I Am One
(BC midsong: You speak in whispered cries, [2 unintelligible words]. I land on my [unintelligible]. I know I’m real, what is this all, just a dream? I know I can feel, I’m not sure how to see. (quiet growl) Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our concert. Tonight we take you on Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, into the deep psyche, into the deep psyche of troubled adults and of former teens. Oh. Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight we ask you to bear with us, we ask you bear with us, as we ask you to join our revolution, our revolution, our revolution. Our revolution does not wave any flags because we don’t need flags and our revolution doesn’t shoot any guns because we don’t need any guns, we don’t need bullets. We have the greatest gift of all and that’s a pure heart and our art. Woo! (solo break) So let us crawl inside your ears. Let us run around inside your mouth, let us kick you in the stomach and give you a good smack on the fuckin’ ass. Woo! That’s right. Us Yankees are gonna try and show you somethin’. That’s just a joke, that’s just a joke. (sings) We are the machines...)
Ava Adore (abandoned after first part of intro)
BC: Tommy, turn on the fucking light. Thank you. We'll try that one more time 'cause when we stop, you're supposed to cheer, it's part of the show.

Zero
BC: Thank you very much, people of Alabama. Thank you very much, thank you very much. How's everybody doing out there, you alright? How many people were at the record store thingie today? Thank you very much, thank you, thank you. Some of the people we met with today were telling me that when we played here before there was some problem, I don’t know, somebody threw a shoe, I don't fuckin’ even remember what they were talking about, but anybody who thinks we have a problem being here, obviously we don't 'cause we're back, so.... If there was a problem, I'm too dumb to remember there was a problem, so there is no problem and uh, hope you don't have a problem with us and uh, we love you and thank you very much for coming to our concert. We'd now like to play you yet another new song. Yes I know, the old songs are better than the new ones, I know, I've heard this before. We'd like to play you a new song, it's called I of the Mourning.
