This was fun. It would have been great to have had footage of this one.
mmaves – I’m not sure how much the sound picked up (just downloading it now), but the crowd was really excited for this performance. I was there for the show and everyone ate up every second of this one!
Just DLing it now, haven’t listened to it but to share some possible insight of humor (as I was there for this wonderful show): When Janet kissed Craig on the cheek as pictured, she purposely tried (and succeeded) to get a kissing sound out of it. Immediately afterwards a sound queue of a kiss played and everyone played startled and confused perfectly.
If there was ever a time I wished the podcast included the thunderous applause of the audience, it’s for this episode. This was just amazing writing and performing, and I loved listening to minute of it. Thanks to the Ben’s for just getting better and better with each episode!
