[username]

Just so you don't forget.

How could I possibly forget!!

My butt is so gonna be on the sofa at 11:30....

I'd love to see them or at least Bono is a skit....

 

[oktobergirl]

I wonder if he will be in a skit? didn't one of them do Bono on a previous show?

 

[starsgoblue]

No...they asked Bono to do a Mango skit and he declined.

I doubt he would be. But that'd be so delightful...

 

[korczykp]

I won't be at home to watch it..

but I hope one of you guys will get it recorded on your computer?

 

[RickFly]

i wont miss it for anything. because of work i have had a hard time staying up so i will drink lots of mountain dew.

 

[Roland of Gilead]

Remember that silly article about Larry wanting to get into acting before its too late? Well, lets see if there is some truth to that.

 

[U2Kitten]

Thanks and my VCR died today I'll watch anyway!

 

[gorman]

I can't wait! I'm going to be recording the audio, but I won't have a way to record the video. I'll post it as soon as the performance is over I'm sure the video will show up pretty soon after the show though.

 

[Axver]

A couple of questions;

1. Is there any way I can watch this show in Australia (i.e. online stream)?
2. What time is it actually on? (I'll convert it to my local time myself.)

I probably won't see it, but I'm sure someone out there will have a recording online pretty quickly. Edit: Gorman, just saw your post. You just keep on becoming even more awesome! I'll be looking forward to that audio.

Unfortunately, there is no online stream. Although, if I can arrange it in time, I could Shoutcast my audio feed live. At the very least, I'll post an audio capture as soon as the show is over.

It's on from 10:35PM to midnight central time. It's 9:30PM central time right now.

 

[gorman]

Actually, I'd like to test this out. Axver, do you have AIM? Message me if you could, my screen name is g0rman.

I'd never forget! I"ll actually be waiting outside for the boys!! My friends sister walked past the studio and there's already people camped out!

 

[trevster2k]

Thanks for the reminder. I totally forgot.

Peace out

Ah, Batman. Your secret identity is safe with me.

I found out from a friend of mine who is an SNL stand-by line regular and talks to people from the show that U2 has been rehearsing 3 songs for the show instead of the usual 2 that musical guests perform.

 

[atikicat]

It's likely they may open the show with some spoof on the Clinton library thing...very doubtful that Bono and Edge would participate. It would be great if they did three songs though.

 

[gorman]

Hey... everyone help me test this out and make sure it'll handle the load okay tomorrow night

In iTunes or Winamp, or whatever you use, load the following stream: http://66.54.81.31:8000

In iTunes, go to Advanced -> Open Stream

In Winamp, hit control+l (lowercase L)

This stream is a live feed from my TV's audio. If you tune in now, you'll hear Conan

 

[bono_man2002]

For those of you who wont be able to stream or whatever...

SNL is posted every week on www.tvtorrents.net

thats probabley where i'll get getting it from.

Would that be a SNL first? Or maybe they just haven't picked so they're rehearsing a few...?

I can hear some music, I'm guessing it's from your tv!

Yep, that's whatever band Conan has on right now Glad to hear it's working! This should be perfect for tomorrow night.

Performing 3 songs wouldn't be a first. Paul Mc Cartney did 3 songs in 1993, and Justin Timberlake did 3 songs last year.

Hmm ... I'm not hearing anything and I'm using WinAmp. Are you still running it now? I just tried WMP and it said it couldn't connect to the server. Edit: WMP is giving me this error - "Windows Media Player cannot connect to the server that has the file you want to play; the server is too busy to handle your request at this time. The server may not be powerful enough to handle a large number of connections at a given time.

Try to play the file at a later time."

(By the way, if you still want to contact me on AIM, I'm AmakAxver, though I'm usually on invisible. Worst that can happen is you'll get my away message.)

 

[gorman]

Hmm, it should work, in Winamp at least.

My AIM client doesn't seem to work nicely with invisible users. Try messaging me, if you could... my screen name is g0rman

Hmmm....didn't know that. Then they should definetly play three then.

This is going to come in handy for those of us in the west coast! Thank you, gorman!

 

[gorman]

After having tested it with quite a few people, it seems this will work perfectly! In addition to broadcasting the entire SNL show live, I'll also be archiving the audio in very high quality. After the show is over, I'll create torrents of the individual performances, as well as put up a few copies on yousendit. Now if only someone can do video

I've taken the streaming test offline, but that address will be the same tomorrow, so hang on to it!

U2Log just reported that the band has rehearded I Will Follow, Vertigo, and a third undisclosed song.
