They Might Be Giants
Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, NY
February 3, 1996 at 8:00 PM

Photo from the Reporter: "They Might Be Giants, on February 4th [sic], performed to one of the largest crowds in R.I.T.'s recent concert history (pictured here John Flansburgh, singer/guitarist)."

Fan Recaps and Comments:

Tickets were $5 per student. RIT, which is the location of the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, provided an ASL interpreter.^[1]

From the Reporter, Feb. 9, 1996:

At 9:30 PM, TMBG took the stage at RIT's Clark Gym, and proceeded to rock the house for the next hour and a half. TMBG didn't bring the horns section, as they have been known to do for the last few years, but instead played a more power set of songs. The set included a few new songs as well as "James K. Polk," a song that until recently they had never learned to play. They finished with a double encore including "The Famous Polka" and "Joker (Steve Miller Band)". Except for the mildly rowdy crowd and poor acoustics, the concert was a good one.
