16 Days

May 21, 2003. The 2nd show of 3. The first 3 songs performed had not been performed the night before, so it was definitely off to a running start. Then Affair of the Heart, a necessary staple to the set list, and then 3 more songs that were not performed the night before. Then idontwantanythingfromyou - still unreleased and a crowd favorite. And just like the night before, he does a double shot from the upcoming cd by performing Alien Virus. Before the night is done, we hear a couple of more songs that we hadn't heard the night before, a few more of the staples are performed, some in totally different places in the set list than "usual", and you really get a feeling of having seen two completely different shows. All in all, 10 songs were performed the 2nd night, that were not on the first night's set list. It was really great.
This is the night that Rick was (playfully) handcuffed by security. He gave one of the female security guards a hard time during DTTS, so she in turn hand cuffed him while he was in the audience, and he performed about two songs before he was unlocked, and performed a few more with the cuffs dangling off one of his arms. Rick was a good sport and it was very funny.
This show also was the debut of the Homer Doll (who wore an SDAA t-shirt before they were available on the merch site).
