John Flansburgh and John Linnell of They Might Be Giants came in to speak with Setlist’s Bree Wilde about some of their favorite shows they’ve seen over time.

“I saw Elvis Costello,” Flansburgh said, “essentially his first public performance. He played at the CBS Record Convention in the summer of 1977.
