thelot The audience source for this one is pretty rough, you can tell it’s been passed through a few cassette generations.

The show kicks off with Page thanking the crowd for not smoking while Trey noodles Smoke on the Water in the background. Seems like Page always ends up being the guy stuck making those announcements. lol Suzy gets things moving and Trey drops the proper name of My Friend after it wraps up. He even shouts out a fan, Steve E, for driving 18 hours to be there—then cracks a joke about having the bouncers toss him out “just to make it a night he’ll never forget.” Haha Reba is gorgeous as always. Page has to step in again before Maze with another no-smoking warning, saying the venue might shut it all down if people don’t cut it out. Melt keeps things tight, and Trey makes sure to reveal the name of Mound this time, something he skipped back at the Portsmouth debut. During the pause in Divided Sky, Trey clowns a fan by yelling out “Possum!”. lol

Set two comes out swinging with a ripping Llama. The In an Intensive Care Unit jam is playful and even drops a Simpsons signal for good measure. Both Gin and Brother hit solid, and then Fish breaks out the bagpipes along with another Syd Barrett number, Baby Lemonade. There’s even a little Sanity tease slipped in after that. Before All Things, Trey takes a moment to talk about how much he digs the tune and where it came from, and they roll it into a sweet Hood. Rocky Top slams the door shut on the second frame with plenty of energy.

The encore is a treat. Sanity makes a return after almost three years and they even bring it back at the original slower tempo. Memories and Carolina close things out, and considering they’re sung without microphones, they actually come through surprisingly clear on tape.
