Fan Recaps and Comments:

Shuda7:

One of the best concerts I have ever went to. Flansburgh secretly created a setlist in alphabetical order (sneaky!). I even managed to get Flansburgh's autograph! Unfortunately, Linnell quickly left so I couldn't get his autograph.

Notmybday:

Amazing show, full of energy and the dark skies never amounted to anything threatening. I asked Flansburgh for a photo, he let me hold his coffee instead while he signed autographs. I'll take it! Come back to Toronto soon!

Son of Bumpy:

It was a gloomy day but thankfully the promised rain never materialized. The band took the stage promptly at 2 and played for an hour and a quarter. It was a fun show. What a shame that this was only the second time in nine years that they've played Toronto.
The intro to "Free Ride" was played at both ends of the "puppet content".

Jkgottli:

The first TMBG show for my wife and myself, and it was amazing! The government-required puppet content was hilarious, and the band sounded great. I even got Flans to sign the poster I made for the concert (The poster design | The signed poster). Can't wait until the show in Rochester!

Rocketbride:

Great show, and both my kids had a good time. The only thing that sucked was that it was hard for the kids to see because the first four feet were adults, so I had to do a lot of lifting to keep the kids happy.
