Trey teased Yours Is No Disgrace prior to NICU. Wolfman’s included a Fire (Ohio Players) tease from Trey and a Take Me to the River jam. The Bowie intro featured Fish on vaccum and included a Simpsons signal; Matt Groening, creator of <em>The Simpsons</em>, was reportedly in attendance. Bowie also contained a When Johnny Comes Marching Home tease from Mike. This show was released as part of the <em>Ventura</em> box set.
