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.

The entire second set of this show was a drunken request
show, much like OM Trio's set at Cicero's the week before. The show was
under-attended (to put it mildly), so the band just had fun by playing any son
the audience asked for. The requests ranged from specific bands (Grateful
Dead! The Big Wu! Allman Brothers! Ben Folds! Yes!) to
specific songs (While My Guitar Gently Weeps! A Day In

Interesting Side Note: There was a weird cosmic coincidence that occurred with the new Flaming Lips cover. While we were aware that OKC is the Lips hometown, we were not aware that Lip leader Wayne Coyne lives just a few blocks from the venue. After being informed, we drove by and checked out his cool house after the show. He still has his Christmas lights up. Good times.

Side Note/Funny Tour Moment: During "What's the Buzz", some hippie kid (completely out of his mind on acid or some other mind altering substance) was trying to have sex with one of the PA speakers. He was thrusting himself all over the speaker and nearly pulled it on top of himself, which would have been bad, but quite funny. He later ate Britt's sandwich without asking, and told the band that we have "a lovely scrotum". Hours later, and a couple miles away, we saw him having a shouting match and tossing an invisible football to an imaginary friend. Good times.

All songs were performed instrumentally, because there were no mics.
This was a unique spur of the moment thing that happened after the Spo's gig was called off at the Last Concert Café in Houston. Heavy rain had ruined any hopes of playing at the LCC, so the band decided to invite Plump (the other band on the bill that night) back to our friend Julie's house in Seabrook, about an hour away. We ran into some fans outside the club and invited them to come to the house for an all night jam party. After about an hour long jam between members of Plump and Olospo, and a brief set by The Unseasoned Jazz Special, Spo played an adlibbed 70 minute set. The setlist included instrumental versions of songs that normally have vocals, and also the redemption of songs that had been butchered the night before.

Some guy jumped onstage and played a horrible harmonica "solo" during Zigaboo. His harp wasn't even in the right key, and it was forced to end early. No one knows who that guy was…

This was the first time Olospo played live. The band had been together for about seven weeks at this point. It was at this show that the band introduced the "Name the Band" contest, which ended up being more than just a joke. Somehow, a rather large number of the people who were there (who were mostly friends and fans of Walter Mitty) wrote down "Olo Spo". After some heated debate, this ended up being the band's name. Several months later, it became clarified as a single word "Olospo". So, there you have it.
