notes: If a show could have been any better than the previous night, this
was it. Ed surprises the audience by joining the Frogs' set for 'I Only Play for
Money.' Dressed in a Beatles-type wig, sunglasses and shiny silver jacket, he is
not recognizable until he begins to sing. In return, Jimmy of the Frogs
accompanies Ed in the acoustic encore 'Star Boy.' A surprising opening song, 'Act
of Love,' is extremely hard and driven. For the encore, Chad Smith (RHCP's
drummer) joins PJ and a fascinating version of 'Little Wing' evolves into 'Maggot
Brain' with Mike's guitarwork leaving the crowd (and the rest of the band
apparently) awestruck. It was later reported that Mike was hospitalized after
the two Milwaukee shows due to dehydration and exhaustion.
