Set 1: Sample in a Jar, Uncle Pen, Fast Enough for You > Maze, Guyute, I Didn’t Know, Split Open and Melt, Sweet Adeline[1]

Set 2: Peaches en Regalia, Mound, Tweezer[2] -> Big Black Furry Creature from Mars[3] -> Makisupa Policeman -> NICU -> Tweezer -> Jesus Just Left Chicago -> Harry Hood, Golgi Apparatus

Encore: Sleeping Monkey > Tweezer Reprise

[1] Without microphones.
[2] Norwegian Wood tease.
[3] Shorter version without all verses.

Notes: Sweet Adeline was performed without microphones. Tweezer included a Norwegian Wood tease. BBFCFM was a shorter version without all verses.

Definitely some strangee stuff going on here. Weird segues into and out of BBFCFM, Makisupa in a minor key, Mike throwing some odd notes around in the composed section of Hood. Lots of great stuff too, the Makisupa->NICU->Tweezer is really smooth, for instance. I think you can tell they were feeling experimental in a different sort of way that day.

Also of note, I think it’s easy to forget that FEFY can be this good.
