Notes:
-After Drive the is an extended here & now thing.
-After Fall On Me MS notes he threw his sunglasses over his shoulder and they landed where he intended for the first time.
-Before Bad Day MS "Well Here we are, under the stars and Mars and all that".
-Before TOIL MM is summoned by MS "Hey Mike, we're going to do this on acoustic". While everyone gets ready "sometimes you do outdoor shows and I was watching Wilco and there was all these moths and bugs flying around, going in their eyes and going in their wouth and stuff and I thought I better make sure I'm good tonight in case a moth goes in my mouth and I have to cough or something on mic. But then there are other nights where you are super aware that every time you hit a hard consanant all the spit comes flying out into the spotlight. And especially if you're on a jumbotron everybody can see you spitting all over the place. And that's just downright embarrasing. You don't mind? You're in the front row. I might have a world class arc of spit there". He goes on "We're going to do this one a little different" and it is mostly MS and MM on keys, with PB back in the mix a bit (except for his solo).
-Before Rockville, MS debates out loud when the song was last played, settling on 1989. MM adds "This song is for Bones and June". After the song MS "Mike, I swear to god I was going for it in the verse there but I heard June Carter Cash say 'If you can't go there, don't try' so I did ok, these people liked it. I don't know when we turned into a Sunday afternoon revue but that's what it feels like right this second".
-Standard intro to LMR
-Before Welcome To The Occupation MS relays a poigniant request form "A fellow Peter spoke to, a guy from El Salvador who said that this song is his county's national anthem and has been for ten years. And so tonight we dedicate it to him and his country". After the song MS admits to over dressing "I really thought it would be cold tonight, I'm sweating like a pig. We did a song earlier, I meant to send it out to The Bridge School People and Neil Young because he's really good. But we played ok at that show, the second show was really much better than the first one. I heard the tapes. I never listen to live tapes, it's depressing".
-Country Feedback solo 1:53. After the song MS "We used to talk about the people who come and see us. I always get the poets, who shout my name in the quiet parts [Michael!] like that. And they don't mind if I spit on them, which I never understood. Mike got the girls. Always. [MM] What ?!? [MS] All right you got a couple guys too but I got most of them. And Peter always got, and I say this with all the love in my heart, Peter always got what we call the guitar queers. Those are guys usually who look like Moby. By the way, if you ever see me on the street, don't mistake me for Moby, all right? He's much shorter than I am. He's a very handsome man. So Peter always got the guitar queers and I never understood that until Television, the band Television came back together and they performed a show in Athens, Georgia and I'm a huge fav since I was 15 years old, 16 years old and I went to see Television. I'd never seen them perform live. Marquee Moon, the greatest record made since Horses. About 3/4 of the way through the show I realized that I was standing in front of Tom Verlaine, watching his fingers move. I had become a guitar queer! I couldn't believe it."
-Before Permanent Vacation MS sends the song out to Wilco and "Someone on the internet is going to refute this but we have not played this song in the United States since 1981".
