notes: Stand makes an appearance for the first time since 1989, Stipe explaining that they played it because it was their first time in Slovenia and it was meant to be a very popular song there, and it was the final European gig so they made it a one off performance. Before End Of The World Mike did some thank you's and Michael took over to wish happy birthday to Joe O'Herlihy before singing a quick happy birthday. After a very long End Of The World Michael stopped and sang Suspicious Minds, and then the band carried on with End Of The World again for a few more minutes!

notes: Michael told some funny stories before Fall On Me (pointed to a spot in the audience and said he had seen Neil Young from that spot four or so years ago [I think he's referring to the 1992 "Harvest Moon" tour] and came away impressed with one song in particular, 'Pocahontas.' He called Peter that night and asked him if he'd ever heard the song, to which Peter replied, "It's only one of the classic songs of the last 30 years," embarrassing Michael) and Falls To Climb (talked about learning to play the guitar and seeing Billy Corgan at a benefit, told him he had composed a new song with the chords he had learned. Billy replied "That's nice, but it sounds familiar," then came back later and asked Michael if it "sounded like this," playing 'Disarm.' Michael said "You fuck, not only are you taller than me, you went and copied my hairstyle as well!" He then lauded Corgan as one of the best songwriters around, then added that he wouldn't let it pass, so he added a vocal melody to the song and said "try imagining Corgan singing this one!") - Dean Hotta
