"John, I think we're losing the crowd... I meant that we're losing the crowd. Sure, this new song's thing is cool, but the sound of my voice is too hard to understand! People want the familiar sounds, the sounds of comfort like a glockenspiel! Close your eyes and visualize a glockenspiel. G-L-O-... Ckenspiel. Sing it with me now! G-L-O-... Ckenspiel. Like it's familiar! G-L-O-... Ckenspiel."
I was at that taping and remember thinking, along with my friends, What the HOLY !@#$% is this ???? HAHAHAH .... the looks on their faces was priceless! I'll never EVER forget this.....
I don't know what to think of this band any more! like a lot of their songs but are they just a big kids band or adults?????? or is it a bit of both??? im so unsure.
@tmbbiff am I right if say that their newer stuff from no and onwards is more kids stuff and most f the earlier stuff is more adult? or is that wrong?
Wow.. i've never heared Shoehorn played without the cheer accompanying the triangle/glockenspiel. Good on the John's for going out on a limb though!!!
I'm pretty sure they went into this knowing how the songs would go dow. One of the greatest things about TMBG is they don't care what people think of them, any other artist would never have played such awkward and bizzare songs on a tv appperence
I remember watching this the day of, and laughing my ass off because of the crowd's deadness. My roommate was asking me "Is this funny?" Which made it even funnier. TMBG is fucking brilliance! THanks for posting this!
People should get beat up for skating like the Leafs.

@SuperRyan80
All of their music has always been interchangeably enjoyed by both children and people on mushrooms.

I remember when I saw "They" live, and they brought out the G-L-O-ckenspiel. It was hilarious! They had Dan Hickey play it.

@ClawdOfPixies I love this show, but I have the feeling the crowd didn't. I guess it's this quirkiness that doesn't translate.
