...fact, many of TMBG's most beloved songs were radically reworked from their album versions at the concert, to great effect. "Ana Ng," one of their earlier rave-ups, was slowed down to an elegiac pace. "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" was almost unrecognizable on just a lone guitar with keyboards. "The Guitar" turned into a neo-hippie psychedelic experience, replete with feel-good arm-waving from the audience. "Particle Man" consisted of Linnell solo on the accordion. As an added bonus, this particular song's midsection included a hilarious interlude of "Kum-ba-ya," in a minor key, no less...
