Banter

Sweeney: Mom?
Endless Summer
Lyric
> Settle Down
BC: I gotta...technical problem. How’s everybody doing? (crowd cheers) Alright. ...
Sweeney: Can everybody hear Dave Pajo’s guitar okay? ... Okay, good.
BC: Okay, let’s be serious now because this song’s serious. Um, we’d like to play a song for you, it’s the last song on our new album. We dedicate this one to the ladies, it’s called Come With Me.
Come With Me
BC: It was originally titled “Come With Me If You Can.” It was a little too wordy, you know what I’m sayin’? Thank you very much, thank you. Matt, got your thing together?
Sweeney: You know that part in Endless Summer where, I, you, I, you totally left me hanging, both of you guys. During the (singing) “Yeeaahhh,” (speaking) I was the only guy doing it and I felt like such a dick. You didn’t do it and you didn’t do it.
BC: He’s so stoned he doesn’t even know what the fuck he’s talking about.
Desire
I’m Eighteen
> Baby, Let’s Rock!
Sweeney: Make your own damn joke, dude. Naw, I’m just kidding.
Jesus, I
> God’s Gonna Set This World on Fire
BC: Thank you very much, thank you. Alright! I’d like to take a moment to introduce the Zwan to you. On the keyboards, on the guitar, on the harmonica, Mr. Davey Pajo. On the bass and the vee-olin, the lovely Paz. On guitar, Mr. Matt Sweeney.
Sweeney: On guitar, Mr. Billy Corgan.
BC: And the man in the middle, Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin. I applaud you, I know you.
Sweeney: Give him a hand.
BC: Like to play another song from, um, Mary Star of the Sea. This is a song called Of a Broken Heart.
Of a Broken Heart
Friends as Lovers, Lovers as Friends
Ride a Black Swan
> Riverview (abandoned - Jimmy read the setlist wrong)
Honestly
> Riverview
(BC during opening drums: This is a song about Chicago.)
> Spilled Milk
BC: Thank you!
[encore break]
Sweeney: We wanna thank Dead Meadow for coming with us, they were great.
BC: Thank you very much, thank you very much. I dedicate this water to you. Thank you. (crowd chants “Chug! Chug! Chug!”, followed by collective groaning, then a big cheer) (Jimmy starts drums for Mary Star of the Sea) You all probably went to college, right? I didn’t go to college, so I don’t know about the beer bongs and the, uh, sloppy sex, so I skipped all over all of that. This is a song, um, the title track off our debut album, Mary Star of the Sea.
Mary Star of the Sea
(BC after lyrics, before coda: God bless you, we are Zwan.)
