postshow P.A. music was Ozzy Osbourne "Mama, I'm Coming Home"
I watched the Blackhawks defeat the LA Kings during the day while I recovered from the previous evening's journey to Madison. I stopped in B-N at Steak 'n Shake. After finding a parking spot in the university garage there was a huge line to go inside which wrapped around the block. I barely made it inside the venue before showtime.
The Bob Marley cover to open was a rare choice. AIT to sandwich the remainder of the set worked well. Day Nurse was played in a similiar position at the last Canopy Club show. August was the highlight of the first set. Ringo was a heavier version. None of the jams at this show really stretched out that much. It was the last show of the tour and the venue was unbearably hot. I requested Hey 19 via Joel on Twitter. That was my first time hearing that Steely Dan cover in 147 shows.
Sociable Jimmy and 13 Days were an old school pairing to start the second set. 46 & 2 was incredibly heavy. Hangover > Fuzz > Hangover was a bit of a lull for me. Night Nurse was a great version and was my favorite moment of the second set. Mulche's was a impressive rendition. Kimble appeared that it might end the set before they finally settled upon Wappy which kept the dancing going. By this point I was exhausted. They did a Spinal Tap fakeout before an interesting 1348 to close things out. This show was more of a had to be there type performance. It may not necessarily have all that much replay value but it was fun in the moment.
