They Might Be Giants
Border in Burlington, VT
December 17, 1985

Fan Recaps and Comments:

John Flansburgh spoke about this show in a 2013 interview:

One of the first shows we ever played outside of NYC was in Burlington. We played in Burlington, and Northampton, Massachusetts, and afterward we got a lot of offers in Northampton. We thought, "Yeah, this is how a band grows!" But it's funny because we never really got called back to Burlington. I'm looking at the poster for that show now, it says, "8BC... CBGBs... and now, Burlington!" But we never got called back.

Ericbradford:

I have to push back on their recollection of this show. I came down to this, along with about five other people, after my roommate interviewed them on the UVM radio station, WRUV. Border was a small club that had dancing and live music almost every night, if there was a stage it's very unlikely it would have collapsed under the weight of two people, although my recollection is that there was no stage, just a drum riser. It certainly wasn't "four or five feet high." IIRC we all loved this show, and the Johns seemed grateful for the positive reception, despite the understandably low turnout.
