Regression Fanfare (outro tape)

Vocals: James LaBrie
Guitar: John Petrucci
Keyboards: Jordan Rudess
Bass: John Myung
Drums: Mike Portnoy

Notes: According to Mike, the band was working out the kinks on the first two shows and that this show was to be the first "real" show. As they were wrapping up Peruvian Skies, all of the sudden, John P spontaneously broke out playing Paradigm Shift, which was not planned in the setlist. As Jordan scrambled for the correct sound samples, Mike and John M joined in. During the song, I saw Mike ask John "how far do we go"? They ended up doing roughly the first 1/3 of the track (more than normal).

Other Act(s): Dixie Dregs opened

10. One Last time
11. The Spirit Carries On

Vocals: James LaBrie
Guitar: John Petrucci
Keyboards: Jordan Rudess
Bass: John Myung
Drums: Mike Portnoy

Notes: This is the infamous show that was shut down due to over crowding on the first floor. When The Spirit Carries On began, James did not come out on stage on cue and so Mike filled in. After about 30 seconds, Mike informed the audience that they were getting shut down to which the audience roared in response. Mike said they would continue until they were pulled off stage. As they did, Mike encouraged the audience to sing since he couldn't remember the words (which they did). 3 mins into the song, they cut the power to the PA, but the band played on. Finally, just as they were nearing the conclusion of the song, they cut the power to the actual amps, thus ending the show. Of course, no one left and finally the riot police were brought in to move everyone out. BTW, the setlist for that night was to be :M2 (complete) and the WI&WU medley.

Notes: Because of the fiasco the previous night, Mike told the venue they would not play unless they could play a full 2 hours. This was agreed upon and so Peruvian Skies and Voices were both added to the set (neither was going to be played originally). Rumor had it that they were thinking of doing Lines in the Sand - dunno if that was true or not, but it never materialized on that night.
