To Sheila
BC: Thank you very much, thank you very much, thank you very much, thank you very much, thank you very much, thank you very much. We’d now like to play you a new song...from a batch of new songs, this is called Shhtand Inside Your Love.
Stand Inside Your Love
> I Am One
(BC midsong: We’d like to take a moment to introduce you to our new bass player. She is Melissa of the many notes. Over here on my left, we have James Spookytooth. (Iha solos for 10 seconds) Go Spooky. Behind me on the drums, we have Fred the Octopus, Fred the Octopus. (Jimmy solos for about 5 seconds) Take it, Fred. (Jimmy starts the beat again) My name is Jack. (Billy solos for 20 seconds) Thank you. Now, we’re not really sure what kind of circus this is, but...must be one of them European circuses. We’re gonna take it way down right here, we’re gonna take it way down right here, we’re gonna take it way down. Waaaaaaaaaaay dowwwn. That’s right, we’re gonna blow the roof of this motherfucker right now. Ow!! Just like Pat Travers. So let us take a moment to penetrate your...penetrate your, penetrate your ears, eviscerate your eyes, swim around inside your mouth, yank a little bit on your tongue, reach down in your throat, underneath your lung and grab your heart, (makes noise). What does this mean? It doesn’t mean anything. Every night we declare this moment as a manifesto. Well, tonight the manifesto is very simple: tonight we shall rock. Alright, kick it down for a second there, JC, kick it down. The Octopus is loose. We ask you for a moment of complete silence to witness this death defying moment of guitar serpitude. Shhh. We are the machines....)

Pale Scales
The Everlasting Gaze
Rock On
(BC during Iha solo: Kermit the Frog on the lead guitar.)
BC: Rock on, rock on. We’re gonna rock on. Does anybody else have that Norway flu? You know, the flu from Norway. Thank you very much, thank you very much, thank you very much, thank you very much. Can we get the lights on a little bit? I’d like to see the beautiful faces. Lights, cameras, there you go! There you are. How’s it going back there?
Iha: Hey.
BC: Are you all drunk on Danish beer, is that why you’re...what’s going on? What’s goin’ on?
Iha: What’s goin’ on out there?
BC: We’re not sure if you got the message back there, but we’re gonna rock on. I see some of the jokes do not translate, thank you.
Iha: Alright.
BC: That’s enough, heh heh, this is another new song, it’s called I of the Mourning, thank you.
I of the Mourning
BC: (laughing) I can’t do this, I can’t do this next song. (coughs four times) Now we’ll just play jazz.
Iha: [unintelligible word] here, what do you want? (Jimmy plays a jazz beat) Oh. How are you? I am fine. Very nice to see you. Okay, we go back in time.
Smoke on the Water (tease - Billy plays the riff under Iha’s talking and Jimmy joins in)
Iha: An old song. We go back to 1974...to Deep Purple, they did rock. (screams) I can’t hear you!! Ooh. Yeah, come on, you motherfucker. Come on!! Yeah! You know what I’m talkin’ about [unintelligible] to Deep Purple. Let’s kick it tonight, come on! Ooh. Yeah, do the shake. Shake those bon-bons. (song peters out)
> Everybody (Backstreet’s Back) (tease - Iha sings a few lines)
Iha: (singing) Everybody! Rock - yeah, rock your body. Backstreet’s back!

> Everybody (Backstreet’s Back) (tease - Iha sings a couple more lines)

Iha: Sorry, okay. Goin’ up.

Cherub Rock
BC: Thank you!
[encore break]
Iha: Uh, no, these are different ones, we have tuned them. (a few seconds later, Billy is laughing) This man was asking if these are Swedish stools. I don’t know if there’s a translation for the lab tech. Alright, we’ll keep on rocking acoustically.
BC: No, these are solid Danish stools.
Iha: Yes. Made from the heart. Hearth. Polka now.
1979 (acoustic, Jimmy plays guitar)
BC: Thank you. ... Thank you. We’d now like to play you a song off our uh - we put this album out in 1998 called Adore and this is a song from Adore. They didn’t quite understand that album in America, but we know that you understood it over here, so thank you very much.

Now that I’m the proud father of a Danish baby. Now that me and Yelena have had a child. Little Mingus. (laughing) You don’t get the joke, it’s funny.
