****************************end original text******************************
Notes:
-Disc One 55:25, Disc Two 59:55
-MS begins the show "I forgot to pee".
-Before So Central, MS polls the crowd as to where they are from, notes the humidity is similar to that in Georgia and states that the next 4 songs are the top requests from their website
-Country Feedback solo 1:33
-There is some improv playing before AMMB
-Before SJWTB MS "Did you bring some extra underwear and warm socks for later? No? Peter did. I have about 10 pairs of socks in the dressing room, if you guys want to grab some before and bring them up here before the end of the set I can accomodate at least part of the crowd. Are you going to give me your shirt? Thank you. Can I put this through the dryer before I put it on? Actually you smell pretty good tonight. I'm going to take about 5 minutes, I'll be right back. Well it's not for nothiing that Copenhagen is one of my favorite destinations in the world and I'm really very happy to be here" before sending the song out to an un-named "Great friend and inspiration"
-Before Fall One Me MS asks if it ever stops raining in Denmark When we leave? When we're in Germany it's going to stop raining right? Saturday they're calling for clear weather, bright skies. Terrific. I'm ok with that. This is a song about the rain. I'm realizing tonight we have a lot of weather metaphors in our songs. I think I need to work on that for the next record. I'll see what I can do, we'll get back to you. Hold on...I promised clean socks and this is all that we could come up with in the back. Hold on...I'm just checking to see that my lucky socks are not in here. Well, there's a couple lucky socks, who's really wet? Raise your hand. Oh come on! Give them their socks! Come on security guy, don't be a dork. Oh find a pretty girl, that's right. By the way, two pairs of these you can only buy on sky mail so you have to be on an airplane to buy these socks. I just want you to know that. Special order. All right well call me a media whore but I do what I can you know. We don't have dancing animals like The Flaming Lips, who were tremendous by the way. I'll send this song out to...Idon't know...Sweden. How about that? [boos] Ok and Finland. God do I have to be so fucking democratic every moment of my life? Mike? [MM] Yes. [MS]All right we'll send this out to everyone here."
-Before Daysleeper MS wishes Mark Eugene Wallace and Kai Lechleiter Reidell happy birthday.
-Either MS or MM botches vocals during ITEOTWAWKI
