“Thank you for participating” tape
> Tonight, Tonight
BC: Heil-lo out there.
Iha: Howdy!
BC: Hi, thanks for coming to the concert, we appreciate it very much. You know, I was thinking about this the other day and um - about sharing with you - um, I was in Philadelphia on the Fourth of July and I was walking down the street and this girl came up to me and she said, "You know that Tonight song?" and I said yeah and she said "Don't you think you're kind of ripping yourself off, I mean you had that song Today and then you have that song Tonight."
Iha: Wow, that's heavy.
BC: That’s heavy.
Iha: That’s heavy.
BC: And I said “Well, it's kind of a joke, if you don't get it, you don't get it, it's alright” and she goes "No no, but you're ripping yourself off" and I said "Well, it's a joke." She said "Well, I don't think it's funny." I said "I don't care if you think it's funny or not."
Iha: The name of our next single will be Morning. Good Morning.
BC: With a U.
D’arcy: And then, did you - did you tell her about Tonight Junior?
Today
> Planet of the Apes clip
> Thru the Eyes of Ruby
BC: Thanks a lot.
Thirty-three (acoustic)
Iha: Thank you. How is everybody, okay? We're not boring you, are we? (Billy plays 5 chords quickly) Come on!
BC: Don't force us to play blues.
blues jam (acoustic - Billy plays a blues riff and Iha briefly joins in after talking over it)
(Iha: You know we're from Chicago. You know what I'm talkin’ about, the fuckin’ blues, and we are probably the worst blues guitar players bar none.)
Iha: Sorry, I'm sorry, we'll just continue on with the concert.
Disarm (acoustic)
Circus tape
> Bullet with Butterfly Wings
Fuck You
Porcelina of the Vast Oceans / Beautiful
BC: We decided to do another song here because uh, we're being so boring.
Iha: Well, that was psychedelic.
BC: Usually it’s uh, it’s us who complain about the audience but uh, tonight you should complain about us, thank you for being so great. We weren’t really gonna play this song tonight but um, it seems appropriate under the circumstances. (tuning guitar for a bit) Alright, we’re a little out of tune but nothing abnormal. So we - we send this out to you, thank you so much.
