A little birdie told me that 2 or 3 professional camera men were in the room filming this so hopefully we'll get to see the whole thing...

This is all I could find on youtube

Someone on facemook mentioned he recorded this performance. It's unclear if he filmed or taped the audio but I'm glad to know it was documented, and I'll be ecstatic if and when a recording surfaces.
