Rise Up - Wake And Bake
Long, funky intro. before 'Funky Mountain Fogdown' that featured Vince on washboard, Tye fretting through his sleeve with his hat over his eyes, Drew on mandolin and guitar, and mucho stage silliness
All but the last verse of 'Rocky Top' sung to the tune of 'Smoke On The Water'
During 'Carpet Joint Jam', a member of the audience becomes the world's largest joint by rolling from the soundboard to the stage in a carpet that had been drapped over Mark and Vince during 'Green Thing' and 'Whiskey Before Breakfast', then the line that was created by the rolling joint is used to form sides for some do-si-do's by the crowd, all at Vince's direction
Before the encore, Vince tosses out a large, green tarp that he instructs the audience to roll into, once again creating the world's largest joint. Eventually a large portion of the crowd dances fanatically under the tarp during 'Better'
