** Most of Harpua had Les Claypool & Larry LaLonde from Primus
guesting. After the opening, Les did a rap about some weed or something
like that, could be a Primus song. Then more Harpua, the Jimmy story
(Jimmy & Posternutbag going to Vegas). They stop & camp. At camp, they
start yodelling, at which point John McEuen & Heather and Anamiekl August
(from Phoenix, AZ, who are friends of Trey) did a country/yodel tune. The
story continues, Jimmy & Poster meet up with four Elvis' on the edge of
Vegas and have a duel. The four elvis's sing the first few verses of
Suspicious Minds, then Fishman continues. Fishman/Jimmy is victorious! :-)
Then the dog/cat fight, Harpua wins &
the song finishes as normal as it can get. At some point everyone returns
and the drummer for Primus (Brian Mantia) shows up for Suzie at least.
During Suzie there were 14 people on stage generally having a ball. There
was a "Suzie Q" jam lead by one of the Elvis' at the end of Suzie.
