He talked about this performance in his book. John legend got him to put his cigar out but he lit it back up. he rips him to shreds. E is a legend and an awesome human being. and his music speaks for itself...
Jools could stand to do a few situps but he's a decent musician and he has featured the Eels on his show four (4) times so he gets my respect and admiration. Throw in appearances by Joanna Newsome, the Fratellis and The Magic Numbers and I would be happy to buy him a beer any time he's in NYC.
As for the Eels, they can do no wrong in my book. Check out "Railroad Man" also here on YouTube from the same show. A stellar performance of a powerful tune!
I heard that the lyrics were about one of the mans roadies, who's dad used to tell him and his brother to stand at a bus stop, and whenever someone looked at them they were to beat them up.
just discovered Eels bloody marvellous!

Top Tune by a great song writer.
Its a shame about jools holland being such a false squeezed wanka (He's a jealous no mark)
Eels have quality.

I love how different the music is to the album. its like listening to a new song and its great

agreed, the live versions (especially the ones with strings) have a different character and it's like being treated to a new song.
I love the live versions of this song, 'Not Ready Yet' and 'I'm Going to Stop...' but prefer the studio version of Flyswatter; I have no idea why...
