Notes:

-Before Drive MS refuses a Becks "Someone get me a good Irish beer up here". He then tosses something into the crowd (?) "Have some DNA. Populate the earth with our chidden".
-Before Great Beyond MS "All right we're going to need your help on this one. We're tying to issue forth from the beautiful clouds above us a man who stood like giants on the shoulders of mere humans".
-Before Strange Currencies MS notes he's been watching rugby all day "Nice uniforms. They're really tight". He goes on "We're really proud to be the last band of the 20th century to put up an actual website. Because it just took so fucking long to go anywhere for a while there. I tell you from 1991 to 1993 it sucked. But now with my cute little computer I can do just about anything I want. As long as it's legal. And it is. Anyway we've been asking people at different shows, they can write in for requests. So the next two songs are requests. The second one is my request because I really like it anf you've never heard it before. But the first song is a request from a couple who traveled here from Wales. Is that you right there? Well this is your song so take off the sunglasses. And just on a personal note I'd like to say that I'm singing the middle 8 of this song out to the man who inspired it. He's with us--he's not Jack White, no. He's inspired very little yet. But we're still giving him a chance. I happen to like his music I'm just not caught in it yet. Give me time. This song goes out to U2, the middle 8 goes out to Michael Hutchence". After the song he notes he chose his shirt to please his friend Sharon. It is an Athens band called Flash to Bang Time. He goes on to pronounce his love for Dublin and Vancouver, Canada and dubs Vancouver "Dublin's sister city of the north".
-Have You Ever See The Rain is a snippet MS sings solo and follows up with "That was your weather report".
-Before Fall On Me MS says hello to a few people he identifies by what they are doing.
-Before SJWTB MS "This next song was in fact written in Belkey(?) County Dublin, after a long train ride through County Cork and back again for the weekend It is a tremendous honor to be back here with all of you and all of our friends and all of our family who traveled so far. Our families had a choice of anywhere in Europe for six weeks. Any airport they could fly into and guess where they all chose to come?"
-Before RFE MS notes it was a request "Because it was the first song we played in Dublin in 1984". Fact-checking appears to validate this statement as RFE kicked off R.E.M.'s 1984-12-04 set
