## Notes

It wasn't too surprising to see extra gear onstage this afternoon, after all, TXR had sent out updates mentioning that surprise guests would be appearing across the three-day run, but I didn't expect to get three of the five guests on the first night. Holy toledo! That's like drawing a full house on a pair of sevens!

Solid playing all night tonight. Lots of variation in the lead singing role. The only jamming segue was the totally unexpected change from _China Cat_ into _Mr. Charlie_ -- I wonder who deserves credit for thinking that one up? _GDTRFB_ was joyous, but rocky: my recollection is that only Stu & Graham look a lead verse, and that the rest of the time it was instrumental solos or another run through the chorus. That might have been a nod back to the classic Skull & Roses version, but I rather like hearing it a different verse from each singer -- preferably offering some freestyle doggerel before the "Don't wanna be treated this a way" line that ends each verse.
