Note: ^First show-opening Golgi since 12/6/97. * First Walk Away since 10/5/00 (80 shows). First Bike since 9/12/00 (95 shows). **The show ended at 11:55pm, long after a reported 11pm curfew, including an encore exceeding 22 minutes on its own! (The first set was 8:10-9:36pm, second set 10:07-11:36pm.) About halfway through Grind, they were singing in the wrong key and some (Fishman) couldn't hit the correct notes. They stopped, laughing, and huddled, trying to decide whether to re-start Grind again in the correct key or start something else. The crowd knew this because the band was too close to the mics and the crowd could hear the conversation. Trey realizes this and says,"Can you guys hear what we're saying when we are talking?" Crowd goes nuts and Trey says, "It was supposed to be a secret but Page blew the wrong note." They try to restart Grind, but it never happens and they huddle again, with Trey saying,"Hold on, don't go away." Crowd goes nuts again. After almost a minute, they step up to the mic with Trey saying,"If this doesn't work, Fish will sing Bike for you." They start Hello My Baby, but it is scrapped after 30 seconds because the band is laughing hysterically, and Trey proclaims, "And Fish will now sing Bike for you," and runs to the drum kit to start HYHU. Fish gets vacuum, goes center stage and says,"Welcome to the train wreck portion of the show. I hope everyone is enjoying it as much as we are. Maybe I'll remember some of the words to this song." Before going into Bike (forgetting a number of the lyrics) w/ vacuum solo at the end, then Jon did an intro of the band (introducing himself last as Henrietta), then Trey came back out and they did Loving Cup.
Tonight's show is celebrated by a $1,000 grant to Burgettstown Area Middle School Guitar Club from the Mockingbird Foundation.
