Zero Interlude Film
(BC: Ladies, gentlemen, friends, lovers, beasts or fowl, welcome to the show. We are the illuminated, the illustrious, the ill-timed knock. (two snare drum hits) Ah yes, we are the fractured, the schisms, the rift and the rabble, the sleepy clown, the atomized downs, the dreams you stopped dreaming oh so long ago. Yes, all colors mixed and marred make up the black, as do all numbers fix up the zero, zed and null. So let’s go back to your beginnings, as I shall go back to mine. It won’t last, it’ll be quick, but then again, that’s why we’re here. No past, no future, no sun. So let’s blow on fading embers, to boast about kings near, forgotten and buried. Tis the end. Tis the end. Tis the end.)
Zero
> The Everlasting Gaze
Stand Inside Your Love
Iha: [tape cuts in] ...thank you so much, we really appreciate you coming out tonight. We appreciate you coming out to the KFC Yum Center. Jack, our bass player, Jack Bates, he ate KFC chicken today in honor of being here. (looking towards Jack’s usual onstage spot) How was it, Jack? Oh, Jesus, you’re over here. (Jack is at Katie’s organ on the other side of the stage for the next song) Two uh, two thumbs up, he’s from England. Um, how you guys doin’, you havin’ a reasonable time?

(Mark McGrath: Well, hello there, neighbors! Are you enjoying the show thus far? Well, good, I am too, even though I’m not real. Now, if I could steal a moment of your time, I’d like to introduce somebody verrry special to you. He’s been a friend and a neighbor to each and every one of you. He’s been the voice you might hear in the stiiill of the night or a night dog straining against the moon. And, in fact, this young man has been with you almost every step along the way on life’s long journey, sighing so ever soft. He’s been a lover, a fighter, but never a cad. A beacon, a searchlight piercing every impenetrable fog. And he’s here, just now, to sing for you, that golden chestnut we like to call Blew Away. So gather round, ‘cause here he is: the one, the only, Mr. Jaaaaames Iha.)

Vaudeville Interlude Film
(Mark McGrath: Well, wowie zowie, papa ooh maow maow! What a wang dang and doodle of a show. And, it ain’t over yet. Now I don’t know about you but this next tune is one of my faaaaaaves. Reminds me of drivin' down the old PCH, high out of my mind on ecstasy and I was singing the chorus of the song you’re about to hear so hard and so on high, that one of my front teeth fell right out! Yup, plain out right there in the dashboard. Wow. That decade was just, just so good, wasn’t it? I mean, here you have young wash masters rising up to start a musical and cultural revolution that was soon co-opted by the machine and driven asunder! Gee golly. But thankfully, what we got in return was just so much better. I mean, let’s face it, who doesn’t want perfection in their stars above? ‘Cause perfect people making perfect, sweet music is, well, it’s just, it’s just what a god wants for all of us! Whoo! Red light, stop, it’s raining. The air is cool and the sky is gray and the year? Well, it’s 1979!)

BC: Heh heh heh heh. Well, we just have one more song.
Iha: It’s a crazy song.
BC: I know it’s only a three hour concert, it’s like, wow, I mean, only three hours. It’s like, you know...I tell my girl, “All night long. Whatever you want, all night long.” That’s how they do it up in the 502. “All night long.”
Iha: Hey, you keep saying 502, is that -
BC: “You get some moonshine.”
Iha: Is that the area code of Louisville? I dunno.
BC: James.
Iha: Yes, yeah.
BC: People don’t use the phone anymore.
Iha: Oh, okay.
BC: They just - they’ve gone back to the cabin in the woods and they’re just in communion with god, they don’t, they don’t - no cell phone here.
