Best 2 opening songs ever.

Nice save on the first "Subliminal", Flans! :-P

I want to see a John do a "stereotypical" jump from the drumset stand.

1:35 Linnell has this funny look on his face when there's that deep rumble sound xD

Awesome band. I love it when Linnell plays his accordion!

Finally a live version! Thanks so much. Best opening song ever.

Thanks for posting, I was there also. First time seeing TMBG in New York and also first time seeing them in close to five years. Add to all that it was my girlfriend's first show and she enjoyed it.

Hey capitalq, I really do appreciate you going through the trouble and posting these so quickly. It's been awhile and we out here on the West coast are going through some serious withdrawls. But it's understandable, considering....

[capitalq]

Absolutely! I'm sure they'll probably head back over to your coast after the next release--they're due to. :]

I don't like how there's something wrong with Flansy's guitar at most concerts. :(

Thanks for the video!

[capitalq]

Something wrong? Do you mean how it wasn't tuned at first?

[JasonDTube]

Yeah, and at Montclair, he switched guitars every 2 seconds and pretended to play during the encores. The same happened at the Columbia University concert in '08.

It adds to the charm of TMBG performances when things don't go according to plan. Seriously, I feel cheated if something minor doesn't go wrong during the shows. I thought he was detuning for that particular song. Just my observation.
