Regina Spektor performed an extended two-hour set at New York's Bowery Ballroom, attended by notable figures like Sean Lennon, Elizabeth Jagger, and members of The Strokes. Sean Lennon, present with a crowd of famous friends, humbly distanced himself from comparisons to Spektor, remarking on her growing popularity. Spektor later admitted the long performance was unintended, driven by her desire not to shortchange fans who had purchased tickets. The night highlighted her rising acclaim within New York's rock scene.
