*After Page finishes a lengthy and beautiful piano solo, Trey begins his part of the “muel duel” by playing a nice classical riff (20 seconds or so). He then pauses and plays a few heavy metal licks that then go into “Ha Ha Ha” (the band follows). **After “Ha Ha Ha,” Trey does a bit more of his guitar solo, which is followed by the “Russian” dance segment.

#2

The first set opens with a nice long Moma, but the rest of the set is pretty standard first set stuff.

The Wolfman’s set 2 opener is by far the highlight of the show and really the only thing worth recommending. It’s really the only exploratory playing they did at this show, the rest is pretty standard stuff. Not that that’s bad, but nothing out of the ordinary.
