Show Notes
This was a three-hour marathon show and the first marathon show to be performed as a single set. The show opened with a video of Amby's father, <a href="https://kglw.net/blog/broderick-smith-a-celebration.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Broderick Smith</a>, introducing the band. Eyes Like the Sky through Evil Man was dedicated to Broderick Smith and featured Broderick’s narration from the <a href="https://kglw.net/discography/eyes-like-the-sky" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Eyes Like the Sky album</a> played over the PA while the band played, and photos of Broderick displayed on the large screen behind the band. Eyes Like the Sky, Year Of Our Lord, and The Raid were played for the first time since <a href="https://kglw.net/setlists/king-gizzard-and-the-lizard-wizard-december-1-2018-royal-melbourne-showgrounds-naarm-melbourne-australia.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">December 1, 2018</a> (192 show gap). Evil Man was played for the first time since <a href="https://kglw.net/setlists/king-gizzard-and-the-lizard-wizard-february-18-2016-electric-ballroom-london-england.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">February 18, 2016</a> (449 show gap). Prior to Gaia, Joey quoted “<a href="https://youtu.be/KcADqxnQA_4" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">I Love L.A.</a>” (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Newman" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Randy Newman</a>). The Grim Reaper contained Torture Chamber quotes and “<a href="https://youtu.be/qORYO0atB6g" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Intergalactic</a>” (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beastie_Boys" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Beastie Boys</a>) quotes. During the drum solo by Cavs following Astroturf the rest of the band left the stage, then returned and performed a metal vamp over the end of the solo. Shanghai featured the Grow Wings and Fly “let’s get real high” jam. Ambergris featured an extended intro during which Joey and Amby contemplated the nature of sexiness. The Dripping Tap was dedicated by Amby to Cavs’ dad and to his “first music teacher who said my voice sounds weird,” and contained Cellophane teases and Hot Water teases.
