The Plexi on the other side has most of the weird/distorting effects running into it--ring mod, auto filter, Big Muff. Let us assume therefore that there is also some Marshall-y distortion involved on that side, through the onboard gain control.
My assumption is that the two combos keep the midrange sound steady so that there's plenty of body and articulation on the sound, and the Marshall is there for weird, bloopy, blippy, squealy, highly effected stuff.
Not a bad idea, but I think it is a bit much. I can totally imagine benefits to having a two-amp stereo setup with a primarily clean side (JC120, Twin Reverb) and a primarily dirty side (Marshall, Soldano, Boogie, Hiwatt). Frankly I think it's the Trace that pushes that rig into overkill.

It Came from the Ground, maybe? Or The Shining?
The Four EPs as I call them (EP1, EP2, EP3, and It Came from the Ground) can all be fit on one CDR, and that's his REAL lost masterpiece. All those songs are incredible!

Now, listening to "All Possibilities" from the much-maligned Have You Fed the Fish -- it had sort of a similar feel, but this isn't as catchy as I recall.

My guess is "Another Pearl" from your description.

the guy was outSTANDING -- and played some song for 20 minutes that had one of the most earthshaking verses and choruses I've ever heard.
My memory of it (going back about 5 years now) was that it had a Todd Rundgren-y, New Radicals-esque soaring quality to it -- uptempo, with the boy climbing around in the rafters. Again, I recall it being just two parts that could go back and forth between each other ad infinitum. It easily outclassed everything on /Bewilderbeest/...

The first album is a 'sprawling epic' whereas the later ones are more disciplined.
I'll have a skim through, I have a long live 'tape' from Shepherds Bush Empire from his bewilderbeest days, that song is most likely there.

NTI, your show is mentioned on setlist.fm but doesn't have an, errr, setlist. Maybe this show from around the same time can offer some clues?

Boy did his new “comeback” album Banana Skin Shoes just come and go without a trace. Did Pitchfork even bother reviewing it?

He did go on "Sunday Brunch", the interview was fine but they faded the song out...
