Thanks for the heads-up it's on youtube, I've been meaning to check that today! And I am slightly disappointed only in that I thought he had made that arrangement himself so that added to how incredibly impressed I was (I didn't catch that intro from Ryan that it was Chris Cornell's version). But on the other hand, I too have always loved Chris Cornell, so I still love the song and like the way David delivered it. He made up that arrangement for "Hello", though, didn't he?

I'm sure anyone watching tonight knows this, but David did just acknowledge that all the arrangements he has done prior to tonight were someone else's. Tonight was his own, though, and I think it worked really well. But, I'm biased at this point.
