Notes:: Just when patrons may have thought the party was coming to a close, Byron Lee and the Dragonaires returned to the stage at 2 a.m., and gave the St. Bess patrons a blast from the past. The band did old soca/calypso favourites like, 'Butterfly', 'It's Carnival' and 'Dolla Wine'. When the band, however did another of their popular songs, 'Soca Train', patrons needed no instructions for this one, as they immediately assumed the position and formed a soca train around the venue. With women in front and men behind, the train went around the venue, but soon broke up when [Keisha] changed gears and did 'Passe', another popular soca song. After the band did their slate of songs, they showed the crowd just how versatile they were, as they did a few renditions from a Jamaican collection of reggae songs.
