Iha: Hello. We hope it is not too echoey, echoey here.
BC: Echoey, echoey, it's very ec ec ec echoey in here but.... But for those of you on LSD, I'm sure it's a nice added touch. We know who you are so you can stop smiling now.

Enter Sandman (tease - Billy plays 5 notes of the riff)
Iha: I think they'd rather hear Metallica songs.

BC: Thank you, thank you, thank you thank you. We'd like to thank our opening band for such a lovely set and um.... The songs were slightly sophomoric but the melodies were good.
Iha: Yes, yes, they need to grow a bit. They need to grow up.
BC: Baah baah. I just wonder what they're saying backstage.
Guy in crowd: [unintelligible]!
Iha: What's that? Play those parts?
BC: Heh, no, don't go there.
Iha: He's got a beard though, I gotta.
To Forgive
Bullet with Butterfly Wings
Muzzle
BC: Thanks a lot, so much. Last time we were in San Francisco, it was Lollapalooza and it was mighty fucking lame if I remember so uh...heh, thanks for making our return back to San Francisco so welcome. We were kinda - we were kinda worried you didn't like us here anymore after that horrible Lollapalooza shit bullshit show, uh, what - what was it? It was a carnival, yeah.
Iha: Yes, yes. (British accent) There goes a rose, never to hit the stage, beautiful but dead. (normal) Now, just don't throw 'em back at us.
BC: Well, you, now you - now you're gonna get one right between the eyes, you know.

D’arcy: Thank you.
[encore break]

Guy in crowd: [unintelligible word]!
Iha: What? God, you know, every time I start this story, it's one of you people that fucking messes - eh, I can't! (knocks mic stand over and jumps up and down next to it)
BC: Alright, now get back on your side of the stage.
Iha: Thank you. Thank you, Valjean, I just lost my mind for a minute.
BC: What? (2 gibberish noises)
Iha: I'm not in the monitors anymore.
BC: You're not in the monitors anymore?
Iha: I'm out in the house though.
BC: You're in the house, they can hear you.
Iha: I can't hear me.
BC: You can't hear you but they can hear you.
Iha: That's right, whoa, there I am, I'm back. I'd just like to thank Valjean, I’m sorry, I just lost my mind for a minute.
1979
BC: (Elvis style) Thank you very much. (normal) That was a song that we wrote for Michael Jackson but he rejected it and so I’m....
D’arcy: Yep. He couldn't moonwalk to it.
BC: You know you get the feeling, if he'd gone ahead and done that song, they'd still be together.
D’arcy: I don't know, he could only do the robot to that song, he couldn't moonwalk.
BC: What do you think, can you deal with a little cyber metal or what? Show 'em the robot. Give 'em a little taste of the robot. That's more like a animatron than a robot. (crowd yelling) Huh? Tell a joke? I dunno, [two unintelligible words] what?
Iha: You think this is a fuckin' joke?! Well, it's not!
X.Y.U.
> Paranoid (tease - Billy plays riff for about 10 seconds)
[encore break]
Iha: Thank you. Thank you. Let's have a moment of contemplation and silence. Let's just think about things. And then let's rock, heh.
BC: Have you looked at the setlist, I don't believe we're gonna be rocking.
Iha: Ohhhh, I'm sorry, well, after that we'll rock, I'm sorry. Let's have a moment of just grooviness, this is San Francisco. Heh heh. Hey man, that's groovy!
BC: You always said the Bay Area was your favorite.
Iha: Yes, that's uh, true. Wait, I think I see a man with an afro, that's fuckin' cool.
BC: I believe we have a lighting director with a afro too, you can uh, stand up Laz, let everyone see you.
Iha: Laz, Laz Upton. And he's English, for god's sake.
BC: He's the man burning your retinas right through. Um, we'll stop talking now and we'll play.
