2012 Intro
> Quasar
> Panopticon
The Celestials
Violet Rays
BC: Thank you very much, thank you.
My Love Is Winter
One Diamond, One Heart
Pinwheels
BC: Thank you. Thank you so much, thank you. Well, this is the best place to start our tour, no? Jeff, believe it or not, people actually like music in Austin. Alright, as some of you know, we’re playing the album to start the show and then I think we play a few, what, classics, they call them? Dusties. Dusties. So this is the title track from the Oceania album, it’s called...Oceania.
Oceania
Pale Horse
The Chimera
Glissandra
> Inkless
Wildflower
Space Oddity
> X.Y.U.
Disarm
Tonite Reprise
> Tonight, Tonight
Bullet with Butterfly Wings
BC: Thank you so very much, thank you, thank you. Cheers. Jeff? Jeff, have you ever been to the South by Southwest conference?
Jeff: Oh yeah, oh yeah, [unintelligible]. Get fucked up all the way to [unintelligible].
BC: I was down here around my birthday, March.... Jeff, I’ve never seen so many weird handlebar mustaches and shit in my fuckin’ life. I saw girls with tattoos in places I didn’t know you could have tattoos.
Jeff: Oh, I know.
BC: But Jeff, technology’s the future, did you know that?
(Jeff and Billy laugh)
BC: Hey, it’s nice to be back here, thank you, thank you. (sound effect of Jeff saying “Boi-yoing-yoing”) Wanna go into Welcome to the Jungle, we’ll just go right to that? It’s a great place to play, we’re happy to be here with you tonight.
Welcome to the Jungle (tease)
BC: Now...I don’t know if you know this, but I’ve gone out with a couple women in my life.
Nicole: No.
BC: You didn’t know that?
Nicole: [unintelligible]
BC: I’ve had a few girlfriends, married once.
Nicole: I’ve heard many stories.
BC: I’ve had a few famous girls and then, like, a lot of not-so-famous girls.
Nicole: I think you should stay away from the famous.
BC: And you know, I’ve been doing this for a while, so sometimes you look out at the beautiful women in the crowd--I don’t know if you’ve ever done that.
Nicole: [unintelligible] supposed to learn.
BC: You check out the beautiful women in the crowd and it kinda motivates you, doesn’t it? (to Mike) Cowbell. Cowbell, kid, that’s where you hit the cowbell. That’s where the Catman hits the cowbell. You got no cowbell, right? (“Boi-yoing-yoing” sound effect) Hahahahaha. Anyway, but tonight I’m drawing a special motivation from a different source. No, it’s not...
Nicole: Is it human?
BC: ...Jesus up above, no, it’s not...Buddha. It’s the big man right there. I gotta give it to you, big man. (sound effect of Nicole saying “Boi-yoing-yoing”) It takes a lot of energy to be a big man and I appreciate you standing in there and hanging out with us, thank you, big man.
Nicole: We’re having fun.
BC: Everything is bigger in Texas. The men are bigger. The women...grand. And the orgasms, endless. That’s what I heard. Hahaha.
Jeff: Is that true, Mike?
BC: Was that you hitting the cowbell, Mike? Ladies and gentlemen, Nicole Fiorentino.
Nicole: Hello.
(Jeff starts playing something and Mike joins in)
BC: Jeff Schroeder. Mr. Michael Byrne.
Nicole: It’s so hot up here.
(Jeff and Mike stop)
BC: What are we, a jam band now?
Jeff: Nah, just hangin’ out in Texas.
BC: You wanna go hang out at Bonnaroo and...have sex with some hairy legged girls, what do you wanna do? They don’t shave at Bonnaroo, I heard.
Jeff: Play some fuckin’ blues, man.
BC: You wanna play some blues? Stevie Ray style?
Pride and Joy (tease - entire band jams for a minute)
(Nicole: Oh-wee.)
BC: God bless you, Stevie Ray. You know all this talk’s got me in a loving mood. Haha. Transition time. This song, I know you loved this album when it came out, it was called Machina, I know you all went and bought it. Actually, all the record sales were in Texas ‘cause nobody bought it anywhere else.
Nicole: [unintelligible but sounds like “I know” or “oh no”]
BC: You were like two when that album came out.
Nicole: No, like three.
BC: You were like a little kid. Anyway, this is a song called Stand Inside Your Love.
Stand Inside Your Love
Zero
> Ava Adore
> Cherub Rock
[encore break]
BC: Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen...we’d like to bring up a very special guest. From one of the greatest bands I’ve ever seen and had the privilege of knowing, from the Frogs, Mr. Jimmy Flemion.
Jeepster (with Jimmy Flemion)
BC: Alright. How many people out in the crowd know the Frogs?
(Jeff is noodling with the Jeepster riff)
BC: You ready?
Nicole: Jeff wants to play the song again. Jeff wants to play it again.
BC: Are you good? Are you in the right key? Recently, few months back, we lost our brother Dennis from the Frogs...and uh, we’d like to dedicate this song to Dennis. Dennis was a genius in his own right, one of the great people I’ve ever known, so if you get a chance, you don’t know the Frogs, check out the Frogs music. It’s not an accident that Eddie Vedder, Kurt Cobain, Evan Dando and myself were all big fans of the Frogs, one of the greatest bands...and really represents what musical purity’s about. So this one’s for Dennis, okay, and for you, thank you. And feel free to sing along ‘cause I, heh, I’m still re-learning the lyrics for the seven hundredth....
Thirty-three (with Jimmy Flemion)
(BC over very end: Jimmy Flemion, everybody.)
Gossamer
> The Dream Machine
BC: Yeah. Okay, that should be the end of the show. We got one more song, alright?
Mayonaise
BC: God bless you for a great night, thank you everybody, thank you Austin, god bless you.
