AMT #2

In the circulating amateur video, someone in the front row of the audience can be seen using what may be a video recorder (possibly Super 8).

  • During soundcheck, Krist jammed on The B-52's "Planet Claire," which sounds very similar to Henry Mancini's "Peter Gunn Theme." During the jam, both Mancini and "Planet Claire" were mentioned, but it appears that Krist was intending to play "Planet Claire" due to the show being recorded for a radio show called Planet Claire on Aligre FM and his own clarification after someone whistled the melody to the "Peter Gunn Theme."
  • The band started the show with a more structured jam than the usual opening noise.
  • Before "Polly", Krist and Chad jammed briefly on Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode" and George Thorogood and the Destroyers' "Bad To The Bone."
