about a half-dozen Franz Ferdinand references, including "40 Feet"
during "Aseedafinque", "Zigaboo", and "Booty Raider". Other Franz teases
included "Take Me Out" during "Knocking", and "Tell Her Tonight" (with vocal)
during "Blackhearted". Other teases included "Caring Is Creepy" by The Shins

E: Bathtub Gin tease > Spindletop, Fearless**
# - The show started with the opening sound collage to "Dark Side of The Moon", played over the house speakers, and the Spo started playing right when "Speak to Me" becomes "Breathe". Interestingly enough, it was mentioned that the theme was broken from the get-go, because "Speak to Me" was actually the first song. In response to that (if anyone actually cares), it can be noted that the show was bookended by Floyd songs, neither of which followed the theme. So there! Also interesting: there are several "B" and "S" songs within the Spo repertoire that didn't get played, due to time constraints.
^ - This was only the second time that "Syntax"
has been played without leading into "Grace". The other time was on

# - Right at the start of the second set, this song was playing over the PA, so the band just started playing along, and as it faded out, the Spo played the whole song.
^ - This was an epic "Franks", unlike any previous one to date. It was the longest and most experimental "Franks" ever, focusing on a variety of different movements. The second set of this show was the strongest of the tour, and the band felt like the jams on "Film", "Franks", "Requiem", and "Gooch" were among the best in Spo history.

* - The "Cops" theme song, first (and probably last) time played - because the cops came. Apparently there were lots of problems in Leadville that week with people complaining about the noise coming from Tracks. There was even a front page news article describing the ongoing feud between the club owner and local whiners, but it was because of loud people hanging around outside the club, not loud music. Sure enough, halfway through the first set, the cops crashed the party, and someone yelled out "play the one about the cops!" And naturally, the Spo pulled off a note-perfect rendition.
** - This was a strange comedic moment in Spo history. During the first break of Aseedafinque, Britt activated a preset on his new toy - a muzak version of "La Vida Loca". And the guys actually danced along to it for about 10 seconds before returning to Aseedafinque.
