Video: Coulton performs Rock Band DLC 'Still Alive'
Our Joystiq pals just posted a video of Jonathan Coulton's Friday night performance of (recently announced as Rock Band DLC) "Still Alive" at San Francisco's Great American Music Hall. Coulton brought a few folks on stage including tech guy Leo Laporte and Mahalo's Veronica Belmont to participate in the "Still Alive" performance. Their Rock Band skills are lukewarm at best, but we get the general idea and can't wait to sing to "Still Alive" from the comforts of our Rock Band setup at home. And in even more exciting news, Joystiq got a chance to chat with a few Harmonix employees who attended the concert and learned that currently (though subject to change) the "Still Alive" DLC single will be downloadable for $.99. For that price, no true Rock Band'er or Portal'er should be without GLaDOS' mega-hit.

I love Rock Band.
I love "still alive".
I couldn't sit through this video. :(
They were all on Easy (except for the singer who was arguably on medium) and it was blah quality.

veronica said above ^^^ she was on Medium. i thought she did pretty good, she saved that cowboy dude a bunch of times
it's too bad they failed at 99%, i would've like to see j.c.'s vocal score.

Poor Leo. You'd think all those years hanging around Pat, some bass skills might have sank in.

I hope it's the GLADOS version in the actual game and not John Coulton's, his version sucks

Is that the same Jonathon Coulton that does that hilariously awesome cover of Baby Got Back?
If you haven't heard it, listen to it NOW!

I heard Leo talking about it on his show this weekend. I sometimes pick it up if I'm out doing errands, but I always thought he was some local guy out of DC... apparently not. Anyway, he thought it was pretty funny that Veronica had to "keep pulling his ass out of the fire".
This song is the first thing that's made me want to actually go out and buy Rock Band. I might even do it, if I can find a good deal -- as it stands, I'd rather have the ~3 full-price games I could get for the same money =-(

Well a lot of places have the bundle for $150 this week. That's $20 off the original price.
As for me, I'm getting this song as soon as it's available.
Jonathan said on his blog that he scores 95% (not sure what difficulty though.)
And way to rock it Veronica. :)
