On Saturday night I went to see They Might Be Giants perform live at The Pageant. The show (my 4th) was absolutely awesome. The setlist (available at This Might Be A Wiki) naturally included a large selection of songs (9 in all) from their new album, The Else, but it also included 4 fan favorites from Flood, and 2 each from Apollo 18 and The Spine. Particular highlights included…

• Opening with “I’m Impressed”
• “The Shadow Government”
• “The Cap’m”
• “Spider”
• “The Guitar”
• “Birdhouse In Your Soul”
• “Particle Man”
• “Istanbul (Not Constantinople)” with an amazing opening guitar solo
• “Damn Good Times” as the final song

Even the opening band, Oppenheimer was good. Their music was enjoyable, and they did a really good job warming up the crowd.

Oh, lastly, I wore my <GEEK> shirt from ThinkGeek and got two compliments… albeit from other guys.
