Notes: *a bizarre sequence, where one drunken girl gets up onstage and starts dancing in front of Marc, calls her girlfriend onstage via Brad's mic, (actually sings lyrics about the girl in the purple dress) who starts dancing around with a dollar bill in her belt : ) It doomed the Joe Higley, but they eventually used up their 15 seconds.... ]

Notes: Ethan Fry. * New song. % (Brad quotes Mr. P.C.) # a Robert Frost poem, set to music by Brad ^ aka "Squeezy Toe" or "Esquisito" ! John Lennon cover. First Time Played. The sound was pretty boomy, but the crowd was nicer, and the room felt like a venue for music, and not for misery. The Earth Will Disseminate is incredible. They played it in Pittsburgh last they were there, and it blew me away, though I didn't know it's name. What I wrote in my set list then was "Awesome!!!", and it's still true. Tenfold remains strong, and I think the Coltrane licks came from the day's listening. Fuji is still surpisingly intersting for as silly as it seems to be, and Tinderbox is a powerhouse. I hadn't actually heard it live until last night, and it has risen from 'alright' to "Holy Shit!". Sam seemed to recognize the Lockless Door, though Brad later told me it was a first time played. Lucky Toe was a nice treat, and I didn't know they remembered Joe Higley, it's been so long. Dogs was more mellow than the absolute all-out throw-DOWN that i remember it as (see late 1999). I guess they rehearsed Imagine just a few days ago, and pulled it out. Talk about a crowd pleaser. Marc (and Brad?) played the melody, and the crowd sang the lyrics (as much as we all remembered). Someone told me this theory that Marc always calls Sorry when he feels like he blew it somewhere. Like he's really apologizing. If he did blow it, it wasn't while I was looking.
