One of the highlights of the appearance was when the band invited Howard Stern to choose their set-list for the show. In the end, they played two classic fan favorites, “Daughter” and “Yellow Ledbetter,” along with two brand new songs – the opening track “Scared Of Fear” and recent single “Running” from Dark Matter.
