Fan Recaps and Comments:

Features some of the earliest known live performances of several Flood tracks: "Particle Man", "Dead", "Lucky Ball & Chain", "Someone Keeps Moving My Chair", and "Whistling In The Dark". After playing Particle Man, John Flansburgh said "We've been doing all these new songs for one week today. It's our anniversary of our first week playing all these new songs." This suggests the earliest performances of these songs was at their November 18th Haverford College show. John Linnell on "Dead": "I've never played that song in public before... I was a little scared..." Tickets were $13.
