(BC over Mike’s intro: How y'all doin' out there?)
> Blank Page
BC: Well, we're runnin' out of time. I know what we'll do!
Bullet with Butterfly Wings
BC: Well, we can't agree what to play anymore, so thanks a lot, goodnight. Heh. Well, this is the HORDE Festival, D'arcy, and you know what that means.
Iha: [2 unintelligible words].
D’arcy: Actually, I have no idea what that means.
Iha: That means - that means we jam!
D’arcy: Oh I know, you know what, my friend over here, her name is Rachel, she just had a birthday and turned six.
Happy Birthday (tease - Mike plays the first line under D'arcy talking)
D'arcy: And she explained to me what it means, she said that people throw things at you because they like you. Well, you guys must like us a lot but uh, it's not appreciated.
Iha: We want you to dance.
D’arcy: Generally, we think that, we think that, we think that people throw at us because you don’t like us, so....
BC: Peace and love, D’arcy, peace and love.
Iha: Don't encourage them.
D’arcy: And that's what we'll continue to think 'cause we're not six anymore and neither are you.
BC: I didn't see anybody throw anything, I don't know what she's talking about. I thought this was all this - all these T-shirts and stuff are part of Blues Traveler's set. Heh heh heh heh. Okay, thanks a lot, nice to see you, hope you have a good night, love to you, god bless you. We're now going to take off in the stratosphere and then we're gonna take off physically, so have a good night.
Transmission / Let's Dance
(BC at 12:16: You know, I gotta start out now. Uh, there’s a reason they see a lot of UFOs here, you know what I’m sayin’? They’re searching...for you! Just remember, in the few remaining years that you have left on this planet before the world blows up due to the alien invasion to uh, go out and buy a copy of our new album Adore on Virgin Records. Please remember to make us your band of the apocalypse, thank you.)
