A review of the show from Gordon MacKinnon
The Gateway, Dec. 6, 1990:

The stage sparsely set with a few mock US postage stamps for backdrop, Messrs. Flansburgh and Linnell launch into the "Theme from Flood" to start a kinetic evening. Using an eclectic array of instruments supplemented by backing tracks, they went through most of the material from the Flood album in a remarkably quick-paced show considering the challenge of their use of backing tracks, and the frequent changes of instruments (accordion, guitar, trumpet, french horn and metronome), punctuated by engaging rapparte.
The two Johns kept a large audience moving, and by the time they played "Birdhouse in Your Soul" and "Twisting" the crowd was in quite a frenzy. Overall, their presentation was very energetic and quite physical, and the band seemed to genuinely enjoy themselves, a feeling reciprocated by the appreciative audience.
