The show opens up with a raging Possum. What a treat for the students in attendance at this party! Ya Mar had a few choice Trey licks. The possible debut of Tweezer was dedicated to the Beta Intramural Hockey Team whose season went down the tubes earlier that day. Solid version! It’s possible this was debuted the night before in Columbus. Uncle Pen is another first that may have debuted in Columbus. They had a week on the road from Pennsylvania to Ohio to write and polish up some new songs. There’s a tape flip after Suzy. The beginning of A-Train is cut. Nice version of A-Train tonight. The third new song, Runaway Jim, has the OG verse. Before YEM Trey makes some more comments about the Beta Intramural Hockey team. Decent version with a nice B&D section and a trippy ending to the vocal jam. GXBX wrapped up the first half.
Trey dedicates another number to the Beta Intramural Hockey Team. A blues tune of course, Funky Bitch. Solid Mike’s Groove. The second jam in Mike’s was as long as Saratoga’s version. Nice intro to Groove with some cowbell action. Different approach to the ending from what they’ve been doing lately. Jesus Left and Lizards continued the stretch of unreleased material. Fish drums out the intro to Split Open for a bit before Mike comes in. Rippin’ jam tonight. A fun Contact provides a nice cool down. Fish shushes everyone saying “this is the nice part now” before the final coda. Rift makes another appearance. They reworked the first half and slowed the pace down from what we heard in Baltimore. I love the mellow intro! They kept busy on their week off! Cavern was another new number. This version has the OG verse as well. Plus, the ending has “Penile Erector” in place of Picture of Nectar. The ending goes on a little long and it’s clear they’re still working things out here. There’s a good chance all of these new songs were played the night before in Columbus. Trey typically lets the audience know when it’s a debut. Fish takes center stage for the last song of the set. The trombone gets dusted off for this version of Brain. Trey requests a “slightly relaxed version” before Carolina. Sweet Adeline makes it’s public debut. This debut performance is “slightly relaxed”. Whipping Post cuts during the first jam, but what’s available sounds great! It’s a shame this version isn’t complete, but it’s amazing someone captured this great night of music!
