Didn't he do My Funny Valentine as well? If my memory serves me correctly, they showed this the week after this show was broadcast and one of the Marks (Radcliffe I think) said you could hear a pin drop.
Who’s this kid with his mumbo jumbo?

Don't recall seeing that one air at the time, but both performances were top notch. JHe looks like he's about to cry in TOEOTT! I reckon he should play that on the current tour too. Another cracking song.

Ha, he's done it already. Too many songs to keep abreast of. Don't know Kendel Carson, singing fiddle player with a mane of hair, but two seconds on YouTube reveals:
Gorgeous!
Two added seconds with YouTube reveals Verbie to be correct:
A sublime rendition, you could indeed here a pindrop (though if Radcliffe did say that, it's cut off here). Has his voice ever sounded better than this? Looks like it's been transferred from an old VHS, but great to see it.
