Timeline notes: Towards the end of the show Michael confronts an annoying Nazi supporter. Both 'Feeling Gravitys Pull' and 'Gardening At Night' were cut short because the audience was getting out of hand. I think it was one guy who was being a jerk, and it sounds like he got kicked out. After '1,000,000', Michael does some a capella that includes what will be lyrics from 'Finest Worksong' and 'King Of Birds'.

Notes:
-MS before Flowers Of Guatemala: "Genocide". Ater Maps & Legends, "I'm really trying to lift myself up here". Towards the end of Just A Touch "Don't you remember Tyrone's?  That you couldn't breathe and move".  After Strange "You suck!  The only thing worse than an old, facist Nazi is a young one...without a shirt on.  You suck!  What are you doing?...The rest of you guys are pretty OK".
-On the tape, there is a long gap of nothing, then a few seconds of crowd noise, MM says something, then silence again until the tape runs out.
-The Nazi incedent occurs near the end of the show, and the songs cut short occurs towards the beginning

Grade: C
-one of the better sounding tapes I own. The snippets and a confrontational MS make this show.
