Great American Music Hall, San Francisco, CA
March 19, 1996

Lineage: Audience -> DAT -> FLAC -> Dime.

I would rate it as a B or B+ quality audience tape; there's no trouble with audience noise, but the sound is a little muddier than I would really like. Also note that there's some DAT "buzzsaw" diginoise in the first couple of minutes; DATs were great, but I sure don't miss them now.

The setlist is pretty standard for this tour:

CD 1
First set:
1 Intro (4:10)
2 You Can't Kill Me (7:21)
3 Radio Gnome Invisible (8:40)
4 I Am Your Pussh (5:54)
5 Pothead Pixies (2:45)
6 Never Glid Before (6:20)
7 Prostitute Poem (6:53)
8 Eat That Phonebook (7:32)

Second set:
9 Flute Salad (3:08)
10 Bloomdido Rap (2:44)
11 Oily Way (3:34)
12 Outer Temple (2:59)
13 Inner Temple (3:22)

CD 2
14 Master Builder (11:58)
15 Mercury (10:06)
16 Isle Of Everywhere (11:37)
17 You Never Blow Your Trip Forever (9:06)
18 Mantram Chant Of You (5:13)
19 Band introductions (6:16)
20 audience screaming (1:24)

All told it was a great show; they seemed to be having a lot of fun.

The 1996 lineup was Daevid Allen, Mike Howlett, Didier Malherbe, Pip Pyle, Steffi Sharpstrings, and Gilli Smyth.

Original DIME seed by corbet on August 31, 2008.
