-MS before MSR "Once upon a time there was a terrible President who stood on the grave site of my favorite civil right activist. We wrote a song about it, this is it".
-Before Ignoreland MS notes that Obama accepted the Democratic nomination in the very venue they are playing 2 nights prior.
-Houston is introduced as "about the Bush administration's pathetic response to hurricane Katrina". MS adds he broke his mic stand after the song.
-MS before Electrolite "I used to live in Santa Monica there, it was my second home for about two years. Santa Monica's a really beautiful community. But it was after the earthquake, my apartment was foreclosed by the bank that owned it and they tore it down and put up a parking lot. Anyway this song is about three friends, in a car, going up Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles on a beautiful Friday night, looking down on the City of Angels, wondering how the fuck it all happened like that."
-Before Sweetness zFollows MS polls the crowd as to who has seen them play before. He notes for those who haven't, some of the songs a kind of old. PB uses a new effect during the song and there were a couple mistakes made in the song. MS can be heard talking offf mic after.
-Bad Day was aborted and restarted.
-After band intros, MS notes that Minneapolis holds a special place in their collective hearts.
