Timeline notes: 'Gardening At Night' is played for the first time since 1986.

Notes:
-Before Daysleeper MS attempts to tella joke aout an elephant and a mouse but botches it and never finished.
-Before AMMB MS notes that they pull lyrics off the internet for his lyric sheets and that they are "phenominally wrong".
-MS notes they are a little nervous, this being the 4th big show since Monster [and minus one original member].
-cuts after almost every track.
-Gardening sounded great!
-What a difference from 1995. Early on in '95, MS was sloggging through ITEOTAWKI, forgetting lyrics.  This night, 4 shows in and the band delivers a blistering, light speed version of the same song, the way it as meant to be played.  They may have been nervous coing in, and I would give you the prior shows were a bit tentative but this is the night when they got their legs under them.  There were shows like this in '95, usually at the end of a leg, but it wasn't sustained for more than a couple shows.  Will it be in '99?  Time will tell...

Grade: B
