I was at that show. Everything seemed a little extra powerful that night. I was shocked they went on, i was expecting after the opener that someone would come out and announce the band wouldn’t be playing that night. It’s a tape i haven’t gone back to much, as it’s a bit of a downer tho has some good davespeak.
People rave about Bartender (rightfully so), but i remember Proudest Monkey, So Damn Lucky, The Maker, Sister and Two Step being some of the standouts. Two Step had Roi-inspired lyrics in the intro. The show had Dreaming Tree and Loving Wings too.
It was a unique, powerful show to witness. I don’t know how it’s gonna be to someone who wasn’t there, but there’s no denying it’s a significant date and show in the band’s history. They truly gave everything they had in the tank that night. The next night they were just out of gas and defeated, and that’s completely understandable. I’ll never forget Jeff Coffin lifting their spirits during his solos that second night. It was really something special to watch that man help them get to the finish.
