Better than the one from Jingle Ball, if that's even possible. He can never go wrong when he performs this song live, the lyrics already have so much power... and then when he hits those glory notes... just wow. I loved his Permanent here.

It was epic. Man in the Box was like, better than sex. Almost. Permanent, beautiful. Did I mention it was epic? Santa has dropped a few pounds. And gained a Southern accent! :laugh_tb: I was there at the HOB. It was epic. Man in the Box was like, better than sex. Almost. Permanent, beautiful. Did I mention it was epic?

Glad to see it was re-posted. It made me chuckle to watch it again. Funny, I can see many similarities in that interview with the present David than with David in the latter stages of AI. :smile_wp: Ahaha, thanks, Emma! Glad to see it was re-posted.

And yeah, acoustic too! When David smiles near the beginning you can see that he's enjoying himself so much! I remember in one of his earliest AI interviews he said it would be cool to do some Alice in Chains sometime, Man in the Box specifically. A pity that that interview was pulled from YouTube since, and I haven't found it anywhere else. First Hunger Strike, then this. It gives me an emotional rush each time he closes a circle like that.

Great job.</blockquote> I couldn't agree more. I also love the banter that David has with the guys in the band and the fact that he makes a point of giving them shoutouts whenever he can. I thought the performance of "Man in the Box" was amazing (and I've never been crazy about that song). I know it was accoustic but it didn't even sound accoustic! David's vocals are just consistently amazing live. Andy's backup singing was perfect and Neal just rocks on the guitar. Permanent of course was beautiful. Thanks so much for the recaps, Sarah and Shook!
