TMBG BEST SONG VIII ROUND 1 PART 6:

ALBUM: Long Tall Weekend (1999)

[teedeekay]

Today in 1999, I attended the Long Tall Weekend release party show at NYC's Irving Plaza two days before my 25th birthday 🙌

After the show ended, we received unexpected party favors in the form of an Emusic t-shirt and the coveted Long Tall Weekend CD 😲

Afterwards, I was outside the venue and somebody leaving asked if anyone wanted his VIP pass. I certainly did 😎

Happy 25th anniversary to Long Tall Weekend!

I'm gravely sorry for missing They Day, I was far too distracted by several things.

As an apology, here is an interesting performance of the song "They Got Lost".

This is a version that I like to call the middle version because...

It's faster than the slow version, but slower than the fast version.

The bridge has the same number of measures as the slow version.

This performance also comes from one of Graham Maby's last shows as a full-time bassist for They Might Be Giants (he would briefly return in '99, due to Danny Weinkauf being on paternity leave).

From the TMBG collection: My VIP/All Access laminates. No, I have never been backstage. These all came from eBay except Long Tall Weekend, which was given to me after the release party show.

The artist who created the album art for Long Tall Weekend is Michael Kupperman! He also created art for each song on the original release of the album. The art for each song on the album can be seen here

there’s something very cool and inspiring to me about the original designer for They Might Be Giants’ “Long Tall Weekend” album art going back and redesigning it for the recent rerelease.

i love seeing artists revisit old work and showing their improvement !!

If someone were to ask me what my favorite version of "They Got Lost" is, I'd probably have a bit of trouble deciding.

Most will likely say the version from Severe Tire Damage that's rather fast and played in A Major, rather than the version on Long Tall Weekend that's much slower and played in E Major.

However, one thing I find interesting about the slow version is that every known live performance of it is also played in A Major, the same key as the Severe Tire Damage version.

As an example, here is a recording of the slow version played live (probably one of my favorite performances of the song).
