Setlist notes

Possum contained a Stash tease from Trey and the Bowie intro included Guelah and ‘A’ Train teases. Even though there was a show the next day, before Foam, Trey noted that this gig would be the last until July since the band was going into the studio to cut an album. Before Dinner and a Movie, Fish noted: “this is a song about America’s favorite pre-nuptial ritual.”
