As with modern Coup shows, the set comprised of material almost entirely off their last three albums. Because Riley was backed by such a crack band, the live versions of the songs rarely mirrored their studio counterparts and instead featured thick, energetic grooves that pulled from equal parts late Funkadelic and early Prince electro-funk.
To keep the energy high, the band rarely broke between their songs and kept kicking out jam after jam. Midway through the concert, Riley apologized to the crowd, “Unfortunately, we had to take a sponsor, so I have to say something about them…,” at which point the band broke into their tune dedicated to black revolutionaries, “Ass-Breath Killers”. That song merged into an instrumental interlude of Funkadelic’s “Cosmic Slop”, which warped into the Coup’s own version of the Cosmic Slop saga, the heart-wrenching tale of motherhood prostitution, “Me & Jesus the Pimp in a ‘79 Granada Last Night”.
