Fan Recaps and Comments:

When asked about the show in a 2023 Tumblr post, John Flansburgh said:

We played at a place called the Pyramid Club A LOT which was really THE SPOT in downtown Manhattan in the early and mid-80s. A lot of very decadent nights roaring until dawn. And because we were part of it, folks from elsewhere would approach us and others about getting "the downtown scene" to their town. Our show in Burlington, VT in the early days was billed as a "Downtown NYC" show, and I suspect the John Cale opening slot was given to us for similar reasons.

I do remember finding the dressing rooms very unprivate and the cocktail party atmosphere with tons of kinda sketch people just floating through a bit unfun, but nothing I wasn't well familiar with from playing discos.
