This one features a bunch of fish, a dance craze, and throwing a party for your dad. Thank you Chicago, you're OUR KIND OF TOWN!

Note: Unfortunately the drums were not clearly recored to do technical difficulties. Also as you may have guessed by our release order, the live shows in Boston and Detroit were both entirely lost to technical glitches as well (so if you took a secret high quality recoding of either of those shows, let us know.) Apologies, but we had a wonderful time in both those cities, and we hope those who saw them live enjoyed our tales of a bunch of animals in a hot air balloon and Richard Nixon's ghost.
