Notes:
-Before Animal, MS "We spent the last 8 months in Vancouver, British Columbia writing and recording a couple records worth of songs. We're going to do a new song for you now".
-Before Bad Day MS "God grant me Chris Martin's falsetto for the next song. I'll take the teeth too. Very nice set of teeth". After the song "Well I'm not sure that dedication came out quite the way I intended it". He goes on to send out Finest Worksong to Coldplay.
-Before WTFK? MS responds to an apparent request "I would love to play that song tonight. If we have time, we'll do it." After the song MS asks PB to name the the bands that played Werchter in 1985, their first time: MS "Hey Peter? All right we've been here five times. First time 1984. Who else played? {PB] The Ramones, Lloyd Cole, U2...The Ramones opened for us, god that was awful. [MS] Did everyone understand? We were here in 1984 [PB] Five. 1985. [MS] 1985. Sorry. [PB] At 12:30 in the afternoon [MS] 12:30. And The Ramones played. And they were Mike's favorite band when he was 17 years old. [MM] And when I was 25 years old, and when I was 35 years old.
-Alter AMMB MS continues reminiscing "Peter the second time we played Werchter, the second time, 1980...Low Reed performed, Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds performed. We were pretty far down on the bill. We were up from the time before, that's for sure. Jesus Christ I still haven't gotten my teeth fixed". He goes on to send out the song to the "beautiful & mysterious" Mr. Nick Cave and the "beautiful & even more mysterious" Mr. Lou Reed.
-After Electrolite "Mike set it straight. '85, '89 [MS & MM] '95, '99 [MM] 2003. [MS] right this fucking moment we are here. So I just want...because I started on this thread I want to get it out of the way. We can move on with the show. '89, '95, Jeff Buckley, Polly Jean Harvey, The Cure and Mr. Peter Buck Mr. Mike Mills, and Mr. Michael Stipe and a few more. 1999, anybody? Placebo. Who else? The biggest rainstorm in the history of Belgium. Did you get wet? Are you wet tonight? Do you want to be? I mean well that's complicated we're not going to go there. I only have so many powers here". He goes on to send the song out "to our great friend Gigi".
-MS goes over the bill for the 2003 version of Werchter then suggests the audience "Kiss the person next to you a gauche, kiss the person next to you a droit, kiss the person in front of you (?)
-Sounds as if someone got on stage and said something in French on mic
