LIL' ED WILLIAMS JOINS CONAN O'BRIEN ON STAGE

AT THE CHICAGO THEATRE

http://mailman.305spin.com/users/alligator/images/Conan_LilEd_175px.jpgChicago slide guitar master Lil' Ed Williams (leader of Lil' Ed and the Blues Imperials) joined Conan O'Brien on stage during his sold-out "Legally Prohibited From Being Funny On Television" performance at the Chicago Theatre on May 20, 2010. Ed, along with the house band led by Jimmy Vivino, performed his original song, Icicles In My Meatloaf.

Conan and Lil' Ed first met back in 2006 when O'Brien brought his Late Night show to Chicago. Ed appeared with O'Brien in a hilarious filmed segment, followed by Ed sliding across the stage of the Chicago Theatre on his knees while playing and then jamming with the Late Night host. The entire Late Night staff was so impressed by Ed's talent and charisma that they invited him and The Blues Imperials back to New York for a full song performance later that year.
