Notes: This was the second show of The Great Went festival. Tweezer featured
a Cities-like jam and Simple teases, and the Digital Delay Loop Jam
included London Bridge is Falling Down teases. Disease was unfinished.
Bathtub Gin contained a Proud Mary tease from Page. Throughout the weekend,
fans painted pieces of wood that were assembled into an Art Tower. During
Disease, Page and Fishman painted their portions of the Art Tower; Mike
and Trey painted theirs during 2001. The Art Jam saw the crowd carry the
pieces of the band’s art to the side of the venue where it was hoisted onto
the Art Tower and added to the fans' art. During Tweezer Reprise, the Art
Tower was burned to the ground as The Great Went came to a close. As the
Hood jam kicked in, Trey asked Chris to turn the lights off and the band
jammed while the front section of the audience engaged in the first Hood
glowstick war. Trey remarked to the crowd at the end of the jam that the
visual display was cool. Between the first and second sets, the Bangor
Symphony Orchestra performed selections from Stravinsky and Debussy as a
red-smoke-spewing glider synchronized its swoops and dives to the music.
Buffalo Bill was played for the first time since December 31, 1994 (204 shows).
