Notes
*Talking Heads cover
**Gary Neuman cover
This show was part of the 2005 Winter Tour.
The 3rd set is a classic. The crowd heard Axel F and began to dance and drink excessively. The band was going to end the night, but the crowd bought them 2 shots each of Jagermeister at the end of the set - so a 3rd set was ON! While the band started playing, the drunken crowd decided it was a GREAT IDEA to use the chairs (with wheels on them) to move around the dance floor, thus converging into a sort-of game of chair derby, which developed into human bowling...By the time Aragorn the guitar player started playing "Flight of the Bumblebee" the crowd was completely going insane with "human bowling". people were crashing into each other with the chairs from opposite sides of the room, knocking people all over the place as well as their opponents off the chairs! ...Unfortunately the laptop stopped recording at this point, so you only hear the soundboard portion of the matrix. But if you listen closely, you can get a feel for the absolutely insane vibe the band and crowd had. Its awesome!
Lots of sound stuff here...its a matrix, but only most of the time. the sound guy didn't know how to work his cd recorder, so there are some missing portions. The mic signal still continues though. the keyboard signal to the soundboard is clipped beyond repair. then by the 3rd set the laptop shuts off, leaving only the soundboard portion. with that being said, its still a good sounding representation of the show. enjoy. -J

Subject: another gem!
Subject: Classic Show, Great Jams
The performance however, is en fuego. I especially like the jam at the end of Demons in set 1. The second set kicks off with a now-rare Feel the Sun, and another fine take on Doomsayers (one of my favorite new songs).
I also think this is the first time that the Talking Heads cover "And She Was" has made it onto a tape. There's three new originals, and the office-chair roller derby in the audience speaks for itself.
Moscow knows how to have fun(k)...
