He's such a cutie. He was with the guys in Chicago last year, I saw him wandering around the lobby a few hours before doors opened. I kind of wanted to talk to him, but there was a glass door between us and I would've looked like a lunatic if I'd tried to get his attention.

Well, that and my paralyzing shyness.

It was cool to see him though. He's so great.

Umm - yes...





Loved the whole thing...

All the sleeping Jemaine bits were some of my most favourite bits.

Aww.  

I also loved Jemaine singing at the soundcheck.  

I think I'm going to have to mp3 that bit.

Anyone interested in it?

Aww.  

Me too.  
I am also really lazy and love to sleep. . . in fact, I had an 8:30 class this morning that required me to have a nap when I got home. . .I just woke up now.

I finally watched it!

Bret's loud beard

James is so adorable

The Muppets and Leonard Cohen? Interesting combo.  

Jemaine's beard!

Sleepy Jemaine is love

The playing guitar on the floor bit!

Is James saying Americans are super confident but actually know nothing?  

Holy shit their Rhys 'sound effects' are so awesome  

Rhys is the best ever  

Did Jemaine say 'Holy shit' when they saw how big the auditorium was? That's awesome. I don't think I've ever heard him curse before.

What's funny is that venue is on the smaller size for this year's tour.  I think they said it seated 3,400?  

Can you imagine their reaction to the ~10,000 seater that is Red Rocks???  

i loved this documentary!

i loved the fact that hannah interviewed them because you could definitely tell that they were more relaxed with someone they knew, versus a stranger. also there were lots of quick shots of bret...

jemaine falling asleep while doing makeup and just sitting around waiting made me laugh because i do that all the time! hahaha it's really bad...i need to get more sleep [as does jemaine]

and the behind the scenes stuff was awesome as well! soundcheck, checking out the venue, shooting, etc! i really hope there's an extended version of this somewhere......

I just watched it. As has been said, Bret playing the piano:


Bad timing to get rid of HBO.. I can't believe this was available 2 days after our HBO was cancelled.  

Does a better quality download exist somewhere out there?

I hope Hannah continues directing/producing Conchord and Bret goodies.  

Flight of the Conchords: On Air:

An hour-long behind-the-scenes special precedes the launch of season two, which earned better reviews in the United States than the first: "The level of cleverness is off the charts"

(San Francisco Chronicle); "The scripts are as funny and tightly written as ever"

(Time). Prime, 8.30pm/9.30pm Monday

Source: http://www.stuff.co.nz/4865399a1860.html

So there IS a longer version (as opposed to the ~25 min. one shown on HBO)!  Anyone able to watch this?

I assume it's the one that will air before the NZ premiere of S2 next Monday no? I trust one of our down underer folks will help us out with that.

It seemed like the half hour version had so much filler as it was (long clips from the show and shots of NY with music playing over), I wonder what they cut out?

This is airing tonight in NZ.
Does anyone know if one of our resident Kiwis will be recording it?

I watched it today. It was so great. I loved it.

Sorry if this has been mentioned somewhere and I missed it. I was watching the "On Air" doc and noticed that Jemaine is singing a bit of "You Don't Love Me Anymore"!

OMG, that is awesome!!  

They'd been holding out on us!

That is a great find, Elizabeth.

25 Minute HBO Version:



This version aired on HBO On Demand and was released as part of the extras with HBO's Flight of the Conchords DVD boxset.
