    Please forgive the weather warning. Stupid Chicago weather...

    TMBG Live show rule: if Shoehorn with Teeth is involved, be reassured the show will be beyond _interesting_

    This was a seriously ballsy move on their part - even with the rapport they have with the show. So great!

    Wasn't a weather warning when I watched this, but it adds to the insanity of TMBG in my opinion.

      WMAQ, Channel 5 in Chicago. Plenty of tornado warnings, but not many actual funnel clouds, fortunately.

    It's fun trying to hear Flans's real voice through the effect.

    I feel like the weather warning makes the video more authentic.

    I vividly remember seeing this that night. Hated it. Was so bummed because I loved the Malcolm theme. I've since seen them a good 6 or so times over the years. Some of the best things take more than one try to grasp! Still not crazy about this particular performance but they're legends anyhow.

      @LukeHennisch 5 років тому +5

      Stella Octangula why? It’s definitely their most popular song off No. Honestly I would’ve like to hear Sleepwalkers because that is one of the first songs I ever heard when I was a kid by these guys, but I think this is probably the best choice.

      TMBG has a long history of playing unorthodox tracks on TV. I love them for it.

    • @MisterAppleEsq
      @MisterAppleEsq 6 років тому +1

      Their most popular album was released in 1990, and a lot of people associate them with the 90s, even if they were around before then.
      And yes, Inside just reply to a four year old comment.

      hey i reply to four year old comments all the tiiiiiime
      anyway, to me they hit big pop radio with Flood when i was a senior in high school which seems like 1989 to me, even though half of the school year and the release of Flood was in 1990 :P
