Fan Recaps and Comments:

ColorOfInfinity:

This was my first TMBG show since I was little, and my first real rock show. It was a great experience! I got to stand super close to the stage so I had a great view of the Johns. Some highlights include Linnell commenting that he could remember what song they were doing because the number on his keyboard he had to press was the same as the number of the song (Number Three), Flans speaking out against the transphobes in their audiences, and when Flans was like, "We have two more songs from Flood left. Here's the short one!" then an audience member shouted, "Minimum WAAAAGE!!!" (They had already played Minimum Wage.)

They-might-be-tortoise:
Anyone else remember Them doing some sort of weird remix of "Here Comes Santa Claus", or was that just my imagination? ...probably my imagination.
