The final show of the Latin American tour. The band opens with an almost-album-length Sleeper for the first time ever. Shaun runs it on talkbox. Whitecap starts with a bass intro. Justin re-harmonizes the breakdown. Maz takes one on flugel as half of the band lays out. Grown Folks is slow and funky. Bullock milks a tenor solo. Bob takes the outro on guitar. Shaun invokes Bernard Wright on a beautifully phrased solo during Gemini. Special guest Federico Nathan joins the band for 34 Klezma’s only tour appearance. He and Bill set it up beautifully and Federico takes the solo on violin. Bob solos on Palermo. Bill and JT go into a new space on What About Me? with a mellotron strings/Rhodes combo. Justin jumps in on keybass. On cue, the band stumbles on a nice groove for the vamp. After band introductions, JT rips apart the outro vamp. For the encore, Justin takes a trumpet solo on Shofukan after being quiet all night. For the second encore, Binky gets solos from Bullock and Maz before spiralling into a very, very long unplanned medley dictated by Shaun (who else?). The band circles back around and closes things out. Two hours of music to wrap up a two week trip.
