Notes:
-After Try Not To Breathe MS apologizes for 'sucking' the ptior night and promises he'll do better this night. He goes on to point out that the show is bieng broadcast live across the world and for the benefit of those listening in gives the details of the location: "A very celebrated cow field north of London".
-Strange Currencies gets the 'nobody wants to be your date' story. Tongue also gets a standard intro. MOTM as well.
-PB puts on a show for the global audience by lighting up Country Feedack with a 1:30 solo.
-MS intros Half A World Away "This is a song about thinking you're in love and then finding out you're just drunk".
-MS's intro to Half A World Away is repeated in an editing error.
