Julian played two live dates at the end of August, sadly there hasn’t been a lot of quality recordings of these concerts, some videos have cropped up on youtube, thanks to Natie from Hard To Explain Forum for capturing these before RCA took them down.

Note: The quality for most of these are pretty poor, and in many cases are just short clips, videos can be viewed in Windows Media Player Classic or VLC player. Titles are estimates for now.

Videos:

11th Dimension
Glass
Ludlow St
River of Brake Lights
Julian Talking

Audio: 1 minute clip of 11th Dimension
