Rocket
> Quiet
Iha: Thanks.
BC: Good evening. I'm sorry it's so cold and ugly. [unintelligible]. Are you messing around or you gonna get used to it? How are you all you people in the back?
Iha: Do you have any cheese? I ask the question, do you have the cheese?
Disarm
Today
> I Am One
(BC midsong: What you want is what you'll get and that’s nothing. What you want is what you'll get and that’s nothing. All I ever wanted was everything and all I ever wanted was everything and all I ever wanted was everything and all I got was zero. Nothing can be taken from me that has not already been taken. ‘Cause what can be taken away when there is nothing, nothing, nothing? And the world is coming up zero, the world is coming up zero, there are no more heroes but [3 unintelligible words] in a zero. All I ever wanted was everything and all I got was shit! Shit, shit, awww. What you want is what you'll get and that’s nothing. What you want is what you'll get and that’s nothing, pow. Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing! Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Oh. Straight through your motherfuckin’ heart! My eyes have seen, my mouth has tasted nothing. Emptiness is not an art form. Loneliness is not a trial of will! My soul does not need to be flagellated. ‘Cause I feel destined to [2 unintelligible words]. Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing! Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing! Nothing! Nothing! There’s nothing!!!)
BC: Thank you, thank you.
Soma
Geek U.S.A.
(BC alt last line: I fuckin’ love the U.S.A.!)
BC: Thank you all very much. You people up front, you're not too scared of us, are you? Alright, just checking. There's a lot of puzzled looks up here, that's all, I just didn't know what to make of it.
Iha: It’s Wisconsin, that’s why.
BC: We wrote....
Iha: I’m just joking, I’m joking.
BC: [2-3 unintelligible words], man. We wrote this next song, um...it was supposed to be in a movie about Milwaukee called, uh, Couples, and um...the movie fell through, so we had to put this in this other movie about Seattle. We really wish that Milwaukee movie would have been made.
Iha: Yeah, I like –- I liked that one, it was about young couples in their twenties with a lot of cheese and time on their hands, so [unintelligible].
BC: See--
Iha: I'm just kidding, just kidding, jesus!
BC: Everyone thinks I'm the mean one!
Iha: I'm making a colloquial joke, so you can save [unintelligible as Billy talks].
BC: I'm the nice one, he's the mean one.
Iha: Now, I'm just kidding, let’s just stop all this talk about fromage.
BC: Aw, just tell ‘em –- just tell them all to fuck off and then stop.
Iha: Not all cheese comes from here, you know?
BC: It's okay, he likes it. Are you ready, James? You really gotta ban materials here again.
Iha: [unintelligible].
Drown
> Hummer
Siva (with The End tease in intro)
(Iha at end of intro: And I walked on down that hall.)
Iha: Did someone say frittata?
> Cherub Rock
Iha: Thank you, everybody.
D’arcy: Goodnight.
[encore break]
Iha: [unintelligible]. Thank you. Thank you kindly. At this time, I’d like to introduce our cello player, Eric Remschneider. Thank you, Eric. A big guy, six three, um...um...whatever you’re doing, don’t. It’s nice to cuddle during the [unintelligible word], remember this? And now I will start off [unintelligible].
BC: Thank you for having us back [unintelligible word]. Jimmy's arm's all fucked up, so we can only play a couple more songs.
Iha: He's got a new disease, it started out really small and now it's growing, so if we don't get out of here, he's gonna get eaten up alive, it’s brutal. Trying for a chronic masturbator?
BC: So, if we just play a couple more songs and we don't come back out, it's not like we don't want to, it's just we can't play anymore, so hope you understand. Maybe after these couple songs you won't want us to come back out anymore, so.... Jimmy's gonna play with his feet, so....
Spaceboy
BC: Thank you.
Silverfuck / Over the Rainbow
BC: Thanks, goodnight.
Iha: [unintelligible word].
