(1992-09-11) Penis Song (892K) - dave solo - Throughout the set, he kept mentioning how a girl had a penis drawn on her hand (that's how the frat boys marked entry into the house). Dave turned it into a joke about his crewman Fenton (of "do it for Fenton" fame), claiming it was modeled after his penis. He then proceeded to go into this joke blues improv jam (historically labeled "The Penis Song") about the girl with the penis on her hand.

(1992-09-30) Come Together (tease) - Her Majesty - Unknown Song.mp3 (2.9M) - Dave speaks the lyrics; Dave was having people in the audience tell him their names while he changed his strings, and as he was saying their names back to them ("I got Paige... I got Muffy"), he went into the lyrics of Come Together. The "unknown song" is a cappella; This song doesn't seem to be improvised, as Dave says before it, "What other songs do I know that you could do that way [a cappella]?" but we cannot identify what the song actually is. It's most likely some lyrics that Dave wrote himself that never turned into a proper song.
