Also notable (ok, not notable, how about completely trivial) is that other
than a couple of radio appearances, this was the only show where they used
the original (and I think better) final verse of "Happy With Myself":

Gordon not only opened, but got to play two more of his songs with the
band in the middle of their set. My most vivid memory of that night was of
the group directly to my right trying not laugh when Gordon sang. WNKU cut
those songs (along with six OtR songs and a Christmas carol) when they
aired it which is a shame, because I thought the Karin/Gordon duet turned
out really well.
