Chris'isms:
Before slow Sting Me...
"Hey, wait a minute, man. Who threw their fucking drink up here? You need to fucking get the fuck out of here. (cheers) I don't give a rat's ass
what you think a good time is to you, it's about everyone else. That's bullshit, man. (cheers) If you're that stupid and you're that drunk you
don't need to be around all these people. (cheers) That's fucking not right. Don't throw shit at us."

After Slow Sting Me...
"I just want to make something, uh, clear. (pause) And it's...and I...because we've been on the road for about 80 days, you know...and, uh, it's
not really about just fuckin'...you know, coming up and i...it's not about what people think a good time is...I mean if you fight in here, IT
BUMS US OUT! If you throw shit at us, IT BUMS US OUT! If you do anything to mess with somebody else's high, IT BUMS US OUT! (cheers)...So, on any
other night of the year, you can do what the fuck you want, tonight man, if you, if you're that kind of person and you can't get your shit
together, you need to just GO!!! (cheers)...'cuz we have a long way to go tonight, and I don't want to have to stop again 'cuz it's bullshit,
you know?"

Steve's Show Notes (edited from his Crowesbase post):
- Gov't Mule opened
- A very hot, sweaty, brick building in an industrial area, complete with a corner store and crackheads across the street...hard to call a dump a
"music complex", but whatever...
- Possibly the weirdest setlist of the tour (either this show, Phoenix or Vegas, it's a tossup). Eric Nanninga's source is superior to mine so I
never really spread this one (until now!). Bizarre setlist structure, with a GREAT FTP in "Hot Burrito #1" INTO #2, this show never really got
going, or did it? "Silver Train", for the record, DID smoke!
- Rating: 8/10
