Note:
At about 11:39 the pre-amp got shut off...there is about 2 missing minutes from the show...I pieced it together. The splice is hardly noticeable.

Michael Shrieve - drums (Santana)
Reggie Watts - vocals (Maktub)
Michael Carabello (?) - percussions

"These five laid down some sweet, liquid grooves that had the packed flag pavilion shimmyin', shakin', laughin' and hangin' on their every move. It's always fun to watch Hauser kick out his trademark mercurial bass grooves, regardless of who he's playing with. Locked tight with Shrieve's drumming, they were the underlying current upon which Skerik and Reggie surfed. Those two were meant to play with one another and were simply amazing to watch! Playing a game of tag with each other's lines, Reggie would sing something and Skerik would blow the same line back at him through his tenor; sort of an ongoing musical knock-knock-who's-there. At one point Reggie started singing lines like he was calling out the rhythm to a tabla piece (in general, tabla players will sing the percussive lines they play before performing the piece on their tabla), and I couldn't help but wonder if he was aware of the practice. Memories of tabla maestro Vishal Nagar and his workshop at WOMAD USA came to mind. Reggie crooned, crowed, cockled and cackled, creating a large palette of monkey noises to amuse us. 100% improvisation, you could do nothing but smile and get down to the groove as Trilon held the crowd mesmerized with their performance."
