Keeping with the "Island Tour" theme of amazing openers, this last stop begins with "Oh Kee Pah Ceremony" and lunges into "You Enjoy Myself," which sends the crowd into a frenzy. A unique first set houses the rare "McGrupp" and a funktastic "Bathtub Gin" into "Cities," rounded out with a ripping "SOAMelt." The outrageous second set utilizes some unheard of segues and jams to make sense of an apparently unplanned setlist that somehow merges "Maze -> Shafty -> Possum -> Cavern" into a coherent journey.

Set 1:
Oh Kee Pa Ceremony >
You Enjoy Myself
Theme from the Bottom
McGrupp and the Watchful Hosemasters
Bathtub Gin >

E: Bold as Love#

Basically none of the songs in the second set were finished, all jammed out into some other song.
*First time played; shares most lyrics with "Oblivious Fool."
^With funked-out jam during which Trey said "This is for all those that came down wanting to dance" and "we're gonna funk it out".
^^Funky version; with Trey strutting around on stage during the heavy funk; includes older lyrics ("turned the blade back on the bitch, and dropped her in the dung").
#Apparently, they were under a lot of pressure to finish up the deadline/curfew, and even considered not playing an encore at all.
