This setlist is incomplete, likely out of order, and includes parts of the three sets performed that evening. Fish played for most of show, which featured upwards of two dozen musicians in rotating jams including: Derek Trucks on sarod, Kofi Burbridge on flute and keyboards, Jeff Mosier on banjo, Michael Kang on mandolin and fiddle, Gary “El Buho” Gazaway and Michael Ray on trumpet, Dr. Dan Matrazzo and T. Lavitz on keyboards, Bob Baglione and Jimmy Herring on guitars, Jeff Sipe, Todd Nance and Yonrico Scott on drums, Count M’Butu on percussion, Lincoln Metcalf as conductor and on French horn, Todd Smalley, Ed Nitty and John Cowan on bass, two female vocalists, and Fish, who played drums, tambourine, congas, and vacuum. Col. Bruce Hampton was crowned “King of Zambiland” and led Fixin’ to Die.

Review by Chadpadams

Chadpadams I was recently scouring the web to find the 12/22/97 Zambiland Orchestra show because it was one of the coolest and most unique live concert experiences I’ve had. I couldn’t even find a complete set list. I recorded that night off another guy’s mics and have the full 3 sets. My DAT players are no longer functional and I don’t recall the sound quality. Any chance any of you could point me to someone who can circulate this masterful event? Possibly even remaster?
