Synopsis: Vic really does say goodbye to Nita's Jukebox during this show. All the songs with the exception of the Vic Masters numbers and "He's Got You" were on Nita's jukebox this final week of business. Before launching into "Strangers", Vic walks over to talk to the juke, telling it "the next time you see me, you'll have no recollection of me. When I come to you for consolation, you'll be full of Metallica records." A condenced version of this show was featured on the actual closing night , July 12. Adrian Smith guested on "Soul & Inspiration" both nights.

VIC's Original Playbill Comments: "This show , Vic Masters' Cabaret Revoltaire, found the happiest home for our humble pageant here in these four walls. Nita and Charlie have been real cool about allowing me to hang things from the ceiling and keep a coffin in the backroom for two weeks. It's hard to imagine another place that would put up with that. So associated was this show with Nita's Hideaway that people even dropped mail off for me there. My thanks go to them and to Jamal & Jim for giving me the best sound anywhere, Le Anne for keeping the Cokes coming and and everyone behind the bar and to Nita's cowboy friend for not beating me up whenever I ruined a Jim Reeves song. The night is young, I'd better quit while I'm ahead. See ya, Nita's!"
