[edit] Fan Recaps and Comments:

Tisher:

April 10, 2005 - This show was being filmed for (live?) broadcast over the internet by a (now defunct) internet phone company called Cahoots. It was part of a series of shows at the Bowery Ballroom with themes. The gimmick this show was that the songs would be performed in alphabetical order. "Numbers go first," we were told. Partway through the setlist (After "She's An Angel" I think) Flansburgh explained that we shouldn't be confused because the songs weren't going to be played in alphabetical order by their actual names, but by their setlist abbreviations.
After "Chess Piece Face" Flansburgh told us that they had had a really cool segue into "Cowtown" with the horns worked up. However, he had to ruin it to tell us about how once, back when crowd surfing was popular, some guy had been hoisted up during a more uptempo number and then remained surfing during "Chess Piece Face" which he thought was hilariously inappropriate. The Johns told a similar anecdote years back on Leno's show.
I believe Flansburgh informed that this was the unveiling of the the full version of "Boss of Me".
During "Hide Away Folk Family" Flansurgh intructed the audience to scream as if in Hell during the bridge.
When they returned for the encores they told us they were finished with the alphabetical order and would just play what they felt like.

I watched the brodcast (not live) about a week ago (i hope i can write about this show) They started out with some kinda rock version of 4 of 2. As Flans is talking about Cahoots and the setlist, all of a sudden he screams the first part of She's Actual Size! Then the sorta rare preformance of It's Not my Birthday.
Going into the middle part of the show, they start playing some old songs like The Guitar, Hide Away Folk Family, Istanbul, James K Polk, We're The Replacements and Purple Toupee but then break into a rock version of Man, Its So Loud In Here,
They went on to do 2 encores and overall it was a good show (i got a good seat, right in front, HAHA)
