The video entitled "Then and Now" in the media section of the homepeage has some new footage. The new parts of the video include concert footage of Jon singing "Beautiful," "Man Like Me," "If I Go Away," and "Burning in Hello." In addition, the video contains new comments from Jon's cousin/Simon Dawes guitarist Blake Mills, from Jon's album and concert drummer Ian Hendrickson, and from another of Jon's album drummers, Craig Macintyre, who also drums for Josh Groban.
The video contains so many terrific things. One of the things I really liked was the way the video kept jumping from one concert scene to another while Jon is singing "I'm still waiting, I'm still waiting, I'm still waiting" repeatedly.

That is a great video! Gotta love Sky and what he said.. ("He can sing 'Mary Had a Little Lamb' and make it phenominal, he's phenominal.")
Watching the video makes me want to get in my car and drive to Harvest Fest tomorrow and meet up with Orange! But I can't, I have too much going on at home. :-/

If it was a little closer I could do it, but my weekend is kind of packed already with family and friends stuff.

Wow, I learned alot by watching the video; like who Jon's bandmates are. He's got a great time, I think! "I love "Man Like Me" live, it sound so beautiful the way Jon sings it. I love that song; it's one of my favorites; it's such a great song. "Beautiful" was just haunting. I just loved watching this video; is it possible to fall in love wiht Jons' singing all over again-yes!
Still can't pick a fav song from the album...lol. Right now I am listening a lot to "Burning In Hello" and "The Ukelele Song". I sure wish he'd let us hear a full version of "Mad Science", though. I love that song and I've never even had the chance to hear the whole thing. I could just kick myself for missing Spudfest...lol.

I could just kick you for that too! You missed a great concert and the chance to meet me and some other wonderful fans! (Sorry to rub it in.)
Mad Science is a really cool/unique song. I also really like Plastique on the Inside. I was really surprised it wasn't on his first album since it goes along with the Hollywood theme.

Maybe that'll be on the next album. I've heard several different versions of it, so it may just not have been finished in time for the 'Stories' release.
