Winding down their year-long monthly residency at Music of Williamsburg, TMBG pulled out a special show: The opening set was just John and John and a Teac reel-to-reel tape deck, in the format that they used from 1983 to 1991 – Linnell noting, “there might be a reason why we stopped.” As expected, there were a ton of early rarities (Cage and Aquarium, They’ll Need A Crane), plus more recent rarities (Wearing A Raincoat), plus a pile of songs from this year’s revival of the weekly Dial-A-Song project, some but not all of which appear on their new album “Glean.” Second set was a more standard five-piece band set, followed by an encore that opened with an odd little improvision that segued into an especially epic Robot Parade.
Recorded from the Music Hall’s balcony, which was good for sound but bad for having the venue’s LED spotlights shining directly in our eyes. (I was half hoping for a cover of The Clean’s “Point That Thing Somewhere Else.”) Same gear and location as my May 2015 recording, if you have that one.
Still three Music Hall shows left (12/31, 1/1, 1/2)! Buy tickets and music and shirts and stuff here:

And finally, somebody’s video of The Stick’s appearance on “Lie Still, Little Bottle,” because this really needs to be seen to be fully appreciated:
