Description:
After We Care A Lot, Chuck: "Thank you goodnight it's been wonderful Norwich"
Puffy: "I just want to say that uh I especially care a lot about the fucking asshole that stole my snare drum"
Bill: "Now it's going to be a very unhappy show, and you guys paid for it"
Chuck: "Now you have to hear me play guitar"
During New Beginnings and Stairway To Heaven someone in the band says "Does anyone remember laughter?" which is a reference to some particularly crap Robert Plant stage banter.
In Sweet Dreams intro: "Thank you Norwich. Norwich? Crotch itch? This is a uh... Song. It's about a group of midgets that live only to please Jim"
Before Anne's Song the band asks the crowd to yell loud for Mike because he's angry about his snare drum being stolen.
