I Am One
(BC midsong: All I ever wanted was everything. All I ever wanted was everything. All I ever wanted was everything. And all I ever wanted was everything. Now what you want is what you'll get, what you want is what you get, what you want is what you get: nothing. Nothing. Nothing. And there's nothing in this motherfuckin' world that can be taken from me that hasn't already been taken! Yeah...it's a long story. And there's nothing in this motherfuckin' world that can be taken from me that hasn't already been taken, yeah. So...wish away, wish away, wish. Nothing. Nothing. And there's nothing I want anymore. Nothing. Nothing! Nothing! Nothing! Nothing! Nothing! Nothing!)
Soma
Rhinoceros
BC: Thanks for coming. We don't talk as much as we used to ‘cause usually we just say stupid shit, so...we're just -- we're not talking so much now. Don't take it as uh...uh, coldness, it's just....
Girl in crowd: We love you!

BC: Here's a love song for you lovers. And for you haters, it’s a love song too.
Iha: And you swingers.

Iha: Like to thank Darth Vader for coming out tonight, over there.
BC: Yes, thank you. ... So what do you wanna hear? Freebird? Matt, come here, I -- no, let this guy come up, come on.
Iha: [unintelligible word or two].
BC: Oh, wha -- what do you wanna hear? Freebird. Man, that is so fuckin' original. (sarcastically) Thanks, man, thanks, man, if it wasn't for people like you, I wouldn't know what the fuck to do. Nice. (D'arcy starts a lounge-y bass line) Jimmy, you know Freebird, right?, yeah, okay. (a couple of unintelligible shouts from the audience) And a souvenir. (Jimmy joins in with D'arcy and after 10 seconds...)
Freebird (tease)
Iha: (breathy singing) I'm as free as a bird. Yeah. (Jimmy immediately transitions to...)
> Cherub Rock
Iha: Hey, thanks, man.
BC: Thanks.
[encore break]
Iha: This next song is called Green Chili in Denver.
BC: So, who was at the show last night? Hello again. I hope you...uh, well, we tried to play a different set so you didn't have to listen to the same songs again. I hope somebody noticed, I don't know, maybe you did.
Guy in crowd: D'arcy, smile!!
BC: That's really stupid to say: "D'arcy, smile." That's really stupid.
Another guy in crowd: [unintelligible]!
BC: Why? It's not enough that she's playing and the show is good and you're having fun? You gotta be a...(crowd cheers)...we're not the, we're not the fuckin' Osmonds, ya know? No, sorry, I just, you know, that -- I always find that very offensive, to tell people what to do, it just doesn't make any sense to me.
Starla
BC: Thank you.
