For Mr. Joe Perez, and for the others here that are interested in space travel and behind-the-scenes looks inside. Space must be a lonely and boring place. Scenic, but lonely.

That is a fairly epic piece of video. And I think I may actually prefer this version of the song to the original.
I'm kind of amazed that they allowed him to actually bring a guitar up to ISS, given weight and space constraints.
Mind-blowing visuals... I'd love to know what kind of camera that was shot on- the quality (especially dealing with ultra high-contrast situations, like looking out the window with the earth and sun in the background, and the dimly lit interior in the foreground) suggests an actual pro-grade unit with huge imaging sensors, which is precisely the sort of thing I would expect to *not* find on a space station.
Must watch full-screen at 720 to appreciate.
edit: Dammit, I was so in awe that I broke the rule. Self-pony:

Ah, yes.
I'm kind of old-school when it comes to video. When I think high-end video, I think Ikegami / Sony / Panasonic, with an Arri lens in front. Big over-the-shoulder stuff.
I keep forgetting that the current crop of DSLR cameras can now shoot high-framerate HD video that puts these old 3CCD monsters to shame.
(This was from the "filming" of the Season 6 finale to "House," which was shot entirely on a Canon EOS 5D.)
