NoteNotes courtesy of www.fivehorizons.com:
The first show of the East Leg of the 1998 US Tour finds the band in EXCELLENT energy and spirits.
All the members are spotted sidestage rocking out to Iggy Pop's tremendous opening set, and it
seems as though his energy inspired them to kick ass. Ed's hair is shorter, blacker and slicked
back, and he greets the audience with, "Okay, fuckers, our turn" (making reference to Iggy's rants
at the dead crowd for his set). 'MFC' is prefaced with, "If you ever wanna get out of town, expand
your boundaries, the best way might not be a tractor... but if a tractor's all ya have, go for it."
Ed sings an interesting improv, based on the structure of the new 'Jeremy,' with the lyrics being,
"The President spoke in court today." 'Immortality' is a total Matt Cameron-based jam, so much so
that Ed makes a point of giving him props at the end. Stone is absolutely on fire tonight, jumping,
thrashing, at the front of the stage constantly. 'Nothingman' is dedicated to the lawn (Ed claiming
that that's where he wouldve been at that show, if he hadn't found a way to sneak down front). During
'Alive,' Ed balances on Pete's shoulders to grab hands down front, and then runs to the left and right
side to do the same thing, afterwards applauding the crowd: "Good job, Indy - good job tonight." Prior
to the first encore, Ed acknowledges some of the signs in the audience requesting songs, as well as one
reading "Ed Lewinsky" and then they play a brief clip of Clinton's speech from that afternoon, follow ed
by Ed reading excerpts from it; at the end he comments, "I have one word to say - 'consensual'."
'Better Man' is dedicated in turn to both Bill and Hillary Clinton, and the tag has the melody of 'WMA,'
but no words are sung. His parting words are, "Behave like rock stars - not like the President."
Crowd was amazing and the band was really happy because of it.

(On the written setlist but not played: Porch, Indifference, Present Tense, Off He Goes)
