Watched all 3 songs multiple times. They did a great job of generating energy and inspiration in a sterile environment. Wonderful guitar tones, and Jay is in fine voice.

Andrew and Chris both grew facial hair since the tour started, Mark got a haircut. Jay, well looks like he did at 20. What the hell?

I saw about 1 minute of Promise the World on the show before they cut to commercial.

I just watched the Promise the World performance. Yeah, all three of these were terrific. And Andrew's on harmony vocals on this one. Mark does a great job on pedal steel. Beautiful.

CBS has done a lot of cool music pieces over the years on Saturday and Sunday morning. I'm really happy Jay and the boys are getting this exposure.

I don't believe Promise the World aired on the show.

Lots of camera time for Mark Spencer, who sounded sweet on pedal steel....

Thought the mixes for "Back Against the Wall" and "Promise the World" were terrible. "Lost Souls" was a bit better...

I heard Cherokee St. earlier, maybe when they were announcing the "coming up" thing. So a snippet of that was played as well. (From the album, not live.)

Oh that WAS nice!! Nice show of range. Im guessing this will draw in some new fans...well chosen songs...PAINFULLY RELEVANT these days.

Good ol youtube. I missed it live....it's on earlier here, I guess.

Glad to see the hat recurring.... Everyone looked all shinied up. Mmmmm Morning TV.

Love to see the exposure....still stoked for Denver!

Performing "Back Against the Wall" right now. Very nice! I didn't realize it's Mark on backing vocals (was thinking it was Duplantis).

I don't have TV at home, so I'm glad to see that the performances from this morning's CBS airing are already posted to YouTube: "Back Against the Wall," "Lost Souls," and "Promise the World."

It's a terrific little program--kudos to CBS for doing this. If I was the producer, I'd do 2 songs and maybe skip the interview on 4/15. Jay has an off the chart quality of music to interviews ratio.
