They Might Be Giants
— with Les Chauds Lapins opening —
Bowery Ballroom in New York, NY

Fan Recaps and Comments:

Part of a four-Wednesday-night stand at the Bowery Ballroom. Going along with the decade theme, this show celebrated the 1990s. 17 of the 27 songs performed were from this decade. Everything else, with the exception of Damn Good Times, was from 2007.

Whistling In The Dark was performed with the marching drum, and the confetti cannon. This was also the only song that accordion was used on. Dan Miller was playing a microKORG on a couple of The Else songs.

Kurt Hoffman was a member of the opening band, Les Chauds Lapins.

The "technical glitch" that caused How Can I Sing Like A Girl? to not be released on Theymightbedownloads was John Flansburgh forgetting the lyrics, causing the band to repeat the intro over and over for over a minute.
