Fan Recaps and Comments:

This was Graham Maby's last show with They Might Be Giants. During this, he got his wish from the "Make a Rock Wish" foundation: the entire crowd shouted "Graham! Graham! Graham!" during The Guitar. Tickets were $12.

Matthew James:

I haven't seen this posted yet (the show or the Graham news) so here goes. After more than 2 hours of driving (partly looking for N. Water St. in Lancaster for about 40 minutes!) Nicola and I made it to the Chameleon and saw Graham Maby's last show with TMBG. Yes, you heard that right, Graham has made his last performance with TMBG. Apparently, he had his first show with TMBG in Lancaster and now he had his last, yesterday evening. Mostly like the Philly show (the first one), this one went very well, and was riddled with old and new songs, which was great to hear. Everything from Don't Let's Start and The Stick on Lie Still, Little Bottle, to new songs like First Kiss and Dr. Worm (I don't remember them playing Rest a While last night). At the end, when they sang the last song before the encoure (was it Till my Head Falls Off, or was that the last encoure song? I can't remember), Flans started a "Graham, Graham, Graham!" chant and everyone joined in, even chanting "Graham, Graham, Graham!" after the last song into the break before the encoure. They brought out a huge cake, which I couldn't quite read Flans said how he was such a wonderful bassist and how they couldn't have a better band member amoung them. When the "Graham, Graham, Graham!" chanting went up, Graham just put his hands over his face in embarrasment and then began to bang on his bass strings very hard and then continued to finish up the show with his sterling performance. It was very emotional. We'll miss you Graham!
