During the opening noise of "Radio Friendly Unit Shifter," Kurt jammed on the guitar riff of Deep Purple's "Smoke On The Water".
Kurt stopped "Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam" to yell at a guy groping someone in the audience. The band then picked up the song where they left off. A few bars after resuming the song, Kurt stopped playing guitar and finished singing the song with the guitar lying on his lap.
During some of the end of show jamming, Dave played guitar.
