PERFORMANCE NOTES
Short instance of guitar feedback/sustain right before beginning of Let Her Dance sparks a quick pavlovian quote of the next note of I Feel Fine (woulda been fun if they'd actually played it).
For Twine Time MC tries out a Gibson guitar in place of his usual Fender. He says it feels like "changing your religion . . ."
At the head of Cynical Girl somebody (GB?) plays a quick snatch of John Fogerty's Rock And Roll Girls (one of about 10 billion rocksongs to rumpelstiltskin magic out of the same I IV V chord progression).
In the middle of Cynical Girl MC gets lost ("That ain't right").
The first encore song is performed by Glen Burtnick. Not sure of the official title. I scrounged the internet looking for something by him that matched what lyrics I could make out [his heliumballoon singing range didn't help] but couldn't come up with anything. So I guessed, based on what seemed to be the most repeated phrase.
MC seems chuffed to have such a well-known player as Kenny Aronoff as a sideman, and namechecks him a number of times during the show. But KA commits one of the most egregious flaws for a drummer: he fails to keep accurate time. As impressive as his muscular fills may be, he often comes out of them a quarter of a beat late - - - which negates a drummer's MAIN function, which is to act as the metronome that keeps everybody else anchored. Nevertheless his participation in this lineup may have influenced the unlikely choice of I Can See For Miles as a final encore (you need a drummer potentially as frenetic as a Keith Moon to pull that one off), and the accelerando at the beginning & end of Rockin' Around In N.Y.C. (to suggest a car speeding up) is a nice touch.
WARTS
The beginning of the first encore song (by Glen Burtnick) = upcut (battery swop). Crossfaded with applause to smooth transition.
