Crispy SBD source available for this show. Big thanks to Arty for remastering this classic performance!

They kick things off with a solid Curtain>Melt combo. Melt features a killer little jam. Page takes a B3 solo for the first time, having used his electric piano during the solo section in the first three versions of Maze. Still no tension and release during Trey’s solo. The Sky that follows is blistering. Fluffhead is well played, with a cool Follow the Yellow Brick Road tease during the arrival section. This leads straight into the best Antelope up to this point, and arguably one of the best Antelope’s of their career. This Antelope is absolutely bananas!

An inspired Wilson opens set two with fun Somewhere Over the Rainbow teases in the intro. A solid Brother follows. Horse>Silent is still a work in progress, lacking Trey’s guitar trills at the end. Landlady>Lizards makes for an interesting pairing, as does the My Mind>Sloth that follows. Henrietta treats the audience to two solos — one from his new Bag-Vac and the second from his vacuum. The Possum set closer includes another Secret Language lesson, as Trey notes “word has not spread yet since the Portsmouth shows.” Solid but fairly straightforward version.

At the start of the encore, Mike says, “I’ve never played one of these before, it’s high time I start,” referring to his new accordion. Beautiful opening to Contact, and Fire rips to wrap up the evening.
