Bit 4 Intro Johanna I’m Ready BC: Thank you very much. This is a song called Pretty, Pretty Star. Pretty, Pretty Star M.O.H. To Love Somebody BC: Thank you, thank you, thank you. Sorrows in Blue BC: Thank you, heh. Thank you, heh. This is our, uh, this is our 5th concert and, uh, a few of the concerts so far, the audience has had that kinda “What?” look on their face. Like “What are you doing now?” And, uh, thank you for such a warm reception, I-I realize that maybe the audience just needs to be stoned when we play. Heh. Maybe if you get it, I’ll just have it, or you get a ticket, you get some weed or something. With the ticket. Heh. 4:20 man. Um, so...how’s everybody doing, you alright? Heh. Strayz (Billy solo) A100 > The Camera Eye unknown Bit (abandoned?) BC: Sorry, just having some technical difficulties. .... Seems like every time I come to Amsterdam, I have technical difficulties. Maybe it’s just me. (testing guitar) We have none of the controller functions working, that’s the problem. So, I’ll tell you a little story, (makes little fanfare noises). Music please! Some music for a story please. (Liesegang plays some Oriental music) Aw, why did you switch the Oriental part ‘cause it’s not gonna work? “One time there was this little boy in China....” (music continues)   Heh. (testing guitar effects)  Well, close. You gotta load the right [unintelligible]. “So there was this little boy in China...” (Linda laughs, Oriental music starts again) Come along now. The little boy in China’s waiting for the rock. It’s not that hard. (testing guitar again) It no worky. Liesegang: El sucko. (plays dreamy noises) (loud bang followed by crowd cheering) BC: It no worky. (testing guitar again) (Liesegang plays a scale of boopy notes) Yeah. ‘Bout 15 fuckin’ minutes too late. Oh look, here comes another one. (brief guitar testing followed by loud crowd cheer) This is what we call rock and roll hell. Now and Then Walking Shade Mini Sittin’ on Top of the World > All Things Change [encore break] BC: Why are guys always throwing these little...teddy bear things to me? Makes me question myself. Linda: ‘Cause they think you’re beautiful. BC: Kinda cheap. Heh heh. I’m a King Bee > It’s a Long Way to the Top BC: Thank you, thank you. [encore break] Bit 5 BC: Thanks.
