Notes (courtesy of 5H):
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 would have 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, followed 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 Hilary
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.

He Goes)
