They Might Be Giants

In the winter of 1988, They Might Be Giants performed a remarkable live show at Performance Space 122 in New York City, marking a vibrant period in their career. Just before this show, they had released their second studio album, "Lincoln," in 1988. This album showcased the duo's eclectic style and lyrical creativity, featuring hit tracks like "Ana Ng" and "Don't Let's Start," which became fan favorites. An interesting tidbit is that the band often played benefit shows, like this one, highlighting their commitment to community and art spaces. Their unique blend of quirky, catchy tunes and distinct performances was a hallmark of their early career, helping to solidify their cult status in alternative music circles. This concert not only exemplifies their early energy and innovation but also reflects the intimate atmosphere that their live performances are famous for.
