Notes (from 5H):
Ed is sick, drinking tea, chasing it with wine and a smoke throughout the show. Ed flubs the lyrics to 'DTE' and the band has to adjust, leading to an awkward moment in the mid-song. After 'Insignificance,' Ed points out that the reason the band are playing Fargo is Jeff Ament and the crowd responds with "Jeff" chants. Ed mentions Jeff's family, who are supposedly in the stands stage right holding a large "Thanks, Jeff" banner. He thanks the Cohen brothers, leading to 'NAIS.' Ed postulates that in the 2300+ shows the Ramones played, not one was in Fargo, and thus, this is the first time this song has ever been played in Fargo, leading to 'I Believe in Miracles.' The 'Daughter' tag doesn't quite get off the ground with the crowd, who have trouble with the call and response and Ed struggles with his throat. Mike is immersed in his 'Even Flow' solo, dragging it out over several minutes and the band seeming impatient with him, all staring at him with not-too-happy looks on their faces. 'Whipping' is introduced as "another love song, with a bondage twist to it."
'In My Tree' makes its tour debut, though the band only "play the part we remember..." It's a fairly low-key, slower and shorter version, but beautiful in its simplicity, with improvised lyrics at the end.
It's still growing up just like me, yeah.
Still growing, still breathing, still avoiding dying.
Still playing, still loving, still avoiding crying, yeah.
As the crow flies, as the tree grows, tomorrow I'll die.
Something I never thought I'd know.
Ed remarks afterward, "That was just a detour." 'Thumbing My Way' is played electric rather than acoustic. Lyrics included during 'Porch:' "If I could take back ... there's some things I'd change ..."
When they return for the first encore, Ed, who noticeably has difficulty with his voice all night long, making several gestures to his throat throughout the show, apologizes for his difficulties. "I guess I was just intimidated by all of Jeff's family. Or all the sudden it freaked me out cause I know that my family's gonna be in Chicago in three days and I'm getting the shakes." 'Sleight Of Hand' makes an odd encore appearance, with Ed noting, "... it is not the average, not the normal, we might try it."
Matt and Ed return for the second encore with Ed announcing, "Minnesota can wait. (big cheers) Half of you are from Minnesota. OK, then goodnight we'll see you tomorrow!" The wine bottle gets passed around for 'Crazy Mary,' and Boom goes wild at the end. 'Baba' closes the show, the crowd in this small venue taking over the chorus.
