fhqwhgads This is an above-average show, in my opinion, even for 1.0. In the context of 1997, particularly that Fall, maybe its shine pales a bit. But you get an all-time classic jam in Ghost. You Enjoy Myself has a fun deviation (though I don't really get the Rocky Mountain Way thing, especially since Trey doesn't bust out a Talk Box.) In the first set, Julius is highly noteworthy. The Type-I'ers to follow are all really pleasant. It's funny to hear a Water in the Sky wherein the crowd doesn't erupt with glee at the "Filter out the Everglades" lyrics, as it has since Big Cypress. Limb by Limb was good, but I don't remember much about it. However,
"Limb by Limb, Split Open and Melt, Billy Breathes, Possum" is quite the stack of tunes to close a first set. The catalogue was still pretty pure at this point--perhaps with the exception of "Dogs Stole Valuable Playing Time in the Setlist." I wish I'd been there.
