Very rare audience recording. Includes the announcer introduction and different audience applause than on the officially released SBD recording.

A video recording is known to exist; if you have it, please either share it, or be willing to trade for it!

1. Drip Drop

Exclusive gig; debut performance of “Drip Drop.” The song often circulates under the title “The Universe is a Haunted House,” but to avoid confusion with the song from the 2000-06-17 Sonar Festival gig, the fact that the song uses raindrop sound effects, and the fact that the backing projection of the song represents water drops falling and rippling, the song will be called “Drip Drop” in this listing. This version is significantly longer than all other versions; said shorter versions would replace “Lake View” in the tour's typical set.

Simon Norris (Ossian Brown)

Pierce

Massimo

John and Peter were apparently very distant during the gig. They broke their romantic relationship up a few days later. John's behavior was more trance-like and intense than normal; at one point, he tore apart a stuffed animal rabbit (perhaps a premonition of his lyrics to “Unhappy Rabbits”).
