Notes: Both Forbin and Stash referenced the Los Angeles riots that ensued after the Rodney King verdict was announced. During Icculus, Trey extolled the virtues of the Helping Friendly Book and remarked jokingly that The Aquarium Rescue Unit “used to be a feeble bluegrass band until they read this great book!” Glide was a birthday dedication. Bowie included Aw Fuck!, All Fall Down, Oom Pa Pa, Chaos, and Random Laugh signals, as well as the return of the Band/Crew Football Theme Song. Bowie also included We’re Off to See the Wizard teases. YEM included a strong Don’t Get Me Wrong tease. BBFCFM featured some zany on-stage antics that found Trey on top of his stack and Mike singing from down on the floor. The Aquarium Rescue Unit was the opening act.
