Scrubbed some annoying local clappers from T2 (some idiot decided to clap right into the mics 18 times right at the beginning of the song), T10 (3 claps), T11 (4), T19 (10)

Based on the stage setlist, the band had planned (and then cut) "Sing A Simple Song" between "Windjammer" and "Little Wing", "Something" (assuming The Beatles) and "Ain't It Funky Now" between "Scratchitti" and "You Don't Know Nothing About Love", and they swapped "I'd Rather Go Blind" and "D'Yer Maker" and the "Freaking (reprise)" and "While My Guitar..."  I wouldn't have minded hearing Warren sing "Something"!  :)

Core band:
Marco Benevento - keys (and vocals on T2 & T21)
Joe Russo - drums
Ron Johnson - bass
Eddie Roberts - guitar

+ = just Marco, Alecia, and Joe
^ = w/Eric Krasno - guitar
* = w/Warren Hanynes - guitar, vocals
% = w/Scott Metzger - guitar
# = w/Alecia Shakur
@ = without Eddie Roberts


This was the headlining set from night 2 of the 12th annual NYC Freaks' Ball.  There was an opening set by Scott Metzger, Eric Deutsch, Haga Ben-Ari, and Joe Russo (who did double duty, playing the drums for both bands!) which is available here:
