Open Improv > Vergessene Improv* > Open Improv > Shack, We’re So Happy > Friday Afternoon In The Universe, Wiggly’s Way
Pakalolo, Syeeda’s Song Flute > Open Improv > Improv (w/”Mystery Gus” melody)+ > Open Improv^//
Set II incomplete * this improvisation centres around a melody we find popping up later in MMW’s shows: On April 14/2000 they open an acoustic show with a loose working of this melody but it’s underdeveloped and never heard from again; the song first debuted in full on April 25/2007 as part of a short acoustic tour. A version of the song from that tour was later released on the 2012 live acoustic album Free Magic with the following title: Ballade In C Minor, ‘Vergessene Seelen’. The song was then subsequently played on the Fall ’12 and Spring ’13 acoustic tours in support of the album. ‘Vergessene Seelen’ translates to “Forgotten Souls”, so I labeled this improvisation ‘Vergessene Improv’ — the forgotten improv. From 3:50-6:45 of the track is kind of a lead-in to the ‘Vergessene’ melody which comes in strong at that point and is the main theme for the following 6min or so. + “Mystery Gus” melody first introduced just past the 9min mark and solidified @10:05 of this track, might be from a real song but the only other place I’ve identified the melody is during the band’s 4 instrumental performances of the Combustication tune ‘Whatever Happened to Gus’ in early 1999 (1/14, 1/16, 3/20 & 3/23) — see The Shack Project 1999 page for links to the shows https://theshackproject.com/tsp1999/ ^ recording fades out/cuts at the end of this track leaving Set II incomplete

One Set Only *on the circulating recording @00:11-00:20 there is DEAD AIR during this break -- not sure this is really a set break since Billy says that LCTDT(P)+ was the last song they played; he does say it's "good to be back", but I think he means the town not back on stage after a break ... although, we have no record of them playing in this town before, that doesn't mean they hadn't, but it also doesn't mean they had - HA! However, our MMW gig history for 1991-1993 is spotty: http://mmwhistory.com/1991.html http://mmwhistory.com/1992.html http://mmwhistory.com/1993.html ... conclusion: Noting this as a ONE SET show.
