It was pretty wild. Actually nice to catch a concert I was at. I was trying to remember if this was one of the times I got to strum the guitar on Famous Polka or not. Not sure if it was during this tour or subsequent ones I caught at the HOB Sunset strip. Though that could have been the time at the 4th&b in Sam Diego. Too long ago but memories are there just like the couple going at it at the window in the hotel across the street from the HoB one time after we exited the concert. I think that was when OKGO was opening for them.

Flansy going absolute balls wild here
Flansburgh has two modes: your uncle half asleep after Christmas dinner and small child after an entire tub of ice cream and I love it.
I am worried for him. I thought someone was gonna die.
flansy was going INSANE in this whole performance

since i watch this basically every night i decided to compile a list of my favorite moments and just generally great things about this performance
2:46
3:02 guy in the audience yelling out "WE LOVE YOU SPIDER"
5:56 linnell's hand motions

21:41 grahham mabbaby
22:17 "not a very interesting story, but it's a true one" (which only flans laughs at)

33:03 dan and graham look like they're having fun
33:22 this closeup shot of dan singing the secondary backing vocals (don't get me wrong i love how he sounds)
33:46 really love this simple but effective riff under the final verse
34:51 dan letting the c and dm chords fully ring out at the end instead of muting them like throughout the rest of the song (kinda subtle but once you notice it it sounds so good)
42:42 linnell laughing at flans's AAAAAAAAAA
43:33 this whole intro sounds so happy
46:10 flans picking up the mic to carry it to nowhere in particular

47:11 Crazy No Music (the music continues)
48:07 this little bass fill
51:41 flans jumping while awaiting the glockenspiel
51:53 I HATE THIS ROCK MUSIC
52:37 dan hickey locating the mallet
52:54, 53:30, and 53:50 the fact that each glockenspiel note he plays is better than the previous one
54:14 take this HORRIBLE thing away
54:23 daaamn, he's good
56:33
58:38 flans deadpan polka
58:58 the way that the camera cuts to reveal the "guest" guitarist is so funny to me
1:03:37 Copper Wire. Aluminum Wire. . . Metal Wire
1:04:01 ninety SIX???
1:04:23 y'know, people- ladies...
1:04:33 the Nucyuller reaction between ESTROGEN, ESTROGEN, ESTROGEN, AND MORE ESTROGEN
1:16:10 i really love how this particular a minor chord sounds for some inexplicable reason
1:17:12 conductor flans

1:34:41 flans visibly getting caught off guard by linnell Screaming his line
1:35:00 love this extended ending of istanbul so much and dan's acoustic guitar in particular sounds incredible
I love the sheer irony of Linnell talking about the endless bootlegs on, well another one of those endless bootlegs!
During “Older”, Flans used the same synth effect pedal as “We Luv U” by Grand Theft Audio
This is an excellent recording of a truly excellent performance! What a gem! Thank you for uploading.
