Zero Interlude Film
(BC: Ladies, gentlemen, friends, lovers, beasts or fowl, welcome to the show. We are the illuminated, the illustrious, the ill-timed knock. (two snare drum hits) Ah yes, we are the fractured, the schisms, the rift and the rabble, the sleepy clown, the atomized downs, the dreams you stopped dreaming oh so long ago. Yes, all colors mixed and marred make up the black, as do all numbers fix up the zero, zed and null. So let's go back to your beginnings, as I shall go back to mine. It won't last, it'll be quick, but then again, that's why we're here. No past, no future, no sun. So let's blow on fading embers, to boast about kings near, forgotten and buried. Tis the end. Tis the end. Tis the end.)
Zero
The Everlasting Gaze
Stand Inside Your Love
Iha: Alright alright alright, thank you so much. Thank you Boston. How are you? We have a circle pit over here tonight and you're rockin', we really appreciate it, thank you so much. What else do you wanna talk about? Red Sox a fit? Couple o' muscles, uh, [unintelligible word], here's another song.
Thirty-three (acoustic)
Eye
Soma
Vaudeville Interlude Film
(Mark McGrath: Well, hello there, neighbors! Are you enjoying the show thus far? Well, good, I am too, even though I'm not real. Now, if I could steal a moment of your time, I'd like to introduce somebody verrry special to you. He's been a friend and a neighbor to each and every one of you. He's been the voice you might hear in the stiiill of the night or a night dog straining against the moon. And, in fact, this young man has been with you almost every step along the way on life's long journey, sighing so ever soft. He's been a lover, a fighter, but never a cad. A beacon, a searchlight piercing every impenetrable fog. And he's here, just now, to sing for you, that golden chestnut we like to call Blew Away. So gather round, 'cause here he is: the one, the only, Mr. Jaaaaames Iha.)
Blew Away
For Martha
To Sheila
> Mayonaise
Porcelina of the Vast Oceans
Iha: Thanks so much, thank you. How you guys doing, are...you having a reasonable time? Thumbs up? This is, this next song is a well known song and uh...it was written in the '20s, but...(Billy throws a bottle of water into the crowd)...oop. This concert's getting crazy, did you see that?
Landslide (acoustic)
Tonight, Tonight
short lounge interlude (most is tape but Katie plays organ live)
> Stairway to Heaven
Iha: You can--you can cross that off the bucket list. Everybody plays Stairway to Heaven at TD Garden, that's pretty exciting. Thank you so much, thank you Boston.
Whole Lotta Love (tease - 5 notes)
Iha: (high pitched) Alright! (normal) Jimmy! Aw, phooey.
Cherub Rock
Vaudeville Interlude Film
(Mark McGrath: Well, wowie zowie, papa ooh maow maow! What a wang dang and doodle of a show. And, it ain't over yet. Now I don't know about you but this next tune is one of my faaaaaaves. Reminds me of drivin' down the old PCH, high out of my mind on ecstasy and I was singing the chorus of the song you're about to hear so hard and so on high, that one of my front teeth fell right out! Yup, plain out right there in the dashboard. Wow. That decade was just, just so good, wasn't it? I mean, here you have young wash masters rising up to start a musical and cultural revolution that was soon co-opted by the machine and driven asunder! Gee golly. But thankfully, what we got in return was just so much better. I mean, let's face it, who doesn't want perfection in their stars above? 'Cause perfect people making perfect, sweet music is, well, it's just, it's just what a god wants for all of us! Whoo! Red light, stop, it's raining. The air is cool and the sky is gray and the year? Well, it's 1979!)

Thank you so much for coming out, we really appreciate it.
BC: God bless everybody here, thank you so much, thank you. 30 years, 30 years ago we started this band, unbelievable that you're here with us, unbelieveable.
Iha: I'm getting a little nervous, heh heh. I'm nervous to them.
BC: So we bid you goodnight with this song, we dedicate this song to you. Do you like this song?
Iha: Oh, it's, this is a good one.
BC: Oh, this is a good one?
