Notes:
-MS states he can't feel his toes from walking around Helsinki or his head from going out last evening.
-Great Beyond has some new keyboard sounds at the end.
-MS notes IWTBW & Final Straw were written betwwen the invasion of Iraq and the last presidential election "which sadly, did not go the way we wanted it to".
-Final Straw has a skip at :08
-TOIL starts out blown out as if taper accidentally adjusted levels, then corrected them about halfway through. The beginning of the song is cut also.
-Before Country Feedback MS "we're changing the set around a little bit because we haven't played here in a long time so we wanted to do someting special for you tonight. This is actually, we're going to play one of our favorite songs ever to perform but we just quit playing it because we played it so much last year that it was annoying. But it's not annoying anymore, it's been a long time". PB solo 2:08. After the song, seeing Star 69 on the setlist seems to take MS by surprise "Star 69...why the hell not".
-After Star 69 MS quizzes SM on what beer he was drinking [MS] Scott what was that weirdly named local beer you were drinking earlier this afternoon? [SM] The beer was called Night Wish. What does it mean? What does Night Wish on a beer mean? I don't get it. You'll have to explain it to me later. [MS] I couldn't taste anything alcoholic today. But I think I did ok tonight. NO MORE VODKA ok? For the rest of the month."
Grade: D
-below average relative to other 04/05 shows, but not terrible.
