Set II: Freebird, Happy Birthday > Harry Hood, Tell Me Something Good -> Possum, Freeworld, Wilson
Encore: Slave to the Traffic Light
Show Notes: Freeworld was sung by an audience member. Happy Birthday was sung to Sue and Debra and was a long, reggafied version. This version of Freebird was an actual attempt at the song and not an a cappella version, but it was performed quite mockingly and not in its entirety. It did, however, feature Ninja Mike on vocals. Also, Tell Me Something Good featured a female lead vocalist.

Show Notes: Many debuts were played, including the “new” Rift, Maze, My Friend, Mound, NICU, and Sleeping Monkey. This show is also historic because the band gave us the first ever language instructions. Trey referred to NICU as “In an Intensive Care Unit,” though that title was later changed, and referred to My Friend as “Knife.” Bowie contained many signals, including the Simpsons Signal, the Fingerscrape Signal, two musical Get Back signals, and many other, rarer ones. Possum included Simpsons, Turn Turn Turn, and Fingerscrape Signals.
