Notes:
The last night of what felt like a long run at this point. Everynight at the Garden was chaotic in the crowd but it boiled over this night. Each of the Garden shows began with everyone on the main floor standing up, not on the floor but on the chairs which is just insane when you think about it...If you've been listening to this whole series you will have heard yelling each night to sit down. By the last night this reaches it's peak, which led to a fight right in front of the stage during 'My Wife'. Pete noticed it first and stoped playing followed by the rest of the band. Roger came into the crowd to break it up, and later asked some girl down in the front row to get off her chair so the people behind her could see. It didn't really let up though. The show itself started out great, but Pete seemed to tire and was less energetic as the show went on. This was the shortest show of the run but did feature a great 'I Am An Animal'. After the Real Me in the encore, Pete presented Roger with a guitar and amp in honor of his guitar work the previous evening. This series of shows is dedicated to Marc, Dr. Billy, David, Scott, Alison, Pam, Gary, Sharon, Mark, Saul, Melissa, Dennis, Marsha and all the kids at the Narvarro, some of whom I know I'm leaving out.
