TLA - They Might Be Giants

[blargwee]

Fuck yeah philly!

[callita623]

I was there! though i spent much of the concert in the corner hacking up a lung. it was GREAT.

[FlansyLinny]

This kinda reminds me of that Canadian band The Look People.

[chrisfinest1]

Dang. I wish I had gone to that concert.

[bridgetkgd]

The TLA is also known as The Theater of the LIving Arts on South Street in Philly

[silverstuffs]

i was at that show!

[avp715]

wait was that at the TLA?

[theneighborhoodgang]

Yes, the audio was taken from 2004, but the videos were taken from 2006 and 2007 shows at TLA.

[cubeguy2]

Dang, I can't buy this song on for my Ipod...It's not in the catalog.

[cubeguy2]

nvm, I just read that coment that said its actual name is Philadelphia. I can buy it now ^_^.

[cubeguy2]

I like this song too! =)

[johnm14]

I was at that show.

[lkri888]

Duty now, for the future.

[intrepgun]

we must repeat!

[LaCatrinaaa]

I like that one of the tags is "awesome".

[jstohler]

The song is actually called "Philadelphia," right?

[neonom1024]

yes

[freeuser21421]

Technically yes, though that's likely only because TMBG didn't want to have any legal issues with using the actual name of many of the venues in the Venue Songs project.

I see it being called TLA in spirit; Philadelphia only on paper.

[drokulix]

Three-Letter Acronym?

[quartzy]

How _do_ you spell TLA?

[oozabooman]

It's impossible to tell.

[manwithoutabody]

What does TLA mean?

[capitalq]

Theatre of Living Arts.

[Belgand]

Though perhaps unlikely in this context it's also commonly used as a reflexive semi-joke to mean "Three Letter Acronym".

[pxlnight13]

hahaha: makes me laugh.

[TeaDeeKay]

Just to clarify, this is the audio from the original 9/30/04 performance that's on the Venue Songs album and video from both the 5/12/06 & 11/24/07 shows. When you see the dancers standing more toward the back of the stage, next to the drum riser, you're seeing footage from 2006.

[capitalq]

In addition, handclaps have been overdubbed onto the audio track. :]

[ravensky23]

That was fun! Wish I'd been there!

[JasonDTube]

I was supposed to go to that show, thanks for posting!

[MarkTheMagnificent]

[Applepieman1990]

[JeetThe1337]

I love your fake German accent!

Danke, indeed!

[ladognome]

[ArchbishopBob]

[theneighborhoodgang]

I like how they used other people's videos to make it into one.

[tunesplayer919]

OMG that made my life

[juttman]

You can see the back of my head in some shots haha

[ymbproductions]
