If There is a God (Billy/Iha only)
> Stay (Billy/Iha only)
BC: Thank you very much. We'd like to bring out an old friend right now, play some drums, his name is Ian Paice, he's from Deep Purple.
Smoke on the Water (tease - first 7 notes)
Ol' 55
BC: We'd like to play a new song for you that I wrote about two weeks ago so you can let me know if it's any good. It's called, uh - heh heh heh. It's called, uh...
Guy in crowd: Two weeks old!
BC: Heh heh. It's called “How do you follow The Who on a Sunday afternoon?” Heh heh heh. No, this is called The Age of Innocence and uh, see, if you like it we'll put it on our new album, if you don't like it, we won't, so.... Um, Ian, after you.
Age of Innocence
BC: Thank you. Thank you very much. Now we'd like to take you right back down. Way down. This one goes out to all who have lost their way...which I think means all of us. Heh heh. This is Glass and the Infinite Children. No, you start this one, Ian. Glass and the Ghost Children?
Jimmy: (off mic) Ah, right.
BC: You start this one.
Jimmy: (off mic) Right?
BC: Yeah, you did.
Iha: No, you were....
BC: Heh. Oh I start it. (starts song) Sorry, heh heh. Oh, now you start it. I'll finish it though.
Glass and the Ghost Children
BC: So I'd just like to say that it's a real honor to share the same stage with these great rock legends: The Who, Neil Young, Brian Wilson.
Jimmy: (off mic) Pearl Jam.
BC: Pearl Jam?
Iha: Rockin’.
BC: They're not rock legends yet, they will be though. But thank you to them for inspiring us eternally. Not gonna remember this? Heh heh.
Iha: Just wing it.
Disarm
BC: God bless you, thank you.
Iha: Thanks.
