First and last experience at the spaceship…great night. I was listening to this set a few weeks ago and smiling. The second set is a monster. I seem to remember craziness in the parking lot and rumors that someone had gotten trampled by a horse cop. I remember standing in a drum circle as the police blared their sirens 10 feet away, trying to get people to leave, and kids walking over to the cops and asking them to turn off their sirens. The cops eventually obliged.

This show is amazing. I love this SOAM…just so dissonant and weird. “Monster” is definitely a great word to describe the second set.

The second set from this show might be one of the best surprises I’ve heard in a long time. Picked up the Hampton/Winston box-set the other day for cheap and decided to listen to the other two shows first. Finally got around to listening to this show and damn, set 2 is fantastic. Possibly the best Ac/Dc I’ve heard to date and gotta love an Angry Pig Encore :thumbup:

I freakin love the Caspian from this show…

I love the '97 Caspians with those soaring guitar lines from Trey. This one and the Went version are my favorites.
