Kickoff to an epic show. Pig's organ, Billy's drumming, Kieth are all high points, not to mention the usual fine work from "the other ones"

Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Truly fun. I tried explaining the irony of the Stayin' Alive tease to my Russian roommate, to no avail. The teases throughout really are spectacularly fun. No better word. This show is pretty unbelievable, by the way. A romp, indeed.

Nassau Coliseum
