(BC midsong: All I ever wanted was everything. All I ever wanted was everything. 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 that has not already been taken! What you want is what you’ll get and what you want is what you’ll get and what you want is what you’ll get and what you want is what you got [unintelligible noise]! Ow! Hoooeeee-yeah! Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing! Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing! Straight from the heart. Straight from the heart –- pow! Loneliness is emptiness and emptiness is cleanliness and cleanliness is godliness and godliness is next to nothingness. Empty, zero, empty, zero, there are no more heroes, everything’s coming up zeros, there are no more heroes. Everything’s coming up zeros. Zeros. Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing! Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing. Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing. Gimme gimme gimme gimme!!...nothing!! Nooooooothing. Noooothing! Nothing. What have you got?! Nothing! What have you got? Nothing. What do you need? Everything. What have you got? Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing, nothing, nothing. Nothing! Ahhh. Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing. Straight from the heart. Pow! Nothing! One nine nine four. Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing! Nothing! Nothing! Nothing!!!)
[encore break]
Iha: Are you people tired from all the rain? Oh, okay.
BC: “Are you tired from the rain?” What kind of question is that?
Iha: It’s a simple question, it means “are you tired from the rain?”, being bombarded from the nature’s forces...like Woodstock!
BC: This guy here –- this guy right here....
Iha: What does it say?!
BC: It says “Are you happy?”
Iha: Heh heh.
BC: I’d be happy if it was people like you weren’t holding signs.
Iha: In the spirit of Woodstock, we're gonna play a couple Crosby, Stills and Nash songs. I hope you like ‘em.
Siva
Porcelina / Spaced
> Silverfuck / Over the Rainbow / Fantastic Voyage
Iha over feedback outro: Yeah! You motherfuckers, come on! Yeah! Come on, fuck this! Come on! Yeah! Yeah! Slide, slide, slippity slide, when you’re living in the city, it’s do or die! Come along on a fantastic voyage! Slide, slide, slippity slide, living in the city, it’s do or die! Ow! Come on! Come on, you motherfuckers! Come on, Texas, I can’t hear you! I can’t hear you! Slide, slide, slippity slide, when you’re living in the city, it’s do or die. Come on along on a fantastic voyage! Come on! Come on! Jump, you motherfuckers, jump! Do something! Come on! Don’t just stand there, do something! Come on! Either sit down, stand up or shut up! Just like I say, come on! Yeah!!! Goodnight, goodnight everyone, thank you, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. (laughing) Thank you, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
