Description
Emails with downloads of the album came with this intro:
While no live recording could do justice to the full experience, which was recently described as "They Might Be Giants with bacon" by an insightful fan, many of the musical highlights unique to this year of shows are captured here. Kudos to our always-stellar band –– Dan Miller on guitar, Danny Weinkauf on bass, Marty Beller on the drums, and the new kid on the bus, Mr. Curt Ramm on trumpet.
The cover image was taken at The Town Ballroom in Buffalo, New York by Jon Brunette in the middle of the Quiet Storm portion of the show. Their super-sized disco ball will always be spinning in our hearts.
The photographs in the CD's foldout liner notes were taken at 2018 They Might Be Giants live shows by Jon Uleis.
