They Might Be Giants

During the sweltering summer of 1992, They Might Be Giants were riding high on the wave of their recently released album, "Flood," which had burst onto the scene just a year prior. This album featured their infectious hits like "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" and "Particle Man," widely praised for its clever wordplay and catchy melodies. The live bootleg recording from the Riviera Theatre in Chicago captures the band at a time when they were becoming a household name, thanks to the success of "Flood." Interestingly, this show was part of a breakthrough year for them, where their quirky, engaging performances were drawing more attention than ever. This particular setlist would have likely incorporated both fan favorites and new material, providing a raw, unfiltered glimpse into their vibrant live energy and unique connection with audiences.
