This was a 10:30pm show. Caveman w/Cyro Baptista opened, MAGO played second, and their set segued right into Wicked Knee's set as the horns walked out onstage during the last Mago tune. With so much music on the bill, this was an unconscionably late night for a Thursday...
Thanks to "mmwarchives" Bill Mulvey for the setlist help
