The Professors' performance at the Busch Capus Center of Rutgers
University is unique in that it consisted of three distinctive sets being
played within one hour.
The first set featured T-ski on
lead guitar and consisted of Five Long Years,
Mary Had a Little Lamb, Dark
and Stormy Day, and a rap version of Crap
featuring Tomasz's son, Marcin Imielinski, and two of his friends.
T-ski
left the stage following "Crap" and the remaining band members played a
short set consisting of Crippled Inside,
Foucault Funk, and You
Oughta Know. "Mississippi" John Barrows
gave a superlative debut performance on the blues harmonica.
Jon Paris joined the band on Knock
on Wood in his second appearance with The
Professors. Jon led an incredible half-hour set of rock-and-roll
classics such as Twist and Shout,
Gloria,
Peter Gunn,
In the Midnight Hour,
Roadrunner, and a rousing finale of Chuck Berry's
Johhny B. Goode.
