Fan Recaps and Comments:

Thunderbird had Linnell singing without an instrument to play, and he felt uncomfortable "fronting" the group.

Dr. Evil had Flansburgh's wife, Robin come out and sing. Everyone swooned over the 1st line of the brand new song, which also had Dan Miller on keyboard.

What also made the night special was it was the first I met a lot of TMBG chatters in person, with people flying in from all over the country.

The late show was even better, because as soon as TMBG saw the same people back in the front row from the early show, they had no choice but to change the set list on the spot and include some numbers they didn't do in the early show. This show started at about 11:30 PM.
