Notes

• Billy screws up the lyrics during "1979" and the song goes off the rails for a bit

Banter

High School Cadets Intro
United States / Star Spangled Banner
> Bullet with Butterfly Wings
BC: Memphis, thank you! I don't know what the fuck we're doing on Mud Island but we appreciate you being here with us. We’ll try to do our best tonight to rock you out, have some fun.
Drown
> Bring the Light
BC: Thank you! Do we have a problem?, heh heh. How’s everybody doing, you okay? Everybody all snuggled up warm? Hey, there’s a girl over here holding a sign: “Take me backstage.” Honey, if you knew anything about how to get backstage, a sign ain’t gonna get it done. I didn’t make up the backstage rules. I got the uh, I got the e-mail from Mötley Crüe.
Tonight, Tonight
Tarantula
That's the Way
> Lucky 13 (w/extended outro)
Today
BC: Thank you very much, thank you.
1979 (BC solo acoustic)
(Billy sings most of chorus 1 instead of chorus 2 and gets almost the whole way through before the song goes off the rails)
(BC: (singing) That we don't even care / to shake these zipper blues / and we don't know / just where our bones will rest / to dust, I guess / forgotten and absorbed / to the lights - (speaking) oops, sorry / heh heh - (singing) to the lights and towns below / fast - (speaking) it's too fuckin' cold! / (singing) faster than the speed of sound / (stops playing, speaking) you know, when I wrote this song, I didn't know I'd have to play it in fuckin' North Pole! / (starts guitar again, singing) faster than we thought we'd go - (speaking) sorry / (singing/speaking) beneath, heh heh, the sound: hope!)
> To Sheila (acoustic)
Set the Ray to Jerry
Stand Inside Your Love
Superchrist
> Doomsday Clock
Heavy Metal Machine / White Rabbit / White Horse
> On the Road Again
> I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll
(BC at beginning: People of Memphis, put your hands together one last time for the SP. Alright. We’re gonna have our own little rock and roll party right here. Want you to sing along to this last song. (singing) I love rock and roll...)
(BC after 2 choruses: Wait wait wait. Wait wait wait wait. (Billy and Ginger laugh) They’re not singing!
Ginger: They’re not singing?
BC: They’re not singing, come on, Memphis.
Jeff: [unintelligible].
BC: (singing) I love rock and roll...)
(BC right before big ending: Thank you very much, goodnight!)
[encore break]
BC: Thank you very much, thank you! Before we finish up, just want to say you guys rock, totally, thank you very much. We dedicate this last song to all of you for sticking through this whole thing, thank you very much.
