Fan Recaps and Comments:

This show was partially broadcasted on Italian radio. Songs 6 through 11 made it onto the airwaves.

Preview of the show from the Daily Texan, Jun. 17, 1988:

Well, they might be sideways in the photo above, but even so, expect an interesting entertaining show from They Might Be Giants at Liberty Lunch Friday night. The two-man band crafts wonderfully bent songs from the depths of their brains, like Absolutely Bill's Mood, I Hope That I Get Old Before I Die and Mr. Klaw'.

And of course there is the group's where-the-hell-did-that-come-from MTV hit Don't Let's Start, an exceedingly tuneful romp with one of the few truly great videos to come out in a while. If all that won't bring you to the show, maybe this will: Opening act for the Minneapolis duo is Glass Eye, hot on the heels of its excellent new album, Bent by Nature. A good show.
