I mentioned it in an earlier post, but as it all went down while I was in the middle of swappin’ out cameras, I missed getting this little gem on video. Fortunately, ye olde Tube of Yous has come through.
To explain what you’re seeing: About halfway through his set, Coulton pushed an iDVD-built video menu to the concert hall’s projection screens. It had two items: one labeled “Play this one”, one labeled “Not this one”. After a few rounds of playful banter between Coulton and a sound guy whos name he simply couldn’t remember, they managed to tag-team the audience into chanting for the not-to-be-played video (The camera used in that video up above didn’t quite pick up just how loud the chant was - people were pretty riled up). “Sound Guy” clicks the no-no video, aaaaaand it’s a rickroll.
There were a few thousand people in that concert hall. Could this be the largest simultaneous Rickroll in the history of the intarwebs?

The Mets Rickroll was the funniest Rickroll ever! The Fans were pissed when they found out what song had been chosen.
