Suspiria Intro
Where Boys Fear to Tread
Hummer
BC: Thank you!
Bring the Light
BC: Thank you very much, thank you.
Neverlost
> Lucky 13
Tonight, Tonight
Tarantula
Starz
> Zero
BC: Thank you very much, thank you. Welcome to our concert, we hope you’re having a good time. You know America thinks party and good time, they think Smashing Pumpkins. ‘69 Camaro, big bong, Pumpkins. Open road. Anyway, uh, to all of you that are here, thank you very much, we’re very honored that you’re here tonight, we appreciate it.
Starla
Thirty-three (Billy 12-string w/Lisa)
BC: Like to introduce my partner in crime, Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin. Jimmy just said the Red Sox are winning like, 400 to 3. They’re not winning, Jimmy? 4 to 2, Cleveland. Do I have to say it again? Don’t kill the messenger. I am a living example of killing the messenger.
Guy in crowd: That’s life!
BC: Heh heh. Is everybody alright?
Perfect (Billy acoustic w/Jimmy tambourine)
To Sheila (acoustic)
Set the Ray to Jerry
Today
> Bullet with Butterfly Wings
BC: Thank you. Today I was out in the Boston Common. I was. It’s sad when Ben Franklin hits you up for tickets. Heh. It’s like, it’s been 300 years, let’s move on. Right? Let’s move on. And now, I said - I can’t even do math! (laughing very hard through next sentence) 200 years. Whatever, it’s been too long. 231 years, thank you. What’s the difference? Anyway, I was sitting on a park bench - this is a true story, I’m not, it’s not one of my funny jokes. I was sitting on a park bench and I met a couple fans who came down from Quebec. (light booing) Are you booing Quebec? (louder booing) Hey, you can boo Quebec all you want, they got a lot less fuckin’ guns than we do, I can tell you. Heh heh, at least I can walk around in Quebec and know that I’m not gonna get shot like I am in America. But then again, you have to deal with Canadians, so it’s a - it’s a bit of a wash. Haha! I just bury whole countries, vroom vroom. Anyway, so uh, they never got to see the band back in the old days, they’ve been waiting for a long time, so I appreciate them coming down here to see the show. I appreciate that many of you are giving up your chance to watch the Red Sox. So we uh, we dedicate this song to you for being here with us tonight, it’s called That’s the Way My Love Is.
That’s the Way
Superchrist
Heavy Metal Machine / White Rabbit / White Horse
> On the Road Again
> I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll
(BC at beginning: Good people of Boston, let’s put your hands together one last time. Let’s get a rock and roll party going in here. We’d like you to sing along to this last song. We know that you know the words. Don’t pretend you don’t. (singing) I love rock and roll...)
(BC over big ending: Thank you very much, thank you! Thank you.)
[encore break]

(BC right before end: God bless you very much, thank you.)
[bow]
BC: Thank you very much for a really, really good concert, thank you, we appreciate it, appreciate it a lot. Hopefully this - this wonderful concert will lift your spirits and take away the sting of the loss to Cleveland. 4 to 2, 4 to 2, that’s uh, I’m just the messenger. God bless you, thank you.
