Thanks

[@andrewgrant6516]

So cool. Never got to see them as a duo. Notices John look straight down the lens, then remembers how big video cameras were in 1990. Yeah, pretty hard to record it discretely.

[@eepipes]

Flans in that well-loved and often-worn Ramones shirt makes my heart flutter

[@carmenshepard8916]

40:54 imagine being at their concert and flans starts snapping like that

[@RQLAJI2]

He started snapping the Second he got on stage

I was there !!!!!!!!!!!! Life-long fan in UK !

[@colourful_static5563]

hope they come back here soon, late 2023 I'm praying. want to see them SO bad

[@ConnorAR]

@@colourful_static5563 They are playing in the UK late this year. I am seeing them in Leeds in November.

[@Luschan]

Damn, were they still were just a duo in 1990? I’m so used to them being a full band, it’s weird to see just the Johns performing. They absolutely destroyed though.

[@Freezepark]

they started using a full band for the Apollo 18 tour in 1992

[@louisrios5546]

I got to see them 3 or 4 times as just a duo in small clubs. For me, those shows were more fun than with the full band.

[@L0REN0R2Z0RR0]

@@louisrios5546 I don't think they would be more fun at a 1,000+ capacity venue.

[@bupobm]

@@Freezeparkand Apollo 18 was still recorded as a duo (cept for some guest appearances) and their first full band recorded album was John Henry which was released in 1994

[@allabouthumphrey9516]

16:30 me too girl

[@L0REN0R2Z0RR0]

Wait, does John tune his guitar down for She's An Angel during The Famous Polka's first accordion solo? Now that's efficient time management, he learned from Joe's mistakes!

[@sonicsophie]

Thank you SO much for uploading this. Breaks my heart I was born in 1994 and could never experience the Johns here, but people like you uploading these shows to youtube are saints!!

[@davie5045]

I born in 2006 :( fuck

[@chaichapstick]

i feel you on that. i was unlucky enough to not have even heard of tmbg until 5 years ago, theyre so much my favorite i wish i couldve known them longer than this but i feel lucky to have them in my life now!

[@sonicsophie]

@@chaichapstick Me too! So fortunate, and one day soon hopefully I'll get to see them live :)

07’ here! My dad saw them in Milwaukee in 92’ during the Apollo 18 tour, he was the first one on stage during their famous stage collapse.

Josh Cook it’s come and gone a few times. I think they used it a few years ago.

[@TwiPrime]

I'm pleased that they sing the lyrics to "The Famous Polka" in this performance. :)

[@tapeflipper]

Is this 1990? Flans introduces Purple Toupee with something to the effect of "off [their] soon to be available 2nd album".

[@L0REN0R2Z0RR0]

Maybe later released in London? He said similar stuff at a gig in Germany back then

Hey, yes I'll be at Leeds (original date), Manchester and Edinburgh.

They look so young! And Flans looks so thin! Such a weird set list, not even finishing on Birdhouse or Istanbul because they hadn't been hits yet. I was taking my GCSEs.
