i saw my second TMBG show in philly a couple days ago on sunday, and it was so fun! i was thrilled because i was literally hoping the opening set would be lincoln and it was! all the lesser known lincoln songs they did were so fun for me. another highlight was when they did withered hope; i always really liked that song and felt it was underappreciated so i wasn't expecting it here. and hearing them do fingertips was top tier. for people who were there: what did you like about the show?

I like how she discusses how there are some bands that aren't flat out comedy acts like Weird Al or Tenacious D is, but yet humor is still an integral part of what they do.

I have to say over the course of the three Philly shows I was super tickled by them leaning into the whole bit about Marty being in charge of the band-- in Shoehorn With Teeth, most obviously, but also in terms of marking the end of Istanbul and even Birdhouse, with Mark Pender repeatedly being like 'was that good enough?' and Marty sending him back to blowing his horn all over again until he finally gave his approval to stop, and everyone just holding the last note of Birdhouse and turning to stare at him until he closed it out, like if Marty says so we'll just be here all night.

but it stands to reason, I guess. he is the only one Mama TMBG gave a name of his own. 😅

I have tickets for both shows in Boston, June 5th and 6th. However, I forgot to renew my ID and don't have an appointment till June 1st. So I will not have a new valid ID. The show is 16 plus and Google AI says I probably won't be able to get in.

I'm going to see Toadies and Local H at the same venue this Wednesday.. that's an all ages show.

I guess I'll ask at this show what they think, but I'm pretty bummed out thinking I'll have to go into Boston to risk not getting into the show.

I'm 46.

Thoughts anybody?

They also did Birdhouse, Dr. Worm, and Wu-Tang which can be found on the same YouTube channel

Hey everyone,

I'm a casual TMBG enjoyer, I was raised on their music as my dad is a huge fan. The last time I saw them was in Atlanta probably 14 years ago.

I wanted to ask if anyone knew anything about the tour Setlist. I would love to see them in Brooklyn next week, but would love to hear a lot of the stuff I grew up on. Songs from Lincoln, Apollo 18, Flood, etc. I also enjoy Join Us a lot, that was the last album I listened to with my dad.

Does anyone know if they're playing an older Setlist one of the three nights, and which one it might be?

Thanks in advance!

I had to leave the show after the second set. Can someone tell me what I missed?
