They Might Be Giants

On September 11, 1997, They Might Be Giants performed at Page Auditorium in Durham, and this live recording captures their unique sound during a pivotal moment in their career. Just before this show, they released their acclaimed album "Factory Showroom" earlier that same year, which featured a blend of quirky lyrics and infectious melodies. This album was a significant turn for the band, showcasing their trademark style while also venturing into more complex musical ideas. Interestingly, this performance occurred about four years prior to the infamous events of 9/11, making it a poignant snapshot of a time just before everything changed. They Might Be Giants are known for their whimsical yet sharp commentary on culture, and this live show undoubtedly reflects their adventurous spirit during that era.
