10/31 — Another rough audience recording. Set 1 sounds a bit better than Set 2, but overall, the audio quality leaves a lot to be desired.

After Memories, they kick things off with a rippin’ Brother, launching into a fun, high-energy stretch to start the show. Trey takes a cool little solo during Foam, and YEM delivers another strong jam section. The vocal jam even includes a few “slice of pizza” shout-outs, which adds to the weird charm. Before Jim, Trey tosses out a “bucket of lard” comment, then they close the set with a really introspective version of Jim. Afterward, Trey mentions they’re going to take a break and return with the costume contest.

Set 2 starts with Landlady and segues into a long but entertaining costume contest. Trey keeps the slice of pizza and bucket of lard commentary going — would love to know the backstory there. He teases that Fishman has a costume worth seeing, but the audience will “just have to wait.” That leads into the opening loop of It’s Ice, with the band repeating “wait” over and over while the crowd responds with increasingly loud “No!” chants. Eventually, they launch into a smokin’ Llama, complete with some It’s Ice teasing. After Fee, Trey admits he forgot the last verse and jokes that they’ll just “wait,” bringing back the It’s Ice loop. This time the crowd takes it up a notch, yelling “Fuck you!” in response — hilarious, and maybe a sign people were getting a little annoyed. MSO follows, full of energy, and then another brief Ice loop gets the same profane reaction from the audience. The band uses this chaos to smoothly segue into Bowie, transitioning through shouts of “Wait,” “Hang on,” “Stop,” and “Hold on.” There’s a tape flip during the hi-hat intro, so some music is missing, but the rest of the version is fantastic — tight, concise, and full of fire. Showboat Gertrude delivers a completely over-the-top vacuum solo in I Didn’t Know that bleeds into the final verse. Hood makes for a perfect set closer, with a beautiful midsection and a jam that really delivers. You can feel good about this Hood!

Let’s hope this show gets an official release someday — it’s too wild to be stuck in lo-fi limbo.
