Gap = shows since the song was last played, at the moment it was played.
Melodious "Back of the Worm" madness. [Funk flows to "Back of the Worm" jamming, then opens to serene and melodic grooving, which eventually grows funky and percussive again. Helluva show opener!]
work on Reba, Jam, Funky Bitch, Blues Jam > Dog Log
Ghost began the first of two nights of the infamous "Worm" banter, with Fish saying "I think you know where you are" and Trey responding with "You're on the back of the worm!" The "Worm" was also mentioned in Ya Mar, Saw It Again, and the jam out of Cities, which also included When the Saints Go Marching In and Santa Claus is Coming to Town teases by Trey. Mike teased Time Loves A Hero in Ghost. Trey teased Dave's Energy Guide in Limb By Limb. Dirt was introduced as "Green Grass High Tides Forever." The second set began with a Fish piano solo that evolved into a jam, as the rest of the band eventually joined the stage and Fish moved to his drum kit. Bathtub Gin contained a Little Drummer Boy tease from Trey and a Simpsons Theme tease from Mike. Loving Cup contained a Frankenstein tease from Mike. The soundcheck's Dog Log was performed in a slow funk manner with "the crew doesn't get to eat" alternate lyrics. This show was officially released as part of the Amsterdam box set.
