#With vicious start/stop jamming.
*Most of Harpua had Les Claypool and Larry
LaLonde from Primus. After the opening, Les
did a rap about a weed or something like that.
Then more Harpua and the Jimmy story (Jimmy
and Poster Nutbag going to Vegas). They stop
and camp. At the campsite, they start yodelling.
$Based on the song from Jim Stafford's "Spiders
and Snakes" album. #With yodelers. John McEuen
and Heather and Anamiekl August did a country/yodel
tune. The story continues, Jimmy & Poster
meet up with four "Elvii" on the edge of Las
Vegas and have a duel. ^The four "Elvii" sing
the first few verses of "Suspicious Minds"
and then Fish continues. Jimmy (Fish?) is
victorious. Then the dog/cat fight. Harpua
wins and the song finishes. At some point
everyone returns and then Brian Mantia, the
drummer for Primus, shows up for "Suzie Greenberg".
**All of the above musicians; with "Suzie
Q" jam lead by one of the Elvii. |

a "Cities" jam. **The band members take turns
painting large designs at the side of the
stage. Then, the crowd "carries" the pieces
of this design to the side of the venue where
it is assembled and hoisted for everyone to
see onto a tower. This wood tower is tall
and covered in painted plywood and has been
built during the two shows. As "Harry Hood"
goes into its jam, Trey asks Chris to turn
the lights off, and the band jams while the
front section has a gigantic Glow Stick War.
Trey tells the crowd at the end of the jamto
"go and get more of those, because that was
cool." #No Muel Duel. ^The entire art tower
was burned to the ground. |

was about "The Garden of Infinite Pleasantries,"
instead of the normal verse about Memphis;
with "Sneakin' Sally" teases. ^Jam out of
which sounded very much like "Tweezer Reprise."
^^With glowstick war. +After Tweezer Reprise,
Trey explained that the band wanted to do
something to combine ideas from The Clifford
Ball and The Great Went, going into detail
about the band/fan artwork from last year,
and announced that the band would do a free-form
ambient jam (lyric-less; nearly an hour long;
"in the Brian Eno style of ambient music"),
surrounded by candles that were made by the
audience throughout the day. There were no
other lights used during the jam (the band
used only the light from the candles), which
Trey explained is similar to the idea of what
happens during a glow-stick war, with the
light for the band coming from the fans. Because
candles were placed througout the stage, Trey
explained that they were in fact playing in
a "temple of fire" (as advertisements for
summer tour shows had announced). After finishing
the jam, the band picked up tiki torches,
lit them using the candles, and lit a small
stone (?) temple (which was left burning overnight
and throughout the band's performance on Sunday).

Lemonwheel Day Two. *With glowstick
war. +Long and drawn out; Fish introduces
"his band": Trey Anastasio on drums, Mike
"Cactus" Gordon on bass, "Chairman of the
Boards" Page McConnell, and himself as "Bob
Weaver." Fish introduces the next song as
"a love song about a turtle" (which would
have been "Terrapin"), but instead he performed
Sexual Healing ("a much better song anyway")
after "his band" finally ended "Hold Your
Head Up." ++Includes "Sounds of Love" vacuum
solo. #With "Sexual Healing" teases in the
intro. ^Henry Mancini cover; see 12-01-92.
Trey lit a tiki-torch (that looked like a
"giant fake doobie") and used it to light
a fuse which ran up Page's side of the stage,
across the backdrop, down Fish's side of the
stage, along the fence to a giant elephant-shaped
structure near the stage, which came to life
as fireworks went off both above it and from
behind the stage. Fish made elephant noises
with a trombone. Then, as they played the
song, the elephant blew water out of its trunk
(while smoke came from underneath it) and
led the crowd towards the campground. |

*Acoustic; dedicated to Wendy and Lisa,
two women whom Trey and Mike met the night
before. **Acoustic; with a "Freebird ending",
similar to the 07-20-98 "Poor Heart." Trey
dedicated it to the people at the Dead Goat
Saloon, and talked about getting free drinks
and karoake. He also discussed the band
picturing what it would be like if the entire
audience were on stage with them, with no
one in the audience. So they played it with
this image in mind. ^With a tease of the
"Monkey Man" (Rolling Stones, from their
"Let It Bleed" album). ^Narration was about
Jimmy going to Las Vegas and finding it
too crowded and crazy (may be related to
Trey's walking off the stage during "Ghost"
on Halloween, given his comment on how overwhelmed
he had felt, followed by a comment that
"everyone has an off night"). So Jimmy decides
to hitchhike to Salt Lake City, and he rides
with a driver listening to Pink Floyd's
"Dark Side of the Moon." Thus, the section
of "Speak to Me" through "Eclipse" is the
entirety of that album. #One verse sung
