9/30/00 - Red Rooster - Aberdeen, S.D.

September 30, 2000
Red Rooster Coffee House

Set:

| Piper | Cake | The Cacophany Trilogy | Downtown Liquor Store | Found My Boogie | Cupid | Breakout [Foo Fighters](tease) / To the Next Episode | Jumptart My Rocket (tease) / Voodoo Child [Jimi Hendrix](tease) | I'm a Bad MammaJamma (Who Works at Wendy's) | Modern Day Fairy Tales | Copenhagen | Bumblebee |




For the second portion of the Big Gypsy Day Party, we all moved inside the coffee house and had indoor music. Starting off with The Deceased, we moved on to a couple songs by Plaid Moon, followed by December Stars, who then gave the stage to Junebug to finish the night.

Junebug took the stage at about 11:45pm expecting to play about thirty minutes. It ended up being a bit longer than that, which is a good thing. The crowd were very much into it. It seems like they enjoyed this one more than the outdoor set a couple hours previous.

The normal Junebug show was there, starting with Piper, going nuts with the Cacophany Trilogy and laughing our way through Downtown Liquor Store. But then something amazing happened. At the beginning of Found My Boogie, Anthony said, "Get up," and everybody lept to their feet in an instant. Many times, it's taken a few tries and people tend to be a little inhibited. Not tonight. There were no butts in the seats. Everyone found their boogie and they wanted more. We skewed from the setlist to add Cupid, Bad MammaJamma, and Modern Day Fairy Tales so as to let our wonderful crowd feel the waves of the Junebug flow.

We brought the mood down a little bit with Copenhagen, but the energy never left. This crowd was fantastic!

Thank you to Amy Heidenreich for videotaping us, thanks to Aaron Clarksean for letting Tony use his kickdrum pedal, thanks to Kate and Carissa for driving a hundred miles to see us, and thanks to EVERYONE who cheered and danced and made us feel like rock stars.
It was a great night.
