This show included the first known version of PYITE. McGrupp featured Fish on trumpet. Lizards contained a theme from <em>I Dream of Jeannie</em> tease from Page. Halley’s featured Richard Wright on vocals. Richard announced that it was the last time he’d ever sing it. Rocky Top was played for the Drebbers, who had just gotten married (see August 12, 1989).
