%Nopener**, ^^40's Theme
E:
***Send Me On Down Jam > Late In The Evening****
^with Fuzz-like jam, may have segued into walletsworth
*Introduced as their attempt at a dance remix. Thought that would mean Blue Techo but instead it was this. Sounded more like a Punk Rock Anthemy type version to me. Imagine a Fugazi double time version. Wailed.
#Began with various backwards guitar riffs, then Jake talking in a way that it sounded like his vocal track was backwards, motioning with his hand as if to imitate turning a record backwards to make such noises, repeating "Ognir", and then going into a backwards version of Ringo. So it started with the "Buncha greasy animals" part, then the spacewalk middle jam section, then the lyrics portion (minus first verse?), then intro riff and done.
$Very short jam of the outro gansta rap riff, ~1 minute
$$Van Hagar, mainly just the beginning piano riff each time
##Very end piano melody was played over minor chords
%Banter, Pony lights up a smoke and Bayliss says Pony only smokes when he's drinking. Pony then sticks cigarette between strings on the headstock of his bass, and comments on how he always wanted to do that.
**Lounge style, with Jake on kit and Myers on vocals
^^with Right Now tease just before starting
*** transition from 40's was a Pony bass solo, lasting up until the band came back out and began the encore. Song was semi-country style jam over repeating "send me on down" lyric.
****With jam reprise after bringing it down and thanking the crowd as if it was over.
