Iha: Chug.
D’arcy: Hey.
Cherub Rock
BC: Good evening.
Disarm
> Rocket
> Quiet
I Am One
(BC midsong: All I ever wanted was everything! All I ever wanted was everything. And all I ever wanted was everything and all I got was shit! Nothing can be taken from me that hasn't already been taken. Nothing can be stripped from me that hasn't already been taken. What you what is what you'll get and what you want is what you'll get. And what you want is what you'll get and that's nothing. Fuckin’...nothing. Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing! Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing. Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing! Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing. I got the blues! Play some guitar, James. (Iha solos for a minute, including raygun noises) For 27 years I have lived with jealousy and hate in my heart. And hurt beats pain. Part of me is love and part of me is pain. (band stops) Just 'cause you’ve got a heart don't mean you've got feelings. And just because you've got parents don’t mean you know what the fuck's going on. Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing. I testify. Straight through the heart. Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing. Ah, look, another shoe from another fuckin' idiot. And what a surprise, it would be a man throwing a shoe. That's alright. If that's the best statement you can make in your life is to throw a shoe, more power to you. You can tell all your friends at uh, Denny's about it tomorrow.
Iha: And you can eat the french fries.
BC: What you want is what you'll get and that's nothing. What you want is what you'll get and that's nothing. We got the blues! We got the motherfuckin' blues. Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing. (band kicks back in) Nothing. Nothing! Nothing! Yeowww!!! Ow!!!!)
BC: [unintelligible 2-3 words]. Welcome to a rock show. Hey Laz, put the lights up. Alright, now throw shit so we can see you, come on, throw it now. Not so brave now, are you? Ah, there's a brave man. [2-3 unintelligible words], and for every brave idiot that stands there, there's five brave idiots watching him do it.
Iha: Heh heh.
BC: What's the matter, not like you saw on MTV? You wanna see a concert or you wanna see a video?
Jimmy: I’d rather see a video.
BC: Then let us the fuck play and don't throw shit at us!
Jimmy: I'd rather see a video game.
BC: Thank you. Thank you, thank you to the intelligent people, thank you, I hope you aren't offended. We love that you come to our concerts, we really appreciate it, but we just don't want to be targets for your shoes.
D’arcy: Unless -- unless you're going to throw something really good. [unintelligible], it’s really cool.
BC: If you throw 20 dollar bills or something.
Iha: What’s the problem? Heh heh.
BC: Here's our grunge classic.
Drown
> Hummer
Geek U.S.A.
(BC alt last line: I fuckin’ love the U.S.A.!)
Mayonaise
BC: Thank you very much. We’re really dumb. While it may not always seem like it, we do appreciate that you are here, very much. So, to you, we dedicate this um....
Iha: This very merry, merry song...by [2 unintelligible words].
BC: Just us.
Today
> Siva
[encore break]
Iha: (high pitched) Thank you! (normal voice) Thank you. Remember, we haven't practiced in a while, heh heh.
Soma
[encore break]
Iha: [cuts in] (beatboxing) Yeah, put your motherfucking hands up in the air, you -– yeah! [3-4 unintelligible words], come on, come on, I can’t hear you! I’m just -– just joking, just put your hands down, put your hands down. This is a -- this is an old song from Neil Young, it's called [unintelligible word], heh.
Jimmy: NASCAR [unintelligible word or two], Pain and Blues.
