Notes:
-2:08:34
-Skips in Wake Up Bomb
-MS seems to read a fan's sign after Begin The Begin "Hey Michael, Mills and Buck it's so good to see you again, hope the tour is going well. With love Milt and...dude? Bood. Savannah, Georgia".
-After Suspicion MS recognizes a fan who's been attending a lot of shows & who apparently always has a hand puppet of Ernie from Sesame Street. It's an entertaining exchange and includes MS saying "What do you mean you can't hear me? I have a huge PA system!" and "What the hell you doing here in the middle of a cow field?"
-Before The Apologist, MS "This song is really remarkably popular with Latin Men and none of us have idea why, but let's see how it goes over here".
-Before LAHTLI MS "We're going to do the song that is older than the song that's older then time".
-MS before Great Beyond "I think we've played this 17 times". MM "That sounds correct".
-MS takes a bathroom break before AMMB
-Pretty Persuasion is introduced as older then the song that's older than the song that's older then time
-After Hope, MS notes the Germans clap in time better than they do anywhere else, then has to stop I'm Not Over You because they are going too fast, leading to shenanigans, including a line of I Got You Babe. MS states he was overcome by the spirit of Cher.
-So Central gets one of 6 outings on Up Tour, apparently by persistent request MS "You yelled so hard and so loud through this entire set. Even louder than me, and that's pretty loud. And we're going to play your song for you. Even though we didn't plan on it but it's a great song so why not." After the song, MS polls the audience as to whether they should play one or two more songs.
-Before ITEOTWAWKI MS trades hats with an audience member for a bit then realizes Apex Twin was playing Berlin this day and gives the 'back of the venue' story. At the end of that story "Can you make sure it gets back to the girl...with the kalaidescope eyes. Is that a...Beattles song? Did I just quote the the Beatles? [MM or PB] Yes you did. [MS] Oh my god I am getting the hell out of Germany! Good night".
