Flight of the Conchords - Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, NY, 6-9-2016

Normally, I don't post comedy at this blog, since it's a music blog. But I'll make an occasional exception for comedic songs. I've posted music from Allen Sherman and Spinal Tap in the past, for instance. Here's another one: Flight of the Conchords. If you haven't seen their TV show, you're missing out. I really enjoyed that. It's about a fictional musical duo, starring Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement, who are New Zealanders struggling to make it as musicians in New York City. One vital part of that show was that each episode featured a couple of original songs, which were consistently both funny and just well written songs. It's not easy to do both.

This is part of the leak of dozens of concerts from Port Chester, New York. Another person split the single audio file into songs. I further split out the talking parts.

The "Flight of the Conchords" T.V. show ran from 2007 to 2009, on H.B.O. They also put out albums in 2007, 2008, and 2009, plus a live one in 2019. They toured off and on from 2001 to 2018. This concert was the start of their 2016 tour. I just looked up their info, and I'm pleased that they resumed touring just last month, April 2026, for the first time since 2018. So let's hope the Conchords are starting a new chapter. They don't really need to reunite, because both Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement have been successful as actors in T.V. and movies.

Note that the first half hour of this recording is the opening act, a stand-up comedy routine by Arj Barker. There's a good connection to the main act, because in addition to being a stand-up comedian, Barker played a recurring minor role in the Flight of the Conchords T.V. show. I've made his stand-up act track "00." That way, if you just want to listen to the main act, that starts with track 01.

The music here is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent, although there's some echo/reverb marring the sound a bit. 

This album is two hours long exactly. It is an hour and 26 minutes long if you don't include Arj Barker's opening act.
