Vanilla
BC: Thank you. Any requests?
Many people in crowd: [Requests]! Once Upon a Time. Once Upon a Time. Yeah, Once Upon a Time.
BC: Ooh, that’s a good time. I’ll try Once Upon a Time, I haven’t played that in a while.
Once Upon a Time
La Dolly Vita (abandoned - possibly just remembering the chords)
BC: So, as I’ve been asking the last few days ‘cause we had the internet crap out, if you could just please avoid streaming for this part, if anybody’s streaming ‘cause the internet totally...shite the bed the other day.
La Dolly Vita
BC: Thank you. [cut] Could I get some tea?
Lady staffer: What do you want?
BC: I want the world, but I’d like some tea.
Lady staffer: We only have two options today.
BC: Pick one please. Any other requests? [cut] It’s been a while since I played that guitar, so....
Snail
BC: Thank you. [cut] Let’s go.
A Hard Day’s Night
BC: [unintelligible word] the worst, heh heh heh heh. I think we’re better off sticking to the one I know, yeah. Any other requests?
Guy in crowd: Disarm.
BC: Disarm? [cut]
Let Me Give the World to You
BC: [cuts in] After this week, I don’t know if there’s gonna be an NFL.
Girl in crowd: We could get a singalong to Go, Cubs, Go.
BC: Probably one of the worst songs ever written.
Girl: I know, but we might know the words to it.
BC: The two things I can’t stand about Cub-dom is [sic] when they used to come out to Jump by Van Halen...and I love the song, but that was just such a weird - Jump for baseball? - and uh, and then Go, Cubs, Go. And Steve Goodman - the late, great Chicago songwriter who wrote that song, this great artist - wrote one of my favorite songs, City of New Orleans, if you know that song by Arlo Guthrie. But man, that song is just, that’s a nightmare. And only this city would embrace it as some sort of...weird - yeah, it’s like, it’s like, it’s a reverse the curse kinda thing, like....
Crush
The Spaniards
Of a Broken Heart (abandoned before lyrics)
BC: Wait. Where’s Allie?
Allie Frost: I’m right here.
BC: You wanna sing it?
Allie: Thank you.
BC: Okay, cool.
Allie: So what do you need? Can I come up there?
BC: Yeah yeah, come on up.
Allie: I just need words.
BC: Yeah yeah. Okay, we’ll try it again.
Of a Broken Heart (with Allie Frost)
BC: Alright! (to Allie) Thank you. (to crowd) Thank you very much for coming. You guys are awesome, thank you.
