OU NOTE: I ripped this from my own cassette collection, which I collected from 1988 to 1994. This is the 1GEN master direct from the TMBG extended family. Foolishly, I broke a promise and leaked this onto Usenet via tape trading in 1993 or so. It was the first and last tape I was ever given, believe you me.
NOTE 2: This was obviously recorded solely because they wanted to have a record of the New Year itself. The fact that we got half an hour of additional music is strictly incidental. Hence, this tape begins about 2/3 of the way through the 10PM show.
From the New York Times, 12/25/1987:
"They Might Be Giants, Gusto House, 197 East Fourth Street (information: Dial-a-Song). The prolific duo of John Flansburgh and John Linnell, also known as They Might Be Giants, write frantic, funny, tuneful pop songs, overstuffed with images and information and titles like ''Nothing's Gonna Change My Clothes'' and ''Alienation's for the Rich.'' Their latest works are dispensed via Dial-a-Song (718-367-6962), one of New York's most original answering-machine messages. While in concert, They Might Be Giants perform with taped backup, live accordion and guitar, homemade props and enough manic energy to make a listener forget they're using tapes. Sets at 10 P.M. and 12:30 A.M.; admission $10 all evening."
