Show notes:
- This was the famous "setlist wheel" show, where the band
essentially put their entire catalogue of songs on a wheel
and spun it to decide what they would play next. The result is
one of the longest (if not the longest) Guster shows on record.
- "Fifty Nifty United States" was actually a slot on the wheel
labeled "Brian Sings". You can actually hear him register his
disgust before he starts singing: "This fucken sucks..."
- "Faithfully" was actually a slot on the wheel labeled "Ari Sings
Journey", and featured tour manager Ari "Mean Joe" Weinstein on
vocals. This was Ari's last show as tour manager.
Recording notes:
- Happy Frappy (d1t01) has a 10-second dropout at 1:15 as I
momentarily lost my feed from the soundboard somehow.
