* - cuts right after the music is done. My batteries were running low - don't
know why, they were new. ANyway, I had to swap them out. Lucky I caught it
when I did. That's why there is no crowd cheering when the song is
done.

-After HST MS notes he is very 'spitty' tonight and apologies to Bob for that. He adds that he seems to have more saliva hen he's in the midwest.
-Before The Outsiders MS notes A Tribe Called Quest is also playing that night at the same time or he would have had Tip on stage for the song.
-MS notes he has been riting music ith Mike & Peter for more than half his life and epands on his usual intro to IWTBW adding "I learned my lesson after Reckoning" not to write autobiographically.
-Before Rockville MM "Well if I'm standing up here it means one of two things: either Michael's quit the band or I'm going to sing a song". He sends the song out to Mary and Jeanette.
-MS asks for the crod to echo him when he says 'sing' again.
-MS gives the mic to a fan for a line of Sitting Still, the fan nails it.
-Before Sweetness Follows MS references an inspring soundcheck earlier that day attended by guests from XRT and at least one peson who begged their way in (me). He adds that they haven't perormed SF in about to years.
-My story: I arrived in Chicago at about 10 AM for the show. I'd be staying with trading icon Brett Lowman but he was working and couldn;t get downtown until closer to the show. I decided to go down to the venue anyway and was surprised to see people lining up. I asked someone in line what was happening and he told me about the radio contest winners being invited to soundheck. After they had all gone in, with suitcase still in tow, I approached the man holding the list "I came all the way from Kansas, any chance you would let me in?" He looked me over and said yes. There was also a meet & greet after with photos and autographs for everyone.
SP-CMC-2 Grade: B
