-Before MSW MS "We're going to do three songs tonight that are my favorite of the new songs. This is the first of them. The first two I love because they're brilliantly written, especially lyrics, and number three I love because it's really easy to sing and that will be in the encore. But until then this song is about our current President, George W. Bush and what a moron he is".
-Before Ignoreland "This song is about the military-industrial complex and what a boner it is"
-Before Just A Touch MS notes that they will be playing two old song "but only the second one has lyrics" He admits after JAT that he was joking.
-Before Hollow Man MS notes it is the second of the new songs he referred to earlier and had said tht it was vaguely autobiographic before but he has changed his mind.
-PB drops a 1:43 solo to close out SJWTB and in so doing makes an ok song incredible.
-MS notes that Walk Unafraid has become a queer anthem and he is proud of that.
-Before SS Ms notes that they went to Octoberfest the night prior. After the song he notes it is their last in Germany and the band performs happy birthday to several of the crew.
-Country Feedback is dedicated to John Coltrane as it is his birthday as well. PB unleashes a 2:41 solo for the occasion. After the song MS notes that they have been there before, most recently for the MTV awards but his memory turns out to be incorrect. He does note the striking archetecture. He adds that they went to Octoberfest and " we wore hats and got stupid and had giant candy hearts around our necks. I don't know what that is but it's kind of cool".
-PB's guitar gets noted in the intros "that's the Rickenbacker". Possibly returned that day?
Grade: B
