There was major damage control at MTV after the how they screwed up the
live show - I'm sure everyone is doing last minute scrambling -
including getting on the schedule.

I hope this shows up on DVD at some point. I recorded the original
MTV airing (very chopped up, but maybe they played some songs in their
entirety), and MOST of this uninterrupted redo. Accidentally I did exactly what
I feared -- started recording on the wrong channel.

The performances are up on aol's web site, though I don't see a way to
just play it continuously (you have to switch from song to song),
and actually there's something screwed up with their quicktime movies -- weird
screeches every once in a while.
