Head to @Snapchat (GMA_ABC) to see! pic.twitter.com/Bpn3xqaAov — Good Morning America (@GMA) December 4, 2014Despite it being at 8:50 a.m., the crowd was into it and was able and willing to dance to David Guetta and his group of instrumentalists. "GMA" wisely took the party inside, creating an intimate club atmosphere, since it was apparently 25 degrees Fahrenheit outside, according to ABC's thermometer, via "Do Androids Dance." It was probably the smallest audience Guetta has played to in years, as he is used to massive festival crowds and large, packed clubs.Guetta ditched his traditional DJ setup, instead opting for launchpads to trigger certain sounds in the song that would not be played by Sam Martin or the orchestra. Sam Martin shines on the piano, playing the topline from the track and singing the vocals with impressive style. The orchestra seemed slightly out of place with the whole set-up, but it was a good first attempt at doing it live.
