Conan O'Brien's Nashville Show with Jack White

Before heading to Bonnaroo Conan stopped in Nashville for an unpublicized show with Jack White at Third Man Records. We stood in line for 4 and a half hours hoping to get in. The line was around the block, but once things got moving we made it all the way to the venue, up the alley, and to the gate. Then the line stopped. Jack White came out and told us the building was at capacity.

Unfortunately, we didn't make it in. There was a good write-up of the show on the Team COCO site. Those who didn't make it into the show can buy an LP of the evening's events.

Of course, Conan went on to perform at Bonnaroo over the next couple days. Rolling Stone grabbed a quick interview with him in Manchester.

Dave Shares Excellent Bobby Rahal/Jimmy Vasser Story, Disses NASCAR

If you watch Letterman for any length of time, you'll know he's an avid fan of motor sports. Last night while speaking with Jessica Biel, Dave told a story of himself, Bobby Rahal and Jimmy Vasser racing rental vans around the track of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Most excellent.

Prior to that story, Dave got a couple jabs in against NASCAR.

The NASCAR ribbing starts at 6:35 and the Rahal story starts at 8:30.

Conan O'Brien's Tour on YouTube

If you're like me, unable to make it to a stop on "The Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour," you can actually watch quite a bit of the show on YouTube.

Attendees have been posting various segments from the show online. The images are a bit shaky, but it's still easy to laugh along.

The tour stopped in New York City last night featuring such guests as Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart, both of which challenged Conan to a dance-off. As luck would have it, someone happened to be recording and posted the whole segment to YouTube.

No signs yet of take-down notices from the Conan camp, so we'll watch and enjoy while we can!
