Fan Recaps and Comments:
Happy 420 everyone! TMBG did this show after having been up for over 24 hours straight, but they appeared to be more stoned than tired. Lots of bizarre behavior on stage today - the funniest moment was Flansburgh playing a marching drum for Particle Man, and starting a PSA about how people shouldn't fight and instead should talk out their disagreements. For once, it was actually a kids show that lasted longer than 80 minutes. I had front row seats, but there was a crate totally blocking the view of the horns. I never even knew when they were on stage unless they were playing. In the interest of the "holiday", Moofy & I spent most of the show noticing just HOW MANY TMBG lyrics could be interpreted as being high, or other drug references. I also realized that some of the songs on 123's are actually very good - I was RRRRRing and MATEYing during the Pirate song, and Road Trip is an amazingly rocking song. --Richegreen 20:12, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
My son's first concert, and I made sure that it wasn't going to be Barney or Disney on Ice. We had a great time, and I was glad to hear that my "adult" favorite Why Does The Sun Shine was on the kid's setlist. --24.0.204.37 22:48, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
