Trible Bill:
Cavemen featuring Cyro Baptista

Wicked Knee
-- Mago's set jammed into Wicked Knee's set without a break

Mago set:
01.  [03:23] - 'tuning'
02.  [00:46] - 'Intro'
03.  [08:08] - Introducing Mago (?) >
04.  [05:08] - Miss Teardrop >

# w/ Take the A-Train quote @00:00-00:18
^ unfinished
* horns join the band for transition into Wicked Knee set:
Marcus Rojas - tuba
Curtis Fowlkes - trombone
Steven Bernstein - trumpet

================================================================
t03 - pretty sure this is Introducing Mago as it begins similarly and to the album version and seems to follow the pattern
t05 - 99.9% sure this is Thundercloud
t08 - don't recognize this as anything, so I'm thinking it's Improv
-- notes by dug
================================================================

Mago is:
John Medeski - keys
Billy Martin - percussion


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
