*Trey on keys, Jon on bass, Page on drums, Mike on guitar. **Trey began to introduce Fish as 'Robert' before Fish interrupted, asking that he just be called 'Joe C,'the name of Kid Rock's sidekick. ***Trey flubs the entire last verse of the song, ending the song with "She died. Dead." ****As the band returned to the stage, the crowd sang "Happy Birthday" to Trey for his 36th birthday. #Trey takes the time to thank the people who have supported them, including the crew (the greatest crew in the history of music) and to talk about the hiatus and how they'll use it to write songs and recharge (so they can come back and play another 17 years) after these next 6 shows before talking about the strange dream he had last night that he was sitting in the middle of a field on a beautiful day, when suddenly he saw from the periphery of his vision people walking towards him...an army of people surrounding him before sitting down. One of them took an apple and handed it to him and explained that they wanted him to eat the apple as a gift, but he realized he had no teeth...but then a giant tooth grew out of his upper gum. But you can't eat an apple with one tooth. He began to get nervous that people would wonder why he wasn't eating the apple and he had a moment of panic. Luckily, at that moment, the sun flew closer to the sun than it had ever been in history, and as a result his first thought was that the earth would burn up, but instead, the earth acted in the way that a grape acts...it shrivled and turned into a raisin version of the earth. The ground wrinkled and became mountains and the people got crushed together into a big pile. Only moments before he'd been panicking, but being crushed together, he realized that all of his senses became much more vivid in the way that a raisin is more intense tasting than a grape...Sounds, emotions, love...And just as the earth was becoming a much more rich and vivid place, he found himself in this pile of people. This pile of people became a groping pile of love and goo and he realized that Gamehendge is a state of mind and you don't have to get there physically. He decided then that everyone needed to know how simple it was to turn yourself into a seething pile of goo, so he called upon the Famous Mockingbird to spread the word about this... ##With Trey on keys. ###Rolling Stones cover; song ended with Trey setting up a delay loop before he and Mike moved to the front of the stage and began a bizarre synchonized duel involving them swinging their guitar and bass at each other and around themselves while wandering across the front of the stage and putting strange hats on Page and Jon; at one point Trey and Mike put both the guitar and bass down on the stage and kicked/stomped the stage beside them to produce more feedback; in the end Trey finally "defeated" Mike before the band walked off stage.


13.)10-01-00 Desert Sky Pavilion, Phoenix, AZ




Soundcheck: Back at the Chicken Shack, Ginseng Sullivan, Twist (multiple times)

*Followed by Trey introducing the band, including Jon as "Bob Weaver", Mike as "Michael Jordan" and himself as the "Skinny Guinea" (pulls up his shirt to show how skinny he is); he then encouraged people to start clapping along while he clapped in an offbeat rhythm before slapping himself on the cheek and then the forehead and encouraging people to slap the face of the person next to them, but no one did. He then encouraged people to get naked and make passionate love, but again no one did. After the song he told that the passionate lovemaking portion of the show was over and that he apologized for not giving them more time. **Unfinished. ***First time played; pronounced "Gee-For-Jay" (a tennis player's name); Trey on keyboards; similar to recent versions of "Catapult"; included lyrics something to the effect of "I never met a man I could not forget except for Guy Forget"; soundchecked back as far as February 1993. ****Trey set up a feedback loop, took off his guitar and began swinging it around while manipulating the pitch using his foot pedals; as a result Page played the ascending riff at the end because Trey hadn't put his guitar back on in time.
