Tonight, Tonight (Billy solo piano) 99 Floors (Billy solo acoustic) Today (Billy solo acoustic) BC: Thank you very much. Now we have a lot of music planned for you. Those of you a little older, it’s about a two and a half hour show, so...pace your medication. My Poor Troubled Heart (Billy solo acoustic) Freedom Ain’t What It Used to Be (Billy solo acoustic) For Your Love Drum + Fife BC: This is a song from the Teargarden album-ishly. Thank you to the seven people that downloaded it, I appreciate that. This is a song called Stitch in Time. A Stitch in Time Mayonaise Prairie Song BC: Alright. We’ve now reached the portion of the show where we go into the Adore album. Thank you to the 14 people that bought it at the time. How funny, uh, for the Adore album, I wrote some 35-something songs, somewhere around there. Take a few or less. Um, so yeah, so we’d like to play a short suite of songs from that 35 batch. And uh, in many cases we’re playing the songs as they were written so you get a chance of the original feeling of the song, maybe not the produced song, so we hope you enjoy that. Now this first song.... This first song, uh, has never been played live...for people. Now those of you talking, would you raise your hands? It’s okay, I won’t yell at you, it’s okay. For those of you talking, please raise your hands, okay? Okay, you wanna leave for this portion. It gets very intimate and I know in the modern world, a lot of people have trouble with intimacy. You communicate through devices and um, I’m a real person, I know that’s hard to deal with. Here I am. And uh, heh heh, yes, I’m breaking through the wall. Is the word “convivial?” Does anyone know that word? Does anyone talking know the word “convivial?” Uh, not to spoil the mood but uh, I thought I’d explain this song a little bit before I play it. Uh, sometimes you read these crazy things about where somebody does something because they heard voices in their head. I had an incidence where, um, a young man - this is way back in the day - decided to kill another young boy because he said my music had told him to do it. So, my first artistic impulse was to write a song and I thought, “No, that’s kinda cheesy. I think the young man’s death was significant enough not to try to compartmentalize it into a four minute ode.” But that said, this song came out of me, um, some months later and uh, as I was writing it, I couldn’t help but think about that young man and the dreams that he gave up at the hands of someone else who decided that he was in his way. This is a song called Jersey Shore. Jersey Shore Sparrow Perfect To Sheila (with Katie Cole on bass & vocals, Billy plays piano) > '''Behold! The Night Mare''' (with Katie Cole on bass & vocals, Billy plays piano) > For Martha (Billy plays piano) BC: I figure if, uh, songs about my dead mother don’t shut you up, a ukulele will. Thank you very much, thank you for being here with us, thank you. Blissed and Gone (Billy solo ukulele) Ava Adore Now and Then (abandoned - backing track stops after 7 notes) BC: (off mic) I fucked up! (on mic) I thought it was the wrong song, sorry. Now and Then (BC over intro: First gig blues. Buffalo.  Buffalo style.) The Crying Tree of Mercury 1979 (with Katie Cole on vocals) Run2Me (with Katie Cole on vocals) BC: Thank you, thank you so kindly. Pinwheels (with Katie Cole on vocals) BC: Ms. Katie Cole. Guy in crowd: Tribute to Johnny! Stand Inside Your Love (abandoned quickly) > Tribute to Johnny (tease) BC: Anytime buddy, anytime. Stand Inside Your Love (with Katie Cole on vocals) BC: What’d you say, the Sabres won the Cup? They were deep in the playoffs, the Sabres, last I checked they were really deep in the playoffs. That’s last I checked! That was like 1973 or something. Ay vay. Hey! Hey! I’m not the rock star who tried to buy your football team and move it away, okay? [unintelligible] Landslide (with Katie Cole on vocals) A New Poetry (Billy plays piano, switches to guitar after lyrics) BC: Thank you very much. [encore break, drum machine continues playing] Spaceboy (Billy solo acoustic) El-A-Noy [encore break] BC: I appreciate that, thank you. Everybody up there have a good time? Alright. Cardinal Rule (Billy solo acoustic) BC: Thank you very much.
