During the breakdown in In 'N' Out of Grace, Mark explains to the audience that there's two types of people in this world: those that are at the show, and those that aren't. After going into detail about the differences between the two he adds, "Tonight after the show, if you see anyone who wasn't here, I want you to beat the fucking shit out of them. Let's play some jazz," and they go into a faux-jazz mode. The ending of the song is drawn out, with the "jazz" theme repeated.8/9/91 Old Trout. Windsor, England

Encore 2: The Money Will Roll Right In, Hate the Police
Notes: The ending to Touch Me I'm Sick is long and drawn out. Mark prefaces Who You Drivin' Now? with, "This is a song that was originally in the Gas Huffer repotoire, but we stole it from them and we banished them from playing it for the rest of the tour. It's called..." and he's cut off by Dan starting the song. The middle section of Dead Love is relatively energetic. During the intro to You Got It Mark shouts, "Do the piston!" When the song ends he follows up on that with, "It's a sad state of affairs, ladies and gentlemen, when you're own band can't even do the piston when a video camera crew is here to film them." Matt replies, "You can't what? You can't piss?"9/21/91 Opera House. Toronto, Canada (65 min)

Encore: You Stupid Asshole, Fix Me, Hate the Police
Notes: Shoot the Moon is performed for the first known time. Mark introduces most of the songs with Rush song titles. Wou You Drivin' Now? becomes Lakeside Park, You Got it is Bastille Day, etc. Before If I Think, there's a small break while Steve tunes his guitar and Matt announces, "Look at me! I'm a French cunt!" The crowd boos and he tries to get back on their good side by saying, "Hey, I like beer." Mark starts introducing Shoot the Moon, speaking quickly: "This here song is about driving fast late at night drunk with the top down and long ass hair and its called - " and Matt cuts him off and says "It's about pussy." Before Touch Me I'm Sick Matt plays the part of crowd favorite again by criticizing Canadian beer. After the audience boos and curses at him, he dismisses them with, "When you're a rich American traveling around the world..." It's at this point that Mark tells the crowd that they're using Rush song titles as a tribute. After the song is over he says, "When you come to Seattle, you can name Soundgarden songs. It's the same thing."9/24/91 Channel. Boston, MA (65 min)

Encore 2: Need, Get into Yours
Notes: They hit the stage and Mark says into the mic in an Australian accent, "Waiter can you give me a beer? Waiter we'd like some more beer." During the break in In 'N' Out of Grace, Mark welcomes the crowd: "Good evening ladies and gentlemen. We'd like to welcome you to an evening of food, drink and fun at Slim's Bar and Grill. We'll be you're entertainment for tonight. We are from Seattle, Washington by way of Santa Barbara, California. In the Pacific Northwest we're known as Mudhoney. Thank you." The last line of You Got it is changed to "eat my butt." After Into the Drink, people from the crowd start yelling for songs. Mark cuts the off with, "Hey hey hey, we're getting way too many than we can even play tonight in our short set. We'd like to thank you for your concern and your interest, but hey, we gotta stick to the planned material." Matt adds, "We got beer to drink." Mark continues: "This is a little number from Janes Addition that we'd like to do for you." Matt: "It's called I'm a pouf and I wear lipstick." Mark: "We hope it warms the cockles of your heart." Touch Me I'm Sick is introduced by Mark with, "We're going to take you back to the innocense of 1988 with this number." They hit the stage for the first encore and Matt starts soliciting the crowd: "Welcome to Mudhoney's second set...If anybody happens to have any spare quarters and wants to lob them up, feel free. Don't throw hard! Just lob them up, like into my back pocket because I've got calls to make...There we go, make that one call. I think that's the only one I can make. Dimes won't do it." After a second, Mark adds, "We changed our mind. This coin shit hurts to much so we're doing paper money. Make little paper airplanes and throw them onstage." At this point, Steve comments, "You know ZZ Top, their guitar player uses some kind of coin for a pick." Matt: "No, he uses a peso to get that southern..." Steve: That's a coin though, isn't it? I said some kind of coin." Matt: "OK, I'll use a phone card to make the call then." Someone from the crowd then shouts something about Los Angeles. Mark: "L.A.? What the fuck is this?" Steve: "We hate L.A.!" Cheers go up from the crowd. Mark: "Hey wait a minute, that doesn't necessarily mean we love you or anything." Matt: "It's a lot like Paris, it's definately not a rock town." Steve: "After tonight we're going down there and kicking L.A.'s ass, huh?" and there's more applause. Mark: "You and me in a big old bus. Come on baby, let's do it!" At this point they get around to playing another song. After The Money Will Roll..., Mark mentions that the song was written by Tom Flynn, and Matt picks up from there: "...owner of Penis [Boner] Records, home of the Melvins, who by the way, are a bunch of poufs. Well they moved to San Francisco, didn't they?...I got kicked out of the Melvins and started a real band." Mark and Steve then thank him for this. When they come out for the second encore, it's time for more talk. Matt spots someone in the crowd: "Hey look at that guy, he looks just like Steve! With the glasses on." Steve: "That's one cool looking guy." Matt: "Is anyone following me? (shouts of "no" from the crowd") Am I talking to fast for you people? Here's a song I wrote about sex," and they start up Need. As they leave the stage for good, Matt gets in a final comment: "Thank you very much, I'm going to go take my shirt off."10/15/91 Shinjuku Antiknock. Tokyo, Japan

