BC: Thank you very much.
A Song for a Son
> Today
Eye
> Bullet with Butterfly Wings
United States / Star Spangled Banner / Moby Dick
BC: Thank you very much, thank you. Like to play uh, like to play a new song for you. A song that’s not yet released, we just started playing a few days ago. Thank you. This song called Spangled.
Spangled
> My Love Is Winter
BC: Thank you, thank you so much. That’s this crazy thing called new music. Yeah, there’s a thing called new music. Yeah. Yeah, new music. Know it’s hard to believe, right? New music, alright. So crazy, new music. Heh. How y’all doing, you okay? I see some guys in the back with beards, they’re not sure yet. They’re still not sure--oh, there you are, I didn’t mean beers, I meant beards. Well, if you’re drinking beer, you probably have a beard so it goes without saying. Like to introduce the band to you. Nicole Fiorentino on ze bass. On the drums, Samurai Mike Byrne. On the guitar, Jeff Schroeder. Jesus Christ. Your personal lord and savior, Jesus Christ. Or if you’re a Muslim.... Heh. Anyway. Nice to be back here in Seattle. Any town that has a massive cock--cock for a um, a monument...
Nicole: A massive what? Excuse me?
BC: You know, when you think Seattle, you think of the massive cock.
Nicole: There are ladies present, Billy Corgan.
BC: It’s a bas--massive needle, um, stretching into the sky. ... Pure alcohol. I’m so--I’m so wasted, I don’t even know if I can play this next song. I’m so fucked up, let me see if I can play one of my hits.
Celebrity Skin (tease - first 6 notes)
BC: Oh no, that’s not it. Wow, I’m properly fucked up on that one. Yeah. I can play a few more of my hits, heh heh heh. Heh. Yeah, whatever. Heh heh heh. Heh heh heh. Oh, I make myself laugh, it feels so good. Feels so good. As you can tell, I’ve had a lot of plastic surgery too. These aren’t even my lips. This is like my fourth nose job. What I’ll do to stay young. Oh, you didn’t think that was funny, huh? Haha. Obviously a plastic surgery loving crowd. Heh, show us your tits, somebody said. That’s edgy, right, when you show your tits, right? Is that alternative? I’m not sure what’s alternative anymore. What’s alternative, I don’t--hahaha. I was at the Experience Museum and there was a big plaque, “Grunge started in Seattle.” I didn’t know that.
Purple Haze (tease - Jeff quietly plays first 4 notes)
BC: Heh heh. Heh heh heh heh. Somebody said “we’re sorry,” heh heh heh. Oh, actually I would like to say, uh, thank you to Sub Pop for uh--(crowd cheers)--yeah.... For bringing a lot of great music out and uh, they put out a single of ours, Tristessa. Not a bad song. Like to thank those guys and, uh....
Guy in crowd: Start fucking playing!
BC: Huh, huh? Sorry. I don’t speak whatever you’re speaking. Well, we’re at the tail end of the show, we hope you’ve had a good time, we hope you enjoy the rest of the show. I’ll go back to being surly and depressed because that’s what works for the concerts. I’ll go back to being tortured and hopefully you enjoy these songs--one.
Cherub Rock
> That’s the Way
Tonight, Tonight
Stand Inside Your Love
> Tarantula
(BC over big rock ending: Thank you very much everybody, thank you, thank you.)
[encore break]
Zero
BC: Thank you very much, thank you Seattle. Like to dedicate this last song to the Seattle SuperSonics. Who lost to my Chicago Bulls in the ‘96, uh.... The Reign Man! Come on, Gary Payton, come on. Frank Brickowski. Anyway, like to play one more song. This is our single, it’s called Freak, it’s all about you. ‘Cause you’re freaks. I’m just kidding, I’m the freak, you’re normal. Think about that for a while.
Freak
(BC over big rock ending: Thank you very much, thank you so much.)
