Dave said the following during the 3.19.03 show:

We were playing in Texas once, I don't think you were with us, Tim, but there were a lot of crickets. There were so many crickets that they were like this deep in, underneath the drum kit, underneath the drum riser and in the kick drum there, like this deep. All crawling, It was kind of creepy, it was kind of creepy. But then they were like walking up my shirt and they were attacking the drums the most, so there was mutiny at that point 'cause, admittedly, I probably would have done the same thing, but there were just too many damn bugs for Carter to continue, so that had to end it for a moment. But all I remember from it though I had a few in my shirts, in my shirt walking up you know trying to get through my arm pit and but I was ignoring it, because ya know I'm from Africa and I can take that kind of stuff. Y'all are like "eww it's a bug!" It's a bug.. exactly! It's a frickin' bug man, what the hell's it going to do to you? It's a frickin' bug. Anyway this one the most interesting cricket was one that just walked up the microphone and then stood right in front of me right here and just stared at me for the song. I didn't know, you know, it was kind of unnerving, you know like when someone has an elastic band, like pointed at you. Even if you know that they're not going to let it go. It still makes you like...but I had to sing and the cricket was right there, he was going "I could jump right in your face, fuck up the whole gig but I'm not, but I'm just gonna, it's more fun."
