Encore: American Band
Show Notes: Wilson included a heavy metal jam, complete with Trey waving his guitar in the air. Kid Rock provided guest vocals frrom Walk This Way through the encore. Walk This Way and Rapper's Delight (with funny stage antics from Fishman, who danced on his knees like Kid's sidekick Joe C.) were debuts. You Shook Me (All Night Long) was played, in its entirety, for the first time, although it had been jammed on other occasions. Walk This Way was also teased during Zarathustra. Spock's Brain (first since June 24, 1995, or 387 shows), Dinner and a Movie (first since March 1, 1997, or 238 shows), and American Band (first since November 16, 1996, or 267 shows) returned after long absences. The Carini opener was preceded by a Wilson tease and saw Trey have several problems with his guitar. Meatstick included Japanese lyrics and Mike and Trey doing the Meatstick dance.

Thomas & Mack Center, Las Vegas, NV
Set I: Walfredo, The Curtain With, Maze, Roggae, I Didn't Know, Mike's Song > Simple > Saw it Again, Esther > Weekapaug Groove
Set II: Timber (Jerry), AC/DC Bag, Colonel Forbin's Ascent > The Famous Mockingbird, Twist > Sand > A Day in the Life
Encore: Emotional Rescue
Show Notes: Though the band came out in position for Walfredo, they were forced to pause due to technical difficulties. For the second show in a row, several breakouts dotted the setlist: Walfredo (first since February 22, 1997, or 244 shows), Esther (August 9, 1998, 142 shows), Forbin's and Mockingbird (August 7, 1998, 144 shows), A Day in the Life (July 3, 1998, 166 shows), and Emotional Rescue (July 28, 1998, 151 shows). The Forbin's narration referenced the band's upcoming hiatus. I Didn't Know included a reference to Kid Rock's sidekick Joe C. Esther featured flubbed lyrics for the final verse, ending with Trey proclaiming "She died. Dead." As the band returned for the second set, the crowd serenaded Trey with Happy Birthday. Emotional Rescue included a bizarre synchronized duel on-stage between Trey and Mike.

Show Notes: Trey introduced the band during Llama (including Fishman as "Bob Weaver") before encouraging the audience to clap along with him. He slapped himself on the forehead and encouraged fans to slap the foreheads of the person next to them, but no one did. Piper was unfinished and morphed into the debut of Guy Forget. Paged handled the closing lick at the end of Bowie while Trey played with his pedals.
