Notes: 
Tramps, Soul Asylum's New York "home" the previous few years, closes its doors not long after this show. The O'Jeez set was a surprise, another band scheduled to open was given the boot in favor of The O'Jeez. Dave sings with Michal during her set on "The Light," and she joins Soul Asylum on Somebody to Shove, singing the second verse herself. Dave is reminded before the show that they played Silly Love Songs and Ramblin' Rose at Tramps the year before. Soul Asylum offer the crowd the option of Alice Cooper or John Lennon; School's Out is played. "Thus Spake Zarathustra" is played on the PA before Soul Asylum enter the stage during this run of shows.
Opening Act:
Michal, The O’Jeez.  
Known Recordings: 
Audience recording exists.

Encore: 
Rhinestone Cowboy, ("Can't go surfing in the city of lakes..."), Stranger.

Notes: 
Michal and The O'Jeez switch places from the previous night, as The O'Jeez open this one. They play similar sets from the night before, except the O'Jeez play all of Thank You. Michal again is joined by Dave for "The Light," and then she surprises him by announcing he will play drums. She also does the Mexican Hat Song, and throws kaleidoscope-like trinkets into the audience. She has two guys join her on stage, and they make no effort to dance or do anything until prompted by Michal's friends. The unusual opening sets were a preview of what would come later in the evening..
    Soul Asylum's set starts off similar enough to the previous night also, but with To My Own Devices thrown in. Gone 'Til November is not on the setlist but is played because the band did not want to play Misery after NY Blackout. Dave introduces Blood into Wine as being written by "an aspiring song writer." String of Pearls is by request for the guy who said "please," and Passing Sad Daydream appears to be by request also. How Do You Sleep is finally played. the encore features Dan singing  a surfer song (of origin unknown to us), and Stranger (how long was it since this song was played last?) Dave appears to be coaching Chris on keyboards during the encore. Michal and a fellow known as "The Pope" join Soul Asylum on guitars for the encore. Considered by some in attendance to be one of Soul Asylum's best shows ever.
Opening Act:
The O’Jeez, Michal.
Known Recordings: 
Audience recording exists.
