Flight of the Conchords

FOTC shows across the country sold out in record time. Scalpers bought up all the tickets in the pre-sales, so we real fans missed out. I was pretty bummed the night before the show as my brothers told me they would get me a ticket for my birthday on Craigslist (where, mind you, even there the $38+fees tickets were going for $95-$300) but "didn't get around to it". I decided I would check TicketBastard one last time, and lo and behold, I found one lone ticket in the Mezzanine of Jones Hall.

As hit-or-miss this season of FOTC has been (in my opinion, it pales when compared to the first), their live performance was HILARIOUS. I didn't stop laughing. They are exactly like one would expect; I honestly don't know if they are playing characters or playing themselves. Bret had a plastic rhinoceros figurine glued to the top of his acoustic guitar. Jermaine did most of the talking/dancing/voices. Even Eugene Merman (aka: the landlord) who opened by doing his "making fun of Jews, but I am Jewish so its ok" stand-up was a total riot.

My videos are no where near as good as these so I will post real ones instead.
"Business Time"



My all-time favorite from the show, "Foux Da Fa Fa"



And this little gem....their first ever televised performance of "Bowie in Space" (Bret was 23...)


Concert Rating: A+
