#Very little Jimmy/Posternutbag comment; instead, Trey's life-changing
experience in the 4th grade (1974, 10 years old): sitting, eating french
toast and watching "Lost in Space" (a Saturday morning ritual) Trey
realized that Will Robinson and the robot were in the same field as the
one behind his school and were sending him telepathic messages, which led
to him to collect food and bring it to that field, where he found a
pentagram, placed the food and saw his own future, including the band and
a figure in white singing (Tom Marshall) though he knew neither.
@Proclaimer's cover (from the "Benny and Joon" soundtrack); Tom Marshall
on vocals.
%With lights down and a glow stick war, and also unfinished.
$Before "Guyute," Trey explains that they don't know if they have enough
time for one more song, but that there's one more he wants to play...he
said they would not encore. After Guyute, the lights did not go on. Page,
Mike, and Fish returned to the stage. Finally, Trey came on and the encore
started.
&Trey has "Toph" (Chris Kuroda) bring the lights down and re-starts the
glow stick war during a delay jam which featured he and Fish in some sort
of dance ritual at the front of the stage, Fish on vacuum, and then
finally just Mike's bass and Trey's guitar loop before finishing
Frankenstein.
