Eggy performed at Buffalo Iron Works on October 15, 2026, marking the debut of a nearly 11-minute cover of the Steve Miller Band song Wild Mountain Honey. The set also featured the band’s return to several songs that had not been played in months.
Why it matters
The setlist adjustments and song debuts highlight the band's ongoing commitment to evolving its live catalog during the fall tour. Such performances provide long-time followers with rare opportunities to hear tracks that have been absent from rotation for significant durations.
The debut performance of Wild Mountain Honey lasted nearly 11 minutes. Other returning tracks included Nearly Always Late, which saw a 59-show gap since its last performance on March 13, 2026.
