Geek U.S.A.
(BC alt last line: I fuckin’ hate the U.S.A.!)
Quiet
BC: Thanks. Hi, how are you? I am –- I am fine. James, how are you? D’arcy’s okay too.
Iha: Alright, New York City.
BC: Welcome to the rock show.
Today
BC: What?
Disarm
> I Am One
(BC midsong: All I ever wanted was everything. All I ever wanted was everything. All I ever wanted was everything and all I got was shit! What you want is what you’ll get and that’s nothing. What you want is what you’ll get and that’s nothing! And nothing can be taken from me that hasn’t already been taken. Nothing can be taken from me that hasn’t already been taken! Yeah. So gimme some more of that nothing. And gimme some more of that. Nothing can be taken from me that hasn’t already been taken. Nothing can be said about me that hasn’t already been said! Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme some more of that nothing! Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing! Nothing! Nothing! Nothing! There’s nothing!)
Rocket
BC: Thanks. What’s the matter, you're not having any fun? This isn't jaded New York, is it? No, this isn't jaded New York?, okay. I'll believe you if you tell me. Everyone's afraid of coming to New York but I'm not afraid of coming to New York.
Drown
> Hummer
Bury Me
Iha: Well, I’d like to thank the stupid fuck who hit me in the face with a shoe. Thank you, heh heh. And now, for our next song.
BC: Shh!
Soma
> Siva
(BC during pause before final chorus: Hey, why don’t you pussies who keep throwing shoes throw ‘em now while I can see you. Come on, now let’s see if there’s some fuckin’ shoes. Everyone’s a man when they’re in the dark, you know what I’m saying?
Iha: They want to amaze us.
D’arcy: Yeah, all these men in the dark throwing women’s shoes, what the hell is this?
Iha: I wasn’t hit by a women’s shoe, I was hit by a large hiking shoe. It was like size 13D. The only thing that saved me was the mic. God bless rock and roll, I just wasn’t killed. Come to think of it, I should be happy I wasn’t killed ‘cause I had a microphone in front of me. But whoever threw the shoe at my face, I’d just like to say...(screaming) I’m gonna rip your eyes out and piss in your skull, you fuck!
D’arcy: He really wants to thank you for fixing his nose.
Iha: I know, you don’t want to hear about it, we’ll rock, don’t worry.
(45 seconds of silence, then the band finishes the song)
Cherub Rock
BC: Bless you!
[encore break]
BC: Hello, hello, hello. So, are you still with us or what? (crowd cheers) Look, it's hard to tell. Listen, I'm serious, it's hard to tell, so...we don’t wanna bore you or anything. Really not the purpose, but....
Mayonaise
BC: Thank you.
[encore break]
Silverfuck / Over the Rainbow (with Suffer tease in intro)
BC: Thanks.
