notes: Ed performs 'Last Kiss' solo, wearing the same striped jacket he wore at the Palladium and La Paloma shows, commenting something to the effect that Keith Moon loaned him the jacket. Jeff comes out wearing a white Dick Tracey hat. After 'NAIS' Ed mentions that they played at Wembley last night but tonight was going to be something completely different. Stone exaggerates the end of 'In Hiding' much to the amusement of Ed. Ed dedicates 'Even Flow' to Tom Price, the guitarist of Monkeywrench. Before 'Thin Air,' Ed states that anyone is lucky to have fallen in love and states that the next song is written by Stone about young love. The band adds a very powerful guitar driven ending to 'Habit' and Matt does a GREAT drum solo. Ed flubs up the first line to 'Untitled' which segues into 'MFC.' Ed almost introduces 'Off He Goes' as being from the same album as 'MFC' and then corrects himself. Mike takes off his shirt before 'Daughter' much to the joy of a few female fans. Ed and Mike practically knock each other over during 'Not For You.' Matt adds an amazing drum solo at the end of 'Immortality.' 'Rearviewmirror' is an absolutely magnificent finish to the set. Ed comes out during the encore and says he has a scar to remember. "Mike hit me with his guitar, the fuckin' prick." Ed mentions that backstage Mike reminded him of a scar that Ed gave him in San Francisco either years ago. Ed jokes that he's on the offensive. During 'DTE' Ed pretends to attack Mike with the microphone stand. During 'Alive' towards the end, Mike runs all over the stage and Ed swings the microphone around.
