SET LIST NOTES
details unknown...
  • Lee joined Dinosaur on vocals for Neil Young's "Cortez the Killer".
  • Mike Huber writes: I was in the opening band, Pokalon for the show at Polish Cadets Hall. I was the singer and the bass player was Sean, aka Grasshopper. A few months later we joined with Jonathan Donahue, Suzanne Thorpe and Dave Baker to form Shady Crady aka Mercury Rev. The most memorable part of the show was that a polka dance was happening upstairs simultaneously so the two audiences entered together. The elderly couples, the woman always in a fancy polka dress were directed upstairs, the kids, mostly wearing black were sent downstairs. It was Pokalon's last show. We weren't too happy with our performance, but a year later Thurston asked why Pokalon wasn't opening for Sonic Youth.
