[1] Sparks and Landlady teases.
[2] Trey repeated the first line of Esther several times.
[3] Manteca teases.
Performers: Trey Anastasio, Page McConnell, Jon Fishman, Mike Gordon
Notes: Bowie included Sparks and Landlady teases. Foam (introduced as one of Fishman’s favorite songs) was preceded by a HYHU tease while Fishman fixed his cymbal. Uncle Pen was introduced as a band favorite and dedicated to a fan in the crowd. Trey repeated the first line of Esther several times, as if he had forgotten the rest of the lyrics. Slave was played for Mike from “the Telluride contingency” and was preceded by Trey’s story about the ‘88 Colorado tour. After Slave, Fishman came front and center to the tune of HYHU to tell his infamous “bear story.” Afterwards, Trey referenced the July 30, 1988 Telluride show, where Fishman was late. Chalk Dust included Manteca teases.
This show was part of the "1991 Winter/Spring Tour."

Lots of fun banter from this show, including my first time hearing the Bear story. Musically, not too much happening, but I will say that the Weekapaug Groove is STRAIGHT UP F***ING FIRE!! Also, I really enjoyed the Slave. Finally, I'll mention that this show had most of the energy that the 3/15 show had but was focused and tight. Three stars.
