Sunrise, Fl.
8-18-2000
Lineup:

Martin Ditchum: drums
Excellent audience
This is what the taper had to say about the show:
Mick calls this "The Jetlag Show" as he had JUST returned to the USA, from England, via Chicago - that's a hell of a flight! Though he says that he's tired, Mick was in great spirits and delivered another great show. He was also as funny as hell. Second guitarist Robert Awai played bass because the regular guy wasn't with them. Not only did he play well, but there wasn't any "obligatory" bass solos which I can do without. Drummer Martin Ditchum forced premature endings on "Losing My Faith" and "Blind Willie McTell", which really pissed off Mick - he came in way too soon to end the songs. It was plenty obvious to me at the time, but I don't think the audience noticed it at all. On playback it's still obvious. So... when it happened at the end of "Blind Willie McTell", Mick finished before the band and made a move to throw his guitar. He grabbed it by the neck, faced away from the crowd, and threw it while it was still strapped to himself. The strap held, so it kind of jerked him. Then he unstrapped it and threw it spear-style, heavy end first, to the back of the stage (to our left). It flew latterally about 12 feet, and then down about 6 feet, and landed below stage level - this was a serious throw!
The band finished up the ending and Mick thanked the stunned crowd.
