Fan Recaps and Comments:

Tickets were $7.50. Frieda was a special guest at the event and performed a cover of Joan Jett's "Do You Wanna Touch Me" which "nearly stole the show" according to Cash Box. Watchface were the opener for the event, with the group also listed as guests in promotional flyers.

A review of the show by Paul Iorio
Cash Box, Mar. 21, 1987:

They Might Be Giants' two shows at the Village Gate (3/7) featured a hilarious cameo by Freda [sic], a female singer wearing a puppet head, who nearly stole the show with a cover of "Do You Wanna Touch." [sic] It was one of the Giants's liveliest shows, full of inventive stage antics and great songs — among them, "She's An Angel," "Hide Away Folk Family," and the fabulously titled "Don't Let's Start." Opening was a performance art foursome named Watchface, who did several humorous and fairly well-received verbal set pieces.
