Notes (from 5H):
A solid, intense show, that gets crazy during the second encore. Some members
of the crowd lacking in class start booing during 'Bushleaguer.' Ed's response:
"I busted out the nice suit for you, yeah? Ahhhhh, yeah. You didn't like that
one. I don't understand. Maybe you like him cuz he's gonna give you a tax cut.
Maybe you like him because he is a real guy, that relates to you, because he is
so down home." Crowd starts chanting: "USA, USA, USA!" Ed responds: "I'm with
you. USA. I just think that all of us in this room should have a voice in how
the USA is represented. And he didn't allow us our voice. That's all I'm
saying. We love America. I am standing on a stage in front of a big crowd. I
worked in a good damn drug store. I love America, right? (Some people are
yelling "play some fucking rock and roll!") This is good, this is open, honest
debate, and that's what it should be. If you keep this back and forth ... good
things will happen. If you don't say anything, you don't know what will happen.
Cause we are on a brink of forever. And if we don't participate on where this
thing is going, when where we are the number one super power in the world, you
want to have a part in it and make sure it is a good thing, yeah? Plus or
minus, be active. This is a good thing." The band continues with a searing
'Know Your Rights' followed by 'RITFW,' during which some in the crowd are
flipping the bird and throwing projectiles.) Ed repeats the "U-S-A" chant a few
times, says "Thank you, good night," and slams the mic stand down. The band is
obviously upset and they leave the stage. 'Smile,' 'Indifference' and
'Soldier Of Love' were on the setlist and not played.
Note: Approx. one hour before the PJ show in Buffalo, local Buffalo radio
station (103.3 The Edge) interviewed Mike. Mike said that due to the reactions
of fans during the tour while "Bushleaguer" was being performed (Mike cited the
boos received at the Uniondale show) that the band has reached a decision and
the song will no longer be played live. He said that the one thing they don't
want to do is alienate their fans, and that they (the band) are as American as
anyone and hopes that people won't misunderstand the meaning behind the song.
