Comments:
w/Danny Louis on Keybaord.
+ first time played.

Guest musicians:
(1) George Porter Jr. on bass
(2) George on bass and vocals
(3) Tony Levin on bass
(4) Joey Arkanstat on bass and Jack Daniels bottle. As related to me by Derek this was part of a band joke on the audience with Joey having finished off 4/5ths of a 5th of JD in his back pocket. After claiming he (Joey) taught Warren everything he knew and that Warren still don't know shit and if he's learn to run a show yet. Then Joey picks up the bass and slams the bottle down hard on the stage breaking it (you can hear at 02:14) and the bass gets slammed with feedback and a scuffle ensues when Joey attacks Warren and Danny Louis and Matt Abts "come to the rescue". You can hear the crowd react. Joey tells Warren he can "kiss his hot toned ass baby" - this is supposed to leadup to the NYE countdown but it kind of starts to wind down when Joey takes off and there's still 30 seconds before NYE. You can hear Greg Rzab call Joey a jerkoff. Then Warren cracks up the crowd with "Even Jerry Springer said, Haynes, don't do it, don't do it..." :)
(5) Greg Rzab on bass
(6) Audley Freed on guitar
(7) Mike Farris on vocals during choral reprise
(8) Vernon Reid on guitar
(9) Vernon Reid on guitar and vocals
(10) Mike Farris on harmonica
(11) George Laks on keyboards
(12) Andy Hess on bass

Fades at the starts/ends of each set. Disc boundaries (which occur mid-set in both cases) are seamless.
