Fan Recaps and Comments:

The bridge to "Snowball In Hell" was exceptionally drawn-out and strange here. Flans notably flubbed part of "Cloisonne" by repeating part of the lyrics, and remarked afterwards that he was having a "meta" moment, losing his concentration right as he was singing about losing his concentration. The improv section of "Spy" was pretty crazy too, with John Linnell narrating a bunch of weird stuff about the big band era in between the freaky jamming. All in all they slammed through most of the songs pretty quickly, with relatively little banter. John Flansburgh is still talking about "floordrobes" too, apparently...-J-Gatz 01:43, 10 March 2012 (EST)
