Ah freezing rain, how I love thee.

Due to the horrible weather last night, I was not able to make it to Madison to catch the Jonathan Coulton concert – a show I was anticipating since his last gig here nearly a year ago.  I keep hearing about the concert from friends that were there, and really wish I could have seen it.  Since I could not be there in person, I am now trying the next best thing.

This is a bit of a social experiment to see if I can find the concert in its entirety on the Internet.  Mr. Coulton is quite wonderful about letting patrons record his show and toss it up on the web.  I’ve already got two friends that have told me they recorded part of the show (“Mr. Fancy Pants” and “Famous Blue Raincoat” – which was one of my twitter requests).

So this leaves me with two dilemmas – determining the rest of the set list, and finding videos of these songs online.  I think it can be done.  If you know where I can find either, please post in the comments or hit me up on twitter (The_Dean) with links.

As for Mr. Coulton, he will be compensated in this endeavor.  If I can pull this off, I will make a donation to him via his website and pick up BEST.CONCERT.EVER. on DVD once it is released.  Any help in this experiment would be awesome and greatly appreciated.
