Lyric
Endless Summer
BC: Thank you! It’s a little hard to sing about summer today. ‘Cause I’m so hot.
Love Lies in Ruin
> Declarations of Faith
Settle Down
BC: Thank you very much, thank you very much. Welcome, welcome, welcome every one and all. Even those who aren’t here, welcome. Thank you so much for coming out on a wonderfully brisk Chicago evening. I, I went to my dentist today and he was like “Yeah, you know, I was in Chicago recently and it was really...it was cold and it was rainy and it was gray” and I was like “And?” He’s like, “Well, that’s it” and I’m like “And? That’s no and.” He doesn’t understand. Do you understand? I always say if you have to explain a joke, it’s not funny, so I guess that’s not funny. But, uh, thank you, Joe. Um, this next song is, uh, also from Mary Star of the Sea...
Girl in crowd: I love you!
BC: ...it’s one of our favorite songs, I love you too. At least that’s what I told her last night. I already told her, ha ha. (rimshot from Jimmy) And, uh....
Sweeney: You still got it, dude!
BC: We hope you like this one too, this is called El Sol.
El Sol
> Honestly
> Riverview
> Spilled Milk
BC: Thank you, heh heh. Like to take a second to introduce the Zwan. On the geetar, Mr. Matt...Jack...Sweeney. On the drums, Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin. On the lovely violin, the sinewy bass, the Paz. Yes, yes. Heh heh. And on the piano, guitar, harmonica, skin flute...heh, Mr. David Pajo (pronounced Pa-JOE).
Sweeney: (in weird voice) And on guitar, Mr. Billy Corgan.
Of a Broken Heart
Friends as Lovers, Lovers as Friends
Jesus, I
> Mary Star of the Sea
(BC after lyrics, before coda: Thank you very much, thank you. We are the Zwan.)
BC: Thank you very much, thank you.
[encore break]
BC: Thank you.
I’m Eighteen
> Baby, Let’s Rock!
BC: Thank you, Chicago. You’re the best, you’re the best, you’re the best.
[encore break]
BC: Thank you very much, thank you. Thanks for making us feel so welcome and special. “Special.” That’s such a scary word, isn’t it? “Special.” ...
Paz: You are special.
BC: Huh?
Paz: You are special.
BC: I’m special? (crowd cheers) As in, like, yellow bus special or...? Sorry. Heh heh, Jimmy’s ready to go home, okay. Thanks again, this is a song called New Poetry.
A New Poetry
BC: God bless you all, thank you very much. God bless you.
