Geek U.S.A.
Quiet
Disarm
> Today
I Am One
(BC midsong: Shh. So what do you know?! What have you learned? What do you want? Do you care? ‘Cause nothing can be taken from me that hasn't already been taken! Now what you want is what you'll get: nothing. ‘Cause all I ever wanted was everything! And what does it mean, what does it mean?: it means nothing, no. [cut] What you want is what you get. What you want is what you get. Straight through your heart, straight through your heart, straight through your heart. And there's nothing I want. I don't care. And there's nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing! Nothing! Nothing! Nothing!)
Hummer
Soma
> Rocket
BC: Thanks. How are you? Ahh!!! How are you? Are you okay? Do your parents love you?
D’arcy: Heh heh.
Guy in crowd: I'm from Chicago!
BC: I don't give a fuck if you're from Chicago. Where you're from does not matter to me. (Iha starts Mayonaise) This is called Mayonaise, it's from our new album.
Mayonaise
Siva
Cherub Rock
[encore break]
Iha: Thanks. At this point, I’d make a joke but got nothing to say. Just the sad tears of a sad clown. This is called Ode to a Sad Clown, I wrote this in Venice...and uh, heh heh, yeah.
BC: Shhh.
Crush
BC: Heh heh heh. I don't know what to play, I'm sorry.
D’arcy: (off mic) Tristessa.
BC: Yeah. D'arcy has a suggestion, you’d like it. Un momento. We haven't played this song in a while, so excuse it if it's kinda lame, but uh....
Tristessa
BC: Thanks, bye. Live fun.
[encore break]
Iha: [cuts in] ...in, uh, Northampton. Ha ha! Ha ha! Just kidding, I know we're in Essex, I know that. “You big American jerk, you come over here and you make stupid jokes.” You know, I got an uncle, he's got a weak back. Guess how long he's had it? About a week back, heh. But seriously, heh heh, at the end of the day, uh, heh heh....
BC: Hi.
Iha: I apologize, no more bad jokes.
BC: Well... (various crowd requests) No, we're not gonna play that song, I'm sorry. No, we're not gonna play that one either. Heh! There you go, this guy knows. This is called Silverfuck...and it goes some kind like this.
Silverfuck / Over the Rainbow
BC: There is no understanding, there is only pain.
