Very hard and fast series of opening songs. Before 'STBC,' Ed welcomes the "winners and losers alike." Ed engages the crowd to start off the first two verses 'Better Man' and says "Good singing!" at the end. 'Daughter' includes a "Hey ho, let's go" chant between Ed and the crowd. During 'Porch,' Ed tries to inspire the audience to "raise the roof off this place ... it's probably made of plastic." Returning for the encore, Ed starts singing, "Luck be a lady tonight," the apologizing for turning into "Buddy Love" for a moment. 'Last Kiss' is for the people in the back but Ed seriously baubles the lyrics while the band plays on. He blames it on the "strength of the wine" and says everyone makes mistakes. "I feel like Sammy Sosa ... The worst thing is I was feeling like such a winner right before ... I should have folded." After 'Down,' Ed says they will play a song to test his lyrical knowledge again, leading to 'Breath.' Ed returns to start the second encore, teasing humorously with a short improv of the Clash's 'Should I Stay Or Should I Go' with the crowd cheering, "Stay!" He speaks about how he's going to use his tax break to get Bush out of office, leading to a bit of chat about democracy and a solo 'Hide Your Love Away' with the crowd helping out by singing the "Hey!" at the start of each chorus. Matt drums the intro to 'Fuckin' Up' but that stops and they play 'Know Your Rights,' then return to play 'Fuckin' Up' properly, with Ed exclaiming"cuss words!" The lights come up and Mike plays a 'Barracuda' teaser as Ed introduces their "neighbors" from Seattle, Ann and Nancy Wilson (Heart), and they join PJ for 'RITFW,' with Ed and Ann throwing out many tambourines to the crowd in a big finish.
