They Might Be Giants Live Performance of Why Does The Sun Shine in New York City

Venue: Sony Studios Location: New York, New York, United States Date: October 14, 1994

In 1994, They Might Be Giants was riding high on the success of their album "Apollo 18," which had been released just a year earlier. This period marked a dynamic phase for the band, blending their signature quirky sound with more polished production. The live performance captured in this video at Sony Studios showcases their innovative spirit, as it was part of a promotional CD featuring tracks from the concert. Interestingly, around this time, the band was experimenting with multimedia projects, demonstrating their keen ability to merge music with visual art. The concert not only highlighted their unique blend of rock and intelligent humor but also served as a testament to their growing popularity, appealing to both children and adults alike—something that was quite rare in the music scene of the 90s. This show represents a key moment in TMBG's evolution, bridging their earlier work with a newfound mainstream acceptance.
