BC: Thank you very much, we’re just putting some of our crap onstage, we’ll be a second. ... Thank you very much for coming tonight, thank you. How y’all feeling out there, you alright? Yeaah. Alanis Morissette will be on in just a minute but before she gets on, uh.... She’s good, she’s good. Then Radiohead’ll be on after that. Yeah, they’re real good. Then the Beatles, they’ll be out after that. Like to take a moment to introduce this great band I get to play in. On guitar, Mr. Jeff Schroeder. Gettin’ it done, people, gettin’ it done. On the bass guitar, Mrs. Ginger Pooley. Gettin’ it done every night. Every night. On the keyboards, Mistress Lisa. She’s available for all your domination needs after the show. Seriously. And on the drums, the one, the only, Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin.
Once Upon a Time (acoustic)
Again, Again, Again (acoustic)
BC: Thank you very much, thank you. ... It’s always nice to have people join the sad party. A little rolling sad party.
The Rose March (acoustic)
BC: Thank you. There you are, I see you. You don’t see me but I see you. Heh heh. Yeah, 4:20, he's got one of those shirts, Jeff. You’re one of the lucky few, one of the lucky few. Collector’s edition. Well, it’s now time for the second half of the show. It’s almost over. Yeah. Rock and roll has a price. You’re lookin’ at it. Ha ha ha. Hey, but thanks a lot, it’s nice to see your faces. I’m gonna let you in on a little secret, a little SP secret, SP secret. Sometimes when we play, the audiences tend to be a little older, like 30 plus-ish, because they’re still in the '90s. It’s all good. It’s all good in the hood. When we play for a little older audiences, they get a little confused by what we’re doing. They don’t really understand my trip, you know? But when we play in front of a younger audience like tonight, they’re rockin’. There’s hope! There’s hope. Hey, old guy, the one flickin’ me off. I see you. It’s all good, brother, it’s all good, it’s all good. All I’m tryin’ to say is, we could sit up here and play a bunch of old songs and...(crowd cheers)...yeah, they’re good. I guess, heh heh, I guess that’s what you want us to do. See, if you knew me at all, you’d know that’s not a good cheer. Heh heh, this guy understands. Anyway, before we play this old song, yay, cheer...yes. The one I was, the one I was going to dedicate to you, but I’m not again anymore. Uh, you can boo all you want and I’m immune to it at this point. Heh heh. I’ve been booed beyond booed. Um, heh heh heh. I just wanna say, I just wanna say, I just wanna say, we love you and we live in the present, yes. Yes. And for those of you in doubt, we’re back, we’re insane...crazy! Wacky fun. All I’m trying to say is, we’ll be kicking your ass for a few more years here. So this is my gift to you.

(BC verse 3 alt lyrics: (singing) In the summertime and the weather is good / You can reach right and shoot yourself in the head / When the weather is fine, you can fuck all you want / And do what you want / In the summertime, you can tell everyone to fuck off)
(BC outro: Alright, everybody all together! Everybody together! Come on! Where am I? Ha ha ha ha! Where the fuck am I? One more time, come on, one more time, everybody together! Where’s your kazoo? We got kazoos, fuck you then. Thank you very much! Thank you! Thank you [unintelligible], thank you!! Heh heh heh. Whoo! I love rock and roll.)
