Notes:
-First use of "Be all that you can be" tag before Orange Crush?
-King Of Birds guitar sounds different. Cant put my finger on it exactly. Strumming instead of arpeggiating?
-Before Tired Of Singing Trouble, MS "This is a very simple question, you can answer however you wish. Am I singing on key? Yes? Wait a minute. Wait, let's get this together. Everybody who thinks I am say 'yes'. Everybody who thinks I'm not say 'no' [majority favors 'yes']. OK. I don't have any hearing tonight, so this is all kind of guesswork. Yes I lost my middle ear somewhere in Wisconsin. So, completely up in the air. If at any point in the evening I start getting really out of key where it's a little majority swing, like the Ginsberg (?). If at any point I'm getting a little bit too out of key, I'd like for everyone between a song, to just say 'you're singing out of key' and at that point we'll devise some plan to blow snot out of my head or something".
-MS seems to have traded his pre-Pretty Persuasion harmonica sol for a cowbell solo.
-MS before ITEOTWAWKI "I can see you".
-MS before Auctioneer "I walked and I talked and I crawled a great deal down that (?)
-Pop Song 89 is getting some of the Hi, Hi lyrics
Grade: A
-not nearly as good as 11-04, but I'd say 11-04 is the outlier,and this is a pretty good show as well.
