Sheesh! The things you miss when yer having a good time. You know, I woke
up this morning and as I was trying to recall the setlist I suddenly
realised I couldn't remember there being a keyboard break in BB, but
thought maybe I'd forgotten. Buck obviously did a good job of filling in
then, cos I didn't notice anything wrong.

I did notice that Eric got the lyric wrong in "Lips" - "I've been
stripped, the insulation's gone" appeared in both the first and second
verse (I think it's meant to be the second?).
