3.22PM: Beth and Colin have gone somewhere. They may be in the meeting with the band. At least we have your emails for company! Talking of which, Shelley has just correctly pointed out that we haven't put up any pictures of Tim. So here he is..
3.31PM: Update on the doodles from earlier, from Sneak N Wolf. "Just a small correction here. As much as America would like to claim the doodles you posted, we cannot for were drawn by a lovely Keane fan from Canada! She traveled to LA to see them at The Gibson, where she got them to the band. She's a graphic artist! (Her name is Diane. She and her sister are massive Keane fans who attended all but the Largo gigs here in LA last month)". Top, top work Diane. Band and crew are all very impressed. Here's a close-up of one.
4.16PM: Tim is back out in the pretend stage area (well, the stage is exactly like it will be in the arena, but there isn't a crowd - or, indeed, space for one). Here he is, tinkering with one of his keyboards (he was playing the opening line to Is It Any Wonder? as we took this)
4.57PM: While Obama gets the keys to the White House, Tim is beavering away with his clever new piano. Apparently as well as being a piano, it can play other noises too, all triggered by the traditional piano hammers. Here it is...
5.27PM: Tim made it up for the Obama speech in the end. And now the band are about to launch into their full run-through of the show...
5.45PM: These just arrived from "Dickens" (aka Emma). Ace.
6.08PM: Yes, it's time for km.com's traditional liveblog black and white live shots...
7.03PM: They're still banging enthusiastically through the set - in fact, they've only got about three more songs to go after this one. Curiously, they've turned the vocals right down, even though Tom's still singing, so that you can only really hear the music. It's actually quite nice to hear instrumentals of songs you've never heard instrumentally before.
7.22PM: Well, our time with you is a nearing an end, as the band are playing their last song of the set (bet you can't guess what that is...) and Colin and Beth are packing up their stuff. Everyone is due to head back down to London tonight, and that's quite a few hours away from here, so they're keen to get going before too long. A couple more pics...
8.08PM: Well, the mushroom soup and beef pie were lovely and we're now feeling very full indeed. Here's a pic of Tim and Tom just before the band finished...
this is one is not part of yesterday's amazing blog...it's just the result of being quite inspired. Yeah, I know I'm crap at drawing...
