Soundcheck: My Mind's Got a Mind of its Own, Poor Heart, Character Zero, Billy Breathes, work on Billy Breathes

SET 1:

Golgi Apparatus: Energetic, Trey sounds good. Much better than the one from 7.15.96 >

Guelah Papyrus: The ending before they go back into the chorus is a mess. >

Rift: Trey on fire with his solo. Rips it to shreds. >

Tweezer: Trey dominates. The hard strumming/machine gun/explosion is great. It’s short but this one is a lot of fun.

If I Could: Very mellow (no Trey solo really) and short.

My Mind's Got a Mind of its Own: Standard.

Split Open and Melt: Below average. The ending is oddly rushed.

The Horse > Silent in the Morning:

Taste: Longer than normal Fish intro.

Train Song[1] Page on xylophone trying to re create the solo that Fish took on the album

Fee[2] Standard >

Timber (Jerry the Mule) Standard >

Johnny B. Goode: Standard.

SET 2:

Llama: Standard.

Theme From the Bottom: Standard. >

Reba: Beautiful, sustained note from Trey 10:13 – 10:31. Strong jam but not much of a climax at the end.

Life on Mars? Standard.

Free: Some of the best vocals you will ever hear out of this tune right here in this version.

Run Like an Antelope: Standard. >

Simple: Standard. Very intentional segue into Prince Caspian. ->

Prince Caspian: Standard. >

Suzy Greenberg: Standard.

ENCORE:

Harry Hood: Below average. Trey strums his way through the parts that typically would be the bridge to the climax.

Summary: Very straightforward. I really like this Tweezer but not enough to assign it replay value. Would rate this show as a 3/5.

Replay Value: None.

[1] Debut.
[2] Trey sang verses through megaphone.

Train Song debuted at this show and was dedicated to the fans that were following the band around Europe via the rails. Trey sang the verses of Fee through a megaphone.
