Porcelina of the Vast Oceans
> Behold! The Night Mare
Bring the Light
Tonight, Tonight
Mayonaise
Superchrist
> (Come On) Let’s Go!
(drum intro to Stellar begins)
BC: [cuts in] It’s a song called Stellar.
Stellar
BC: [cuts in] Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin.
Perfect (Billy acoustic w/Jimmy tambourine)
Lily
Today
> Tarantula
Stand Inside Your Love
> Ava Adore
BC: Thank you very much, thank you. Like to take you back now to a simpler time. A time before stupidity, avarice, greed, grunge. Pre-grunge. A time before uh, all that bullshit. Heh. Many, many moons ago. You might know this song, it was on the Singles soundtrack. Not too id--ironically, the movie’s synonymous with the grunge movement. Heh heh. Irony.
Drown
> Bullet with Butterfly Wings
Guy in crowd: Play us some hits, Billy!
BC: What would you like me to do? That’s what I thought. Unintelligible garble, that’s what you’d like me to do. See, that’s the problem with this band: one guy wants to hear one album, one guy wants to hear this B-side, one guy wants to hear the hits, no one’s ever fuckin’ happy. How ‘bout I play that song called Nothing, do you know that song Nothing, here’s how it goes. Nothing. I love that song, that’s my favorite song. That song changed my life. It’ll change yours too. Hey listen, I’m fully aware that Australians are as rude as Americans, okay, you don’t have to prove it to me. There you go. I’m rude, you’re fuckin’ rude, let’s all be rude together.
1979 (Billy solo acoustic)
That’s the Way (abandoned right before lyrics would start)
Girl in crowd: [unintelligible]!
BC: (while pointing into the crowd) Shut. The fuck. Up. What the fuck do you want me to do? I’m playing a song, do you want me to stop and change the song to another song, alright, I’ll change the fuckin’ song. I’m being kinda funny but what the fuck do you want me to do? At this point, the concert’s already 90 minutes long, okay, most bands at this point would fuckin’ quit and go home and do cocaine, alright? The show still has another hour to go, for all you know, I’m gonna play that fuckin’ song. What do you want me to do? Do you want me to [unintelligible, possibly “slow”], do you want me to like bleed, do you want me to pull my arm off and beat you with it, what do you want me to do? I’m just one guy with one guitar and a high, whiny voice, I can only do so much. Let’s just all get along, Australia, I love you, you sorta like me, let’s just get along.
That’s the Way (Billy 12-string w/Lisa)
