I'll be posting it to Born Dirty as quickly as possible tonight. Since I'm in Hawaii though, that already puts me several hours behind the rest of the nation.

From @jimmyfallon on Twitter an hour ago:

@underworldlive's performance tonight. Pretty amazing.

Maybe the band will have a packed house, if they don't already, for the NYC show from being on the TV tonight.

DAMN IT! my dvr cut off near the end. i'll have to watch the end online when it comes on.

so, to put it shortly, their performance was fantastic. however, they weren't really mentioned until the end of the show when they played, because huey lewis showed up, and all through the show huey lewis was playing with the roots, and they kept emphasizing that huey lewis was there and it was pretty annoying. the people in the seats behind the UW guys looked like they were having a great time grooving. the people in the main audience (you could only see them a little bit) seemed a bit still, but the DVR cut off right before the song ended, so maybe they all loved it.

all i know is that i hope this is just the beginning of US exposure for the guys, and not the end. it was a great deal that they got onto jimmy fallon, and i hope they can keep going with it.

Just saw the promo commercial for Fallon's show...the first few seconds is Jimmy dancing with Karl before they talk about who else is on the show.

Jimmy Fallon has in the passed been a backup singer when Ringo Starr played and when they had something called Yacht Rock with Robbie Dupree singing Steal Away.

Was a great performance. Hopefully the door is blown wide open to a new set of fans. Jimmy Fallon seemed to really enjoy it, and they got a big cheer at the end. Plus the sound and picture were fantastic in HD. Looked like UW is a fan of The Roots.

My review, I was in the first row of the main audience (I did not get the band bench tickets)

Quick review/random notes of the whole show:
-It was cool meeting Malt Refund before the show, but was scared by my photographic memory (which is why I usually lurk at all UW gatherings)
-Roots did not all seem to like Joan Rivers racists jokes.
-Huey Lewis was a bit shocked that Juliette Lewis did not mention him.
-When Juliette Lewis mentioned Google to hear her music, Jimmy quickly said, yeh "Bing it" (Hello MSNBC)
-Contrary to twitter, pr, etc... before UW started at all, my wife and I mouth read comments that Jimmy said to Huey Lewis about Underworld not being a "real band and musicians" like him (Huey) and The Roots. wow, ignorance.

Underworld came out
-They tried to start, they didn't - Karl quickly said through processed vocals to Jimmy: "Don't ever work with children, animals or computers"
-they tried to start again, Karl said "it's that children and animals thing, again"
-they tried a third time, and this time they got it the ALAF up and running.
-the audience seemed to be confused by UW and their multiple starts, I really felt bad. but the audience did groove...
(also note: i was the one who yelled when Jimmy said "they were the best electronic band in the world")
