My brother David and I had a great time at the Jonathan Coulton show at the Birchmere on Friday, but we were a bit too far back to snap any pics or vids. So here are some links to vids that others took of the show. I’ll add clips to the list as I find them.

- During the opening act (Paul and Storm), JoCo came on stage to help them sing “Nugget Man” with a camera in his pocket. Also, bonus footage of the Birchmere’s green room!

- There was an e-mail request to do “Soft Rocked by Me” which turned into “Tequila Sunrise”, “Peaceful Easy Feeling”, “Hey Jude”, and very nearly “Come Sail Away”. I love this improv-stream-of-consciousness stuff.

- “Still Alive”, naturally…

- At the end of the show there were so many stuffed animals (and pony-monkey monsters) on stage that he decided to try making a “plush angel” but ended up just cuddling with the pile.

All in all it was a fantastic show, and the crowd made it that much better. In fact, JoCo and Paul and Storm twittered about our greatness. Yay!

PS- Sorry for the Variety-esque title. I wrote “joco show” and the rest practically wrote itself.

Update
A few more vids have been posted on YouTube:

- More complete version of “Soft Rocked by Me”. This one ends just before the video linked above begins, so start with this one to get the full effect.

- “Shop Vac”

- And Paul and Storm doing “The Captain Wife’s Lament” (NSFW-ish)

Also, Paul and Storm have posted on their website a video they made while killing time at the Birchmere which they have titled “Coultonfield”.
