Gnarls Barkley MySpace Show Footage

Reader Jason was lucky enough to get a prime position at Gnarls' MySpace concert at the Roxy yesterday. He nabbed this live footage of "Crazy."

Looks like a lot of fun. Is that Buckethead on bass? (Kidding.)

If you see the dynamic duo at Coachella let us know if they outfunked Madonna. And send us your vids and whatnot from Indio -- we'll collect 'em for those who couldn't be there.

The show at the Roxy was so much fun. It was really clear that Cee-Lo was enjoying performing and seemed genuinely touched by the crowd's manic response. Despite the industry stalwarts at the back tables, everyone at the front danced and gave a warm reception. I fully intend to go check them out at Coachella on Sunday.

It's not you. There's another video of the song (from a less-cool position in the audience), if you search YouTube where the audio's in sync. The person who did that one also captured a couple other songs.

Pee Ess: It's not Buckethead, the whole band's wearing masks. One of the other videos on YouTube from the show (for "Go-Go Gadget Gospel") shows Cee-Lo wearing a vaguely similar one.

I think DM is the one on the bass judging by the haircut.

Nice to see a performance of them, thanks for sharing, just a shame the sync is so far off.

The really neat thing. Almost everyone in the crowd knew all the words. At one point, Cee-Lo said "Okay, here's some new stuff, ain't never been heard before."

And *everyone sang along*.

He got to the end of it and was floored and insanely happy about that. At one point he was speechless and couldn't talk into the mic, just smiling in disbelief.

The show last night was an occular/aural assault. I wasn't really expecting much, knowing that it was probably a good chance for myspace to make some money and Cee-Lo/Dangermouse to get some good live licks in before the big show on Sunday at Coachella. Opening with "Go Go Gadget Gospel," it became quite evident that this was a show, not a favor. The Roxy has a curtain that lifts straight up from the stage (a 90 degree angled stage, jutting into the dancefloor) and as the band stood in place, silent, motionless, everyone began cheering on the Tuxedo'd and white mask'd drummer, string quartet, guitar player, bassist (who I noticed was Beck's bassist after he took off his mask), and 2 male/2 female backup singers. Cee-Lo came out with Dangermouse sitting behind the Roland/Wurlitzer/Moog station, both wearing clown masks. Cee-Lo let everyone know that, in fact, we weren't seeing Gnarls Barkley perform but rather Twig and The Berries. (The genre-hopping/unclassifiable nature of the music just can't stop). The band was hot. Everyone was good looking, Cee-Lo worked the crowd like nobody's business. The man is enormous; his presence impossible to ignore. The band held up with the tightness (especially drums) of a weathered, road-happy band. "Smiley Faces" I remember being a standout song, with Mr. Green draping his microphone over his neck and full on cheesin' it for the crowd, all of whom I'm sure we're smiling back at him. "Transformer" was slowed down considerably, with much success, as it was an opportunity to showcase Green's soulful vocal stylings, unlike the dirge-like version of "Crazy" on Top of the Pops, where the effect was really to showcase the song itself (those strings!). "Crazy" was played after a short intro by Cee-Lo in which he proclaimed, smiling like an animal, "I know what you're here for. Here's your fuckin' single." The thirty-five minute set ended up running at about 40 with people wanting more, of course how could you not, but with a set ending with "Storm Coming" (a "category sixty-nine, or some shit like that") and the album covered from head to (almost) toe as only "Feng Shui," and the album's closer "The Last Time," were omitted from the show. I can't imagine the group being able to play much longer. It was a prefect set, really, held together nicely by all elements on stage, and the shadowy Dangermouse conducting with his eyes and head movements at the back of the stage behind everyone else, refusing at times to even be acknowledged by his partner in crime. Great show, wish I had pictures for you.

They are also playing BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend which is being held in the very glamorous city of Dundee. This is weird on all types of levels if you know Dundee that one of the biggest things to happen to pop music in years are playing there as one of their first gigs but I just hope I get a ticket and can go along.

YouTube has a problem with sync. It's pretty irritating. My band's first show was pretty bad anyway and the out of sync YouTube videos just make it confusing.

For reference...and for plugging...

Is that David Byrne? Did he put on weight? Oh wait, no, that's the sound of me forgetting the lyrics.
