Fan Recaps and Comments:

Perspixx (talk)

There was some kind of vocal improvisation/breakdown partway through Fingertips that I did not recognize and couldn't fully parse.

Tonight's Istanbul intro was Stan Harrison on the sax, labeled as "DUEL-STAN-BUL" on the setlist. I do appreciate how they did the intro different all three nights

First time I've ever seen Narrow and Statue. Thank you, gentlemen. That made my night.

Best of the three Portland shows by a decent margin. Flansburgh said he took two naps today and spent an hour and a half on the setlist. Probably an exaggeration on his part but the changes that he made worked. This show had a real flow and energy to it; It was something special.

Flansburgh indicated that his mom was not a fan of I Palindrome I.

Valerie:

This one ripped particularly. The band was having a grand time. I was having a grand time. Gonna credit all of this to Flansburgh’s Two Naps.

ant:

they might be giants saved the best for last.
