She went onto say Carman was taken from another band, Images, based out of San Pedro, Calif. Then, she pointed a band of female fans standing in front of the stage since the beginning of their set.

After the recital, David mentioned how the back of it looked like Big Bird’s brother on it. Afterwards, they introduced the all-star band whom sat to play with them. One was the drummer for Colbie Caillat, Donald Barret. After a brief of introduction of their band mates, they went onto play “Always”.
