Notes:
-Before New Test Leper MS "We don't usually play this song and when we do we usually fuck it up. But tonight we're going to do it for Patti"
-Country Feedback solo a scant :53
-Begin The Begin gets one of six outings in Up Tour
-Before Black Boys On Mopeds MS "All right I tried to play this--this was a gift from Peter--and I tried to play it last night, I fucked it up really bad. So I'm assuming that most of you were probably not there last night right? You were? Then just ignore this. Go To sleep. It was not great...it was ok...no I sucked. I cannot play guitar to save my life, but god dammit I'm going to try". After the song "Hey Mike, let's show 'em how it's done. Now this guy can play guitar".
-Before ITEOTWAWKI MS revisits his Nostradamus story from the previous night, also debating the audience where Nostradamus as from and adding "He might have been off by a day or two so we're not really in the clear yet. But I have to say that I felt very good when it turned 12 o'clock last night and the world in fact was still as it is: fucked up and chaotic and kind of nutty but it's our world and we do with it what we are".
Grade: C
-I did notice some light pops late in encore, not sure if present throughout.
