Noteworthy jams:
At several shows, the band would loosely jam on a variety of covers during the encore - but I mean VERY loosely in most cases,
rarely with everyone joining in at once, and usually just Thurston shouting a few lines of a song...
"Mom, I Gave The Cat Some Acid" - 09/14/87 Richmond - Happy Flowers song loosely interpreted twice during their encore
- 10/24/87 Naugatuck - briefly revisited during a series of quick jams
"Ticket To Ride" - 09/16/87 Atlanta - Beatles "cover" similar to "Master-Dik" EP version - Thurston-vocal/Steve-beat
- 10/06/87 Bozeman - part of a series of very brief jams (aka Thurston singing one line from the song)
- 10/15/87 Pontiac - Thurston revisits a classic
"Kerosene" - 10/06/87 Bozeman - Big Black song very briefly loosely jammed during encore
"Orphans" - 10/06/87 Bozeman - Teenage Jesus & the Jerks song very briefly loosely jammed during encore
"All This And More" - 10/06/87 Bozeman - Dead Boys song very briefly loosely jammed during encore
