Bohager's in Baltimore, MD

Fan Recaps and Comments:

The show was opened by the "the only tribute act that matters" They Might Be Giants '89, which only consisted of John Linnell and John Flansburgh with a tape backing. After a fifteen minute intermission, the rest of the band joined for the second set. This was done to promote Then: The Earlier Years.

• John Flansburgh: Vocals, Electric Guitar, Harmonica, Stick
• John Linnell: Vocals, Keyboard, Accordion, Saxophone
• Graham Maby: Bass Guitar
• Dan Hickey: Drums & Percussion
