Timeline notes: Robyn Hitchcock guests on 'Wild Thing' and 'There She Goes Again'. Michael prefaced the song by saying 'We were going to play Perfect Circle but...'. Assumingly they needed easy songs to play given the lack of rehearsal.

Notes:
-Sound improves drastically during Orange Crush
-A bit of a choppy performance wise as the band seems to be dealing with a technical issue that causes a delay between songs.  Also a lot of (almost) off mic (yet undecipherable) chatter amongst the band as they work through it.  This is mostly toward the beginning of the show.
-Only There She Goes Again on this tour, last time played?
-MS's end of show announcements include introducing Perter Holsapple and "Don't take exctasy".
-While MS is introducing Holsapple, someone strums the chords to Wild Thing or There She Goes Again, they are similar.  After There She Goes Again is played MS 'We were going to play Perfect Circle but this will be better'. and they play Wild Thing
-After After Hours, someone says "The Elvises have left the building".

Grade: B
-Starts out really bad but makes a great recovery
