Iha: (high pitched) Good evening!
Rocket
> Quiet
BC: Thank you! Good evening.
Today
Disarm
> Cherub Rock
BC: Thanks for comin' again. This is our, uh, first journey into your lovely Civil War city. I went to the uh, to the Battlefield Mall, I'm really glad that so many people gave their lives so you could build that mall there. It's good to know we fought the Civil War for a reason. Oh yeah, the slavery thing, I forgot, yeah. Anyway, thank you for coming, even you people way in the back even though we can't see you, but...we know you're there. Hey Lawrence, put the lights on for a second. Hi. We understand -- we understand that you people in the back have jobs, not like the people up here, that's why you couldn't get here in time to be up front, so we understand. Just kidding, a joke. Northern humor. So this is from uh, what movie, James?
Iha: It's uh, from a Tom Hanks movie, Big. You remember that where he was a little kid and he -- where he, you know, he was like a big guy...
BC: Heh heh heh.
Iha: ...and then he turned into a little guy. Big?
BC: From the Big soundtrack.
Iha: Right.
Drown
> Hummer
Geek U.S.A.
(BC alt last line: I fuckin’ love the U.S.A.!)
BC: I love the U.S.A...and fuck you, man. Why don't you come up here so we can throw some shit at you? Like free CDs or something.
Iha: (high pitched) [unintelligible 2 words]!
BC: We don't take requests, my friend.
Soma
Silverfuck / Over the Rainbow
Iha: (radio DJ voice) Why, thank you very much! (normal voice) Thank you, thank you. Thank you, oh Springfield. There's no reason -- there's no reason to mosh, brother. Why are you moshing?
BC: Wait, “as seen on MTV”, that's why.
Iha: Wow.
BC: He's seen those videos, the one where the kids are moshing, he thinks he's supposed to do that.
Iha: I like that video Easy Ridin’ or Free Easy or Even...Even Fl--
BC: Go with the flow!
Iha: Even –- go with the–-
BC: You know that song, Go with the Flow.
Iha: Yeah, they do that a lot and you just fuckin' did it, that's kick-ass dude, I really like it.
BC: Just uh, just a bit of advice for those of you who don't want to surf on top of the rest of us, uh, see, if you don't hold them up, they can't be on top of you, so if you let them fall to the ground, that's it. 'Cause if you notice it's only about ten people doing that but it seems to affect everyone, so...I think it's kinda stupid but, you know, I'm from the north, so....
Spaceboy
> I Am One / Mistreated
(BC midsong: All I ever wanted was everything. All I ever wanted was every...thing. All I ever wanted was everything and all I got was shit. Nothing can be taken from me that has not already been taken. Nothing can be taken from me (Iha’s guitar comes in) that has not already been taken –- kinda early, ain’t it? (Iha stops) Nothing can be taken from me that has not already been taken. (droning noise) Hoooo-ow! Hoooo-ow! Hooooooooo pow. Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing. Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing. Pow! Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing! Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing. Te-sti-fy! Te-sti-fy. Tes-ti-fy! Tes-ti-fy! Testify testify testify testify. Heart and soul. Heart and soul. Gotta play some blues, man. Play some blues. (Iha doodling) For 27 years, I have lived with hate in my heart. 27 years I have lived in my heart. 27 years I have lived with hate in my heart. Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing. Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing. Nothing. Nothing. ... Nothing! Nothing. There’s nothing. There is nothing. Nothing. Nothing! Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing! Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing!!!)
[encore break]
BC: Please forgive all my sins.
Iha: (high pitched humming). We’d like to play a very slow, bombastic song. Hope you like it.
Starla
> Siva
> Sweet Sweet (Billy a cappella)
