This date was originally scheduled as a party for RCA/BMG area reps from around the country, who were in Seattle for a meeting. They rented the Backstage (one of Seattle's top clubs) and bused in all the record company execs (including the president of RCA). The second idea was to schedule an early show for the execs, and a late show for the public, but it was finally decided that they would open the doors to the general public at midnight. DMB started very late—at about 11:50—so the general public only missed about 10 minutes. The record company buses left partway through the DMB set, leaving about 130 people who had come to the club because of word-of-mouth.

Boyd got his violin smashed going through a 2-way swinging kitchen door to get to his dressing room before the encore.
