ENCORE: Sleeping Monkey
ENCORE 2: Chalk Dust Torture
ENCORE 3: Harpua[3]
Foam contained an All Things Reconsidered tease. Bowie included Simpsons and Oom Pa Pa signals. The second set was preceded by birthday wishes for a fan named "Amy" and a remark that Buried Alive was inspired by Jimmy Herring. Possum included a Random Note and two Aw Fuck! signals and a Long Tall Glasses tease from Trey. Harpua was set in the “teeming jungles of Brazil” and included a special guest appearance by Marley as “a vicious, flesh eating animal.” There were theme from Brazil teases, a brief full-band Fire tease, high-pitched “Brazil” squawks from Fish, and a preview of the Clifford Ball motto (four years early) as Trey introduced Page as “a beacon of light in the world of flight.” The Aquarium Rescue Unit was the opening act.
This show was part of the "1992 Spring Tour"

Killer audience source available for this show.They kick things off with a Landlady > Jim combo that sets a great tone early. There’s a cool little All Things tease at the start of Foam and a strong jam in Stash. Fluffhead is inspired, unfortunately there’s a tape flip. NICU features a cool little jam that leads nicely into a tight, albeit straightforward, Bowie closer.
Set two opens with Trey wishing Amy from Florida a happy birthday before asking if Jimmy Herring is still in the house. He jokes that they’re about to play “variations on a theme by Jimmy Herring, also known as Buried Alive.” Suzy is lively, and a solid Brother leads into the first TMWSIY > Avenu > TMWSIY of the tour. A smokin’ Possum wraps up the set, complete with two “Ah fuck!” signals when Fish forgets to stop playing for the first one.
Fish’s voice goes full Peter Brady during his part in Sleeping Monkey, which cracks everyone up. The walk-out music after the first encore is The Stars and Stripes Forever by the Czechoslovak Brass Orchestra and Rudolf Urbanec. Encore two brings a rippin’ Chalk Dust, and encore three a fun Harpua. Trey takes the crowd to the “jungles of Brazil” while Fish quotes the musical Brazil. There’s a quick Fire tease as Jimmy is introduced, and before Page’s organ solo, Trey calls him “a beacon of light in the world of flight” — the second nod to Clifford Ball in as many days.

Fishman is on fire second set. Very fast tempos make it a little sloppy. Suzy rocks tonight! A lengthier old time TMWSIY intrro. My Friend intro is sloppy.
Great encores but again, Harpua is super funny and sloppy. Haven't played it in a while.
