BC: Thank you very much, thank you, thank you. You’re very kind, thank you. Did everyone have a good festival? (crowd cheers) (a girl flashes her breasts on the video screen and the crowd cheers again) Yeah, exactly, heh heh. There’s a certain thing about the English girl. Heh heh heh. Some willingness to take her top off so quickly. (some booing) Oh, I’m just kidding. We know American girls are sluts too. Heh heh heh. See, isn’t it great to be alternative, you can say all those kinda things. Anyway, heh, here’s a song you might remember.
1979 (Billy solo acoustic)
BC: Thank you very much. I’d like to play a song from our Zeitgeist album. The new album, Zeitgeist. Yeah, uh...heh heh. This is from my new album, fuckers!
Death From Above (Billy w/Lisa)
Tonight, Tonight
That’s the Way
> Heavy Metal Machine / White Rabbit
BC: Thank you! Alright, we’ve come to the end, the bitter end. (crowd boos) Hey man, I don’t make up the rules. If I made up the rules, who knows what’d happen? Like to say thank you very much for stickin’ around, we appreciate it. We know it’s a long weekend, we appreciate you listening to us, we’re very humbled to be back on this stage. Yes, miracles can happen, heh heh. Alright, one more miracle but before we go, god bless you, love you, be careful, go home nice, safe.
Cherub Rock
MC: (over PA) That is it from the main stage at Reading, we hope you’ve had the best weekend of your lives! Please ask anyone collecting you by car to follow signs to the pickup point, not to the orange carpark, the pickup point is outside the orange gate at the far end of the orange campsite. For everyone on the main stage and all the stages at Reading, thank you so much, for all the crews and the security and everybody, take care on your way back to the campsite and we’ll see you at Reading 2008, goodnight!
