Geek U.S.A.
(BC alt last line: I fucking love the U.S.A.!)
BC: Thank you. So what do you wanna hear? Heh heh, (Buffalo Bill voice) what do you wanna hear? (normal voice) Play ‘em what they wanna hear, James.
Mayonaise
BC: Thank you.
Today
BC: Thank you.
[encore break]
Iha: Someone just told me I look like Neil Diamond because of this shirt. I kinda like that.
BC: I'd like to say, um...thank you to those of you who have been supporting us for the last four years. And uh, thank you very much for staying, we realize it's a long day, but uh...and uh, we really appreciate it. You can tell all your friends that tonight was way better than last night, so.... (Billy starts Siva)
Iha: No love (possibly “Noah”?).
Siva
(feedback intro to Hummer begins)
Iha: Someone lost a bandanna.
Hummer
[encore break]
Iha: You’re much too kind, thank you very much.
BC: So uh, we're probably not gonna be back this for a long time, so...bye, bye, see you in a couple years. Alright, maybe a year and a half. And thank you very much, it's a pleasure to play for you. So whose -– who saw us play at the other stage? Thank you very much.
Iha: That wasn't really us though, that was people that look just like us, playing our songs. I hope they didn’t freak you out, it’s like we’ve hired them and they play on some nights when we’re too tired to play the main stage, they take the main stage for us. In fact, we played the second stage...
BC: Wait!
Iha: ...but we’re not playing right now.
BC: What? Alright, you're not tired, right? Are you tired or no? That didn't sound very enthusiastic, are you tired? Alright.
Iha: These people are beat.
BC: We shall rock you then.
