| My guess is that the second half of the PGC set and all of set four was a more or less spontaneous, unrehearsed jam session, as this portion of the night evinced a distinctly looser feel than the earlier part of the show. By the time set four got going, the crowd had thinned noticeably, but that didn't stop the musical guests from amping things up (a showman's always gotta top his predecessor, right?), and this was particularly evident first with _Cross Cut Saw_, then _Little Red Rooster_ and then _Tush_. Walter Hand definitely made a splash both singing and blowing his harp, but "young" Joli Valenti wasn't gonna take any of that, and did his best to whip up a frenzy in everybody both onstage and off. Mission accomplished, I'd say! | My guess is that the second half of the PGC set and all of set four was a more or less spontaneous, unrehearsed jam session, as this portion of the night evinced a distinctly looser feel than the earlier part of the show.

| By this time, Michael Borbridge seemed desperate to wrap things up -- maybe the house set a Monday Night curfew at midnight? -- but Freddy Roulette was having none of that, and insisted on playing a second rendition of _Sleepwalk_. Heck, it seemed to me that Freddy was ready to play all night. I know I was ready to keep on dancing! | By this time, Michael Borbridge seemed desperate to wrap things up -- maybe the house set a Monday Night curfew at midnight? -- but Freddie Roulette was having none of that, and insisted on playing a second rendition of _Sleepwalk_.

| Anyways, I'd be remiss if I wrote this without mentioning the sad reason for this festive affair: in November, Freddy's house caught fire, and he lost many of his possessions. If you're inclined to make a small contribution to his well-being, I'm certain that it would be appreciated, but I'm sorry to say I can't point you to any obvious URL -- I looked hard, and found nothin'. I guess the simple thing is to tell you to go some of his CD's! | Anyways, I'd be remiss if I wrote this without mentioning the sad reason for this festive affair: in November, Freddie 's house caught fire, and he lost many of his possessions.
