The Cabooze Minneapolis MN: November 23, 2002
Notable
Short intro into Kabump. Jam at 6:45 with Ryan’s bass line is cool.
2nd Self goes into a big improv jam.
The Crooked One, BB “thanks for coming out, everybody, happy Saturday.”
Jake starts in with some picking jazz notes as they begin The Fussy Dutchman.
Joel says “that’s the Stylophone right there” apparently Jake was playing. “1967, purchased at Radio Shack.”
Wappy Sprayberry is still just an improv jam based around Ryan’s bass line.
Jake plays the recently common guitar riff from JaJunk, telegraphing their intent to play JaJunk next.
A rare A Fifth of Beethoven, only played 32 times mostly in 2000-2004, finishes the set.
Miss Tinkles takes almost 5 minutes to work up and start, as the guys jam on an increasing-energy run up to the beginning of the song.
As usual, and in an uninterrupted run so far, Tinkles morphs into Mulche’s like they are a single song. Back to “bacon” in the first verse.
A solid Divisions comes blasting straight out of Mulche’s Odyssey.
It’s a funny uncommon with some weird synthesizer sounds from Joel throughout and after the song
Then a nice standalone get in the van.
Andy’s Last Beer finishes set 2.
Encore: Family Feud Theme, and Jake challenges the audience to name the game show. A solid Hurt Bird Bath ends the show.
