The band played songs from their whole discography for their rooftop performance on the last night of the Austin event. The entire set was recorded for a Guitar Center TV special which will air later this month.
The cover is unfortunately not featured on their newest album, Oceania, but is part of their Guitar Center Sessions Performance on DirecTV, which airs on May 17th at 9pm EST.