Encore: This Gift, Mudride, In 'N' Out of Grace
Encore 2: You Stupid Asshole, Hate the Police
Notes: Thirteenth Floor Opening is performed for the first known time. Matt and Mark seem to be really into the show throughout. When they come out, Matt says, "I want to thank Randy for all the porno videos in the back room. I love porno. I love it," and Mark thanks Monster Magnet for playing. Before Who You Drivin' Now, Dan starts playing Into the Drink, and stops when everyone else is supposed to come in, but doesn't. After Good Enough, Mark announces, "we'd like to play a number for you that hasn't been recorded for and it goes a little something like this" and they play No One Has, but Mark sings gibberish for half of the song. After Let it Slide Mark writes and sings a 10 second death metal song. During Touch Me I'm Sick, instead of singing the first refrain, Mark sings a bit of Smells Like Teen Spirit, and then later substitutes "'cause I'm 30 years old" instead of "touch me I'm sick." When they come out for the first encore, Matt steps up to Mark's microphone and says, "damn, I have a bad case of heartburn right now. I think it might even be a heart attack. Is there..." at which point he stops because Steve is trying to whisper something to him. After that, he continues, "No, I didn't eat a hotdog today. Is there a hospital nearby where someone could rush me to?" Mark then introduces This Gift with, "how many of you are sick of the '90s? Are you looking back to those wonderful '80s? Well, we're going to take you there." During the Mudride solo, Mark keeps his back to the audience, and then vomits on-stage. When he turns around, Matt offers him some beer, but he's laughing so hard that he doesn't notice. Later, during the In 'N' Out of Grace solo, Mark has some more beer, and tells the crowd, "I'm fine now. As a matter of fact, I could use another drink." When they come out for the second encore, Steve says, "we were going to do a really rocking song but our singer is sick, so I guess we'll do a another song," and Mark responds, "I've never felt better in my life." Matt, apparently still suffering from heartburn says, "I wish I could do that, Mark. Does anyone have any Rolaids? Randy, do you have any Rolaids? I'll drink a beer; that'll cool it down." While he's talking, Mark is wiping vomit off of his distortion box. Then Matt says, "I think I'll strap my bass below my knees, like Nirvana. And I'll grow a beard." Mark does interpretive dances during You Stupid Asshole and then lets some people in the crowd sing part of Hate the Police.12/30/91 9:30 Club. Washington, D.C. (55 min)

Encore: (Smells Like Teen Spirit), This Gift, In 'N' Out of Grace, Dehumanized
Notes: Dehumanized is performed for the first known time. As they hit the stage, someone is screaming for Smells Like Teen Spirit, so Dan and Steve each play a little of it. Mark opens with, "we'll be playing nothing but Young Fresh Fellows covers tonight. 1, 2, 3, 4, rock 'n' roll pest control!" Matt talks for an extended period of time with the crowd, then cuts himself short with, "hey, you don't want to hear me talk" right before Good Enough. Half-way through the set while Steve is noodling on his guitar, Mark says, "this is the beginning to our new song, Jazz Odyssey in which each instrument will imitate the sound of a different type of bird." They then launched straight into No One Has. As they're leaving the stage for the set break, Steve tells the crowd, "please be patient if you want to hear us play some more. Dan and Matt both have to change their shorts. Dan defecated in his." When they get back on-stage, they tease Smells Like Teen Spirit some more, and Mark talks about how the only bands you hear on the radio anymore are Soundgarden and Nirvana.12/31/91 Maxwell's.
