it occurred to me that perhaps the mac wasn't into the whole tv thing. here they are, together for the first time in ages, and suddenly Warner Bros and NBC hatch this big publicitity deal that has them singing a few scattered songs on random tv shows. why not perform a whole set and show it as a primetime special, a la the dance? then the record buying public could see them really get into it as the performance rolls along, instead of seeing a couple stray performances during which the band probably wasn't completely warmed up. not only would a televised concert mean great exposure (i bet it would get killer ratings), but a dvd release of the concert would probably go gold if not platinum. and a televised concert just seems more legit/less crass than appearing on two of TV's highest rated talk shows.
btw, did anybody catch friends thursday? i understand a FM song was to be played, but i missed the show. was one played? was it the whole song or just a snippet?
