TNP Play ELO
Sunday, December 16th, 2007
The New Pornographers (with Neko Case) making an in-store appearance at the Apple Store in Soho. They’re doing a cover of ELO’s “Don’t Bring Me Down.” New York City 12/2007. [in DograColor] [with Sound]

Front man A. C. Newman told the audience that the band had been scheduled to perform for a TV show in Europe and asked to cover a “classic rock” song. This is what he came up with.
You can see almost every member of the band in this clip (except for Dan Bejar, who wasn’t there, and Blaine Thurier, who’s out of frame to the left) — A. C. Newman and Neko Case are up front, center; Kathryn Calder and John Collins are to the right; and Todd Fancey and Kurt Dahle are in the back.
Neko has a laugh at one point, though their faces are a bit hard to see in the hot lights. They really seemed to enjoy playing this song.
