Notes:

-Before WLP MS notes it was a request and that someone wrote in and requested it 27 times. He adds that they haven't "played it properly since 1991 [the song has been in moderate rotation since the beginning of the NA leg]
-MS mentions going on Anderson Cooper's show to drop Bad Day.
-Before Rockville MS teases MM "Shut the fuck up wait for your introduction".  He adds, tjat he has a bug in his mouth and sends the song out to June & Johnny Cash.
-After Fall On Me MS points out what he thought was the moon coming up but is in fact man made "I was fanklly very disappointed.  I felt like Kizmet from One Small Second.  I'm singing, people are singing along, the moon comes up, Austin, Texas.  He goes on to talk about Robbie Williams briefly before sending LMR out to Conner Oberst and Bright Eyes.
-Find The River goes out to Ben Harper.
-Before SJWTB MS "Every time we've come through Austin we've torn a blue streak through it and every time we've come through Austin it's torn a blue streak through us.  It almost feels like home except it's not in Georgia it's in Texas.  The very best audience that we've had on ths entire North American tour so far was last night in Houston and I was more shocked than anybody.  I have to say I didn't expect it.  I had a shitty day and a sucky night but it got really good by the end of the set.  It was really fun and really cool".
-Man On The Moon is sent out to Richard Linklater.
