{{Karlify|Sweet Jumpin Christmas, as Luke Cage, Power Man used to say back in the day! I'd say we're on to something here. I dont think its really possible for me to describe just how fun and epic tonights show was. Suffice it to say it was an VERY intense experience. The hits set was mostly different from the [[Blue]] night and included b-sides which are rarely if ever played, as well as "[[Only In Dreams]]". Watching that one get played two nights in a row brought me right back to the setlists of [[1994]], when we toured in "The Enforcer" AKA "[[Betsy]]", our great yet problematic van.

Tonight I had the honor and privilege of accompanying [[Rivers]] on "[[Butterfly]]", playing the simple drum beat. Back when the song was recorded for Pinkerton, it was so late at night that only me and Rivers were still at the studio, so he asked me to run through it with him on the drum, using just a bass drum turned on its side and draped with a towel. As you can hear on the Pinkerton Deluxe Edition, he also cut the song with no drums, so it was a real honor for me that the drums version was picked for the original album. Then when we went out to [[Pinkerton Tour|tour Pinkerton]] in '96-'97, Rivers asked me to come out and do the drum part when he played Butterfly, and that had not happened again till now. So thank you Rivers for letting me do it again. (Catch some nice video of this performance over on [http://www.whatosaw.com whatosaw.com]).
