Comments from Bill Shaw
1. Temptation Waits
Comments: This has the intro and the opening song, Temptation Waits. The part where the sound cut in out isn't my fault, that actually happened at the show.

2. Not My Idea
Comments: They don't waste a lot of time and start on the second song immediately. Shirley takes a quick swig of water while the boys start up. She bobs her head along with the song, smiling.

3. I Think I'm Paranoid
Comments: Shirley expresses how much the band enjoys playing this venue. A simple warm greeting to San Jose before she sings the next song with them.

4. Special
Comments: The stage must be like a freshly-waxed high school gym floor, as Shirley notices from her dancing and jumping. Music starts at time frame 00:35, for you impatient ones.

5. My Lover's Box
Comments: Shirley puts on Rita while that humming sample plays. I heard her fine when it happened, but I guess she wasn't close enough to the mic; Shirley usually says "Go!" at the start of every performance of My Lover's Box. Steve plays certain parts on the keyboard instead of what he did in earlier shows, with the slide on the guitar.

6. Hammering In My Head
Comments: Shirley hands Rita to a stagehand, and quickly sips her water again during the opening noise (why don't you give me a better word for it?) of Hammering In My Head. She throws some pointing out to the crowd as she sings the line "I knew you were mine for the taking."

7. Thirteen
Comments: Shirley chuckles at something in the beginning of this file, but I don't remember what. They use a cool new sample that contains chattering, like on the studio version, that they weren't using in the beginning of the tour.

8. #1 Crush
Comments: The fans go nuts when they hear a new line of lyrics. You'll know what I mean when you hear it.

9. Stupid Girl
Comments: I know some of you have heard that lately, Shirley's been deep frying the Spice Girls in this song. Now's your chance to hear it for yourself.

10. Vow
Comments: Another new interesting sample is at the beginning of Vow. I don't know how Bill's microphones picked it up, but you hear a roll on the right, then immediately on the left. My only complaint is that I can barely hear what Shirley's singing near the end of the song.

11. Wicked Ways
Comments: Shirley thanks their current opening act, and dedicates their next song to a certain number forty-three. Nope, not a professional athlete... Music starts at 01:04.

12. Queer
Comments: Shirley comments on all the people singing along to all the songs (it's either my imagination, or you could really hear it well during Wicked Ways for the lines "that sinking feeling...walks out the door"). They've been playing Queer this way for awhile, it's a cool crossbreed of the LP version and the Danny Saber Mix.

13. Push It
Comments: Shirley reacts to a fan; Bill was in the back, so it didn't pick up too well, but being crushed up front, the guy wasn't too far back from me. If you listen carefully, you'll hear "Shirley has girl power!" She then gives thanks to us fansfor our support. Music starts at 01:03.

14. Only Happy When It Rains
Comments: There's this cool new slow string glow kind of sound in Only Happy When It Rains now. At least I think it's new, I don't remember hearing it before that night.

15. You Look So Fine
Comments: Shirley sips on her bottle of water, and someone up front screamed "Water!" and she tossed it (over my damn thirsty head) into the crowd. It was soon ripped apart by a couple dozen hands grabbing at it. She gave a silent snicker when she felt some sprinkles of water hit her feet. She says "thank you" for something. MAYBE it was to the stagehand who handed her a guitar. She doesn't play it until she finishes singing, and at that point, the band goes off and does their own thing for several more minutes, making each performance of You Look So Fine unique. They succeed in keeping the mood of the song as well. One by one, they leave the stage.

16. Milk
Comments: The fans clap, cheer, stomp, whistle, bird call, and eventually start chanting "Garbage!" a lot. Some stagehands rustle around the stage, and another bottle of water is placed on the stand in front of Butch's kit. The band comes back out at around 01:09. Shirley puts her hands over ears and yells "Shut up!", deafened by all the cheer, even with the custom plastic ear molds she wears. They play Milk, and it's another cool crossbreed, mostly the LP version, and some of the Siren Mix put into place. Sounds awesome. Music starts at 02:10.

17. Lick The Pavement
Comments: Fans respond to Shirley's command, saying happy birthday to one of their light techs, Dave. The Girls Against Boys lead singer also told us to say "Happy birthday Fuckface!", but I dunno if Dave and Fuckface are the same person. After this song, I think Shirley's talking about how much less people sang along, LTP being only on import Push It singles.

18. When I Grow Up
Comments: The show closer. I don't know if the last song in the setlist depended on what the fans were asking for. It was taped to the stage floor, but a stagehand just peeled it off when it was all over. When the song was over, Shirley waved and stepped offstage right. Duke and Steve quickly followed her, both waving. Butch stood before his kit, took a bow Broadway style, and stepped stage right as well. The fans still chanted Garbage and the cheer didn't die for quite a while. And as the endtro played, security up front even told me and the others there to leave, that the show was over. Hope you enjoyed this show at least half as much as I did (minus going home crushed and damp with other people's sweat).
