Fan Recaps and Comments:

Kman510:

Okay...love the wiki...adding some of my comments for shows along the way. This one was strange. TMBG is the greatest mid-level rock band of all time, and apparently not quite able to fill this theater. PLUS...seats everywhere so people just sat in their seats the whole time. My friend and I stood and jumped around. I didn't care. TMBG was excellent as usual and I picked up the new JoCo album "Artificial Heart".

You&Me!!:

I attended this show when I was about 4 years old. I only could remember a few things. First of all, I recognized the picture of the spinning straws in the video for Apophenia and my dad recently pulled up a picture of the show, and that was on the big JumboTron thing behind them!! AHAHA!! 'TWAS NOT A FIGMENT OF MY IMAGINATION!!!!!!! The other thing that happened a lot was Flansburgh wandering around on the stage. He was over here, and then he was over here, and then he was on the little tiny drum podium near Marty, and it was just weird. My only concert, sadly. I only just got re-invested in TMBG during quarantine, so that's my fault.
