Notes:
-MS before Pilgrimage "If only to sleep in our on beds and bathe in our own bath tubs it's really great to be here. But I can think of several thousand reasons beyond that and most of them are standing right in front of me". After the song he notes "Parkings a bitch huh? Even I had trouble".
-Before Electrolite, MS replaces his "Here's another song" with "Here we are at the dawning of a new song".
-Before Everybody Hurts MS "Ok, we got all the hard ones out of the way, so this is our celebration for returning home [something pops]".
-MS offers up his imagery for Daysleeper.
-Standard intro to The Apologist, Great Beyond.
-Find The River is sent out to "Our friend Bill". The crowd chants Bill's nae for a bit when he makes his appearance. MM "How the fuck do we play a song after that?" MS sends out a second song to "Our friend Bill" which is AMMB.
-MS confesses to ripping off andy Kaufman before MOTM
-After Tongue MS promotes the Georgia Campaign For Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention.
