost" over and over.

[Scon]

I should have introduced myself properly now that I think of it. I like his album, but it's nothing compared to his live stuff. I can sort you out with some bootlegs if you're interested? Try and get your hands on his newer 'Madrigals EP' if you can, it has a great 30 min long live DVD with it.
Indeed it does Laura, I converted most of my friends to him a long time ago (c:

[Gatsby]

heard a nasty rumour that the show will be on cnbc europe on sunday at 8:45... total rumour for an unreliable source but ill try check out the website...

[micko]

How's it going?


Since Damien went on Conan O'Brien I have been getting e-mails from my website ( www.damienrice.net ("")) Thinking that I am Damien. I have been offered beds and dinners in Chicago, New York and Boston. It's a pity that I'm not him or I'd never have to pay for a Bed &amp; Breakfast in America again !!! Does this happen to you Emmet ???

[administrator]

no, but now i'm jealous!

[daol20]

Am i the only person in here that doesnt have a website!!!!??????? <img border="0" src= "smileys/smiley5.gif">

[Shoover]

loved the switch to cold water. thought their performance on theconan's show was alot better than the letterman show. lisa kept her eyes open this time.


her and damo drove me nuts during letterman, because they were so introverted and barely opened their eyes.with the tv already creating a distance, and then performing withtheir eyes closed most of the time, it was hard for me to enjoy it as much as thelive shows where the audience is much more a part of the performance.

[sgallagher27]

Hi everyone... I'm an American who considers himself "on top" of the new music scene (which is a pointless and self-defeating comment, considering the splintered nature of music today)... and I saw Damien Rice on Conan. It was my first time of ANY exposure to him &amp; his music. I'd never even heard the name before.


As can be expected (especially considering the crowd I'm talking to here <img border="0" src= "smileys/smiley1.gif">) I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY! I'm not the type to use bulletin boards, but I had to find more info about such an amazing artist, and it's led me here. I've downloaded a bunch of songs from "O" which will be my temporary fix till I buy the album (don't know the situation in the EU, but here the recording industries are starting to actively pursue and destroy music fans for downloading songs... another symptom of dysfunctional commercialism).


Here in the US there definitely needs to be more exposure for Rice... I can't begin to express how welcome a "new" voice he offers to this crass music scene!

[damofan1]

That was cool seeing him on conan,goin mad i missed his gig in the bowery ny at the start of the summer,tickets were sold out. goin to see him 15th sept ...cant wait

[billy]

great performance, caught it halfway through, was bummed i didnt see it all the way through, truley outstanding. haveseenhim perform a little better which is amazing in itself. damien rices music knocksme flat from the first chord, when i hear it, its like gandolfs expression when frodo volunteers to take the ring. up the lillywhites !

[administrator]

you can watch it again now on the live recordings page, thanks to dan again for the files!

[UpDaHoops]

Just watched the Realvideo file of the Conan show "Cold Water" (cheers Emmett &amp; Dan!)... WOW.


It's better than the album version I reckon! Damien and Lisa's voices have never sounded so beautiful....

[Angela]

I think the most beautiful I've ever heard Lisa in recorded form was on "Other Voices" (apart from her killer solos). If only I could hear her in real live, but I guess that isn't going to happen <img border="0" src= "smileys/smiley6.gif">

[Sionna]

Dont worry Angela,it'll happen!Be patient,she'll get to the states sometime,or you could come over here,go see Damo and Lisa and have a nice little holiday! <img border="0" src= "smileys/smiley4.gif">

[Angela]

Aw, thanks, Sionna. I'm sure she'll come some time next year maybe. I guess I'm just worried it will be in a bigger venue. I'm just excited the band is coming this time! And the Frames in October - yeaaaah!!!!! <img border="0" src= "smileys/smiley4.gif">

[daol20]

OH The Frames!! Best at Witnness!!! You'll love it!

[bumblebee]

Hey, Angela, I know what you mean....


I'll be seeing Damien in October here also &amp; I'm really bummed about Lisa not being there with him this time around. I'm sure it will still be an incredible show, though. Looking forward to it!
