A Song for a Son
BC: Heh haha. Thank you very kindly, thank you.
Landslide (Billy/Jeff acoustic)
BC: Thank you very much, thank you. As you know, many of that--uh, start again. As you know, that last song was written by Stevie Nicks, such a beautiful song. One of our great songwriters, Stevie. Uh, this next song I actually wrote, heh heh. America’s most wanted: me. I think this is one of my songs you actually like, best as I can tell. I wrote this song, uh...I wrote this song sitting on the edge of my bed in about 1992, I think. (to Jimmy) Yes, you were there, I remember, heh heh. You were there. Heh heh. You were at the party the night before. Ironically, this song was once banned by the BBC. They are the mother country, right?--I mean.... I’d like to tell you this song is about space aliens but it’s not.

Age of Innocence
(BC before bridge: Boston, Boston, Beantown. Boston. Are you out there?! Yeaaaah. Yes. One last yes. Yes. I wanna ask one thing of you now, one thing, one simple thing. Can everybody put their hands together like this? That’s it. (sings) Before the rites of spring...)
(BC immediately after lyrics finish: Thank you very much, thank you!)
[encore break]
That’s the Way (acoustic)
BC: Thank you very much, thank you. Thank you, Boston, thank you for two nights. Those of you, those of you who don’t like psychedelic rock should leave now. Head for your cars now. If you don’t like psychedelic rock, now is the time to leave. If you do like psychedelic rock, now is the time to take your drugs that are still in your pocket. Heh heh. Goodbye.
