High School Cadets Intro
United States / Star Spangled Banner
Bullet with Butterfly Wings
BC: Philly...Philly! Philly style. Thank you, thank you for coming tonight, we hope you have a great time. Gonna play lots of new songs, gonna play lots of medium-old songs and we’re gonna play a few old songs. Yeah! This is a dusty right here. Taking you way back.
Drown
Bring the Light
BC: Thank you. ... Jimmy just told me he got attacked by a moth. That would be a Philly moth, Jimmy. A Philly moth.
Stand Inside Your Love
> Tonight, Tonight
Tarantula
Home
> Hummer
Starla
BC: Thank you Philly, thank you. How’s everybody doing, you okay? How are you up there, you okay up there? Of course you guys in the back are getting all the weed smoke coming up from down here, it’s all going back there. Maybe it’s not marijuana I smell, maybe it’s just incense. ... I’m just killing time so I can catch my breath so, uh, just talk amongst yourselves. I promised myself when I came out here that I wouldn’t gloat about the Bears beating the Eagles... (crowd boos, Billy laughs) Come on, boo me, come on. (more booing) You guys, heh, when you boo me, it reminded me of the old days, the good old days when we got booed all the time. I don’t get booed like I used to, but then again I don’t say stupid shit like the Bears beat the Eagles like I used to. I’d like to dedicate this next song to one Donovan F. McNabb. Donovan of course from Chicago where we’re from. Okay, don’t get mad. Hey listen, listen, seriously, seriously, seriously...what’s with Andy Reid’s mustache? What’s the deal with that? (crowd does E-A-G-L-E-S chant) Hey listen, I’m glad you’re passionate about your losing team just like we are. Phillies, Cubs, Eagles, Bears, all the same shit. False hope...crash. False hope...crash. Get all excited...crash. Anyway, I love this city, it’s a great city, I appreciate being here with you tonight. Place has a lot of soul, lot of love in it, we appreciate it, appreciate Philly coming up strong for the Pumpkins. As you know, we’re playing the next three nights. I think there might be a few tickets left for the last show so if you want to go to that show, we’d like to see you. I promise to do something extra special like not make fun of the Eagles if you come to the fourth show. Anyway...
1979 (Billy solo acoustic)
BC: Now, since we’re all friends here, I’ve been jokingly, jokingly, referring to Jimmy as my life partner. Normally I say “ladies and gentlemen, my life partner, Mr. Geor - Jimmy Chamberlin.” Jimmy. Jimmy, right? And because of me introducing you as my life partner, rumors have started once again that I have an alternative lifestyle. Now, everybody should do what they wanna do. Personally I like girls. Jimmy, heh, he likes girls. Jimmy is married and he has two children, although I’m not married and have no children so that’s a little suspicious. It does cast some shadow onto my assertion. Heh heh. So lovely ladies of Philly, I am looking for a wife. Not that I’m a good candidate, heh heh, but I’m still looking. And this song is the kind of relationship I’m looking for: a perfect one.
Perfect (Billy acoustic w/Jimmy tambourine)
Set the Ray to Jerry
Today
That’s the Way
> Superchrist
> Doomsday Clock
Heavy Metal Machine / White Rabbit / White Horse
> On the Road Again
> I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll
(BC at beginning: People of Philadelphia, put your hands together. We’d like you to sing along on this last song, we know you know the words. In fact, we’re sure you know the words. (sings) I love rock ‘n’ roll.... ... I said we need you to sing along. We don’t want to hear no non-singing. (sings) I love rock ‘n’ roll....)
(BC before very end: Thank you, good night!)
