Notes:
-Before Monty, MS "We're going to play a song now that really doesn't have much meaning at all.  It's just a collection, like a string of every blues cliche ever written kind of strung together with Montgomery Clift as the protagonist".
-Before the next song, King Of Comedy, MS "In the 1960's there was a popular television figure that was later in the film and cinema in the 1960's by the name of James Bond, 007.  This next song was the original title song of the first James Bond movie.  It was revitalized y R.E.M. and we changed the structure a little bit but here it is".  The entire band stops for MS to solo the line "I am not accomodating" then resumes the finish of the song.  I do not recall them playing it this way again.
-After Inside out MS "I really hate Heineken, can I have another kind of beer please?  Ok, so through the ages I've been...can you understand what I'm saying?  Yeah?  Cool.  Well you'll be the first...today".  He fumbles around for a bit then admits "I'm just waiting for my beer" then gives up "Ok fuck it here's another song".
-Before Revolution MS makes a small production about taking off his shirt then notes Revoltion is only about 6 months old.
-Standard girl song intro to Tongue
-Before HAWA MS "This next song is aout being an alcoholic and being in love and realizing without the bottle you can't (?) the person, and the song after that is my favorite song in the whole world".
-Standard Andy Kaufman intro to MOTM
-Country Feedack solo 1:03
-Before LMR MS jokes "Here is a new song we've never played before".
-Before ITEOTWAWKI MS "Hey Bill, I got a question for you. [BB] What is it?  [MS]  Let's suppose the world was such a fucked up place that they had to write a song that would played over the the last few minutes if there was a big neuton bomb that the US had sent to come over, to fly over the, come through the ozone layer and land somewhere in Europe, big 'ol neutron bomb, wipeout everybody in the world, what kind of song do you think they would play.  Would it be fast or slow?  [BB]  I don't know, how do you thik it would start?  [MS] I think it would start with a big drum beat that sounds something like this!"

Grade: B
