Looking for The Heavy

December 9, 2010 4:39 PM

On the 18th January, English soul band The Heavy performed their song "how you like me now" on Letterman. Uniquely, they were asked to perform an encore.

Every version I've seen includes the ad break and misses out on most of the encore. Does the original audio/video exist?

I am outside the US and I know it's out there but I've never been able to find and view it. Can you help me out?

Is this playable outside the US?

NSAID, thanks so much for that. I remember wondering what happened during the ad break, too, and now I know that what we missed was Letterman being incredibly cute. The grin on his face!

rog, I can watch that clip in Canada - hope you can see it wherever you are!

Best answer: Just until you inevitably find something better, you can find the audio here. Complete with a bit of weirdness around 5:42 because the video hiccuped.

Don't ask how I know this, I just do.

it's not working in the Netherlands I'm afraid.

I saw that at the time and never managed to track down an uncut version that was available outside the US...
