FIRST SET

(Before DRAAG national anthem)

[Projection Guy]: Hello my friends, good morning. It is another beautiful day in Draag. A chance, once more, to get things right; and push beyond our best. So, rise with the sun, and take your medication. Here is your schedule for today, and we will start by observing the Draag National Anthem.

(Before Disappear)

[Gerard]: [very forced] Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

(Before Sharpest Lives)

[Gerard]: Good applesauce, it’s nice to greet you. Good be here, it’s nice to applesauce. Good evening.

(Before WTTBP)

[Projection Guy]: The humourous thing about learning to be what you hate, and learning to do what you fear, is that someone you’ve been your whole life doing something you’ve always been good at could feel so entirely new. That brutality, so second nature, could feel so alien, so foreign to you; it’s astounding to witness firsthand. So let’s remind you, for a moment, exactly what you are and the thing that you do best. The lesson is, a man knows how to forgive, but a leader knows how to instruct. And since, through pain we learn, let’s be student then be a teacher. Now, take your place, use your words, and produce for the crowd a respite.

(Before House of Wolves)

[Gerard]: Hahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahaha! [yips] [yips again] [yips and growls]

(Before Cancer)

[Narrated from Charlie reading a postcard]: Hello from Gubrick. It’s really not that bad here. You don’t notice the smell after a few days. Sadly, there’s nothing I can do for you. All my love, Dad.

(During Mama interlude)

(Dagger part)

[Gerard]: What’s so funny? You guys are laughing already, what is it?! It’s my suit, isn’t it? It’s all crumbly, right? It’s filthy, and crumbly, and smelly, right? Ugh. That’s what happens when you roll around garbage like you do for a living! [?] Know what I’m sayin’?! Jokes. No, no, no, jokes, folks, these are jokes. So, anyway, the boys and I had a long flight, I’m gonna take a drink, and then we’re gonna play you guys a song from a long time ago. Taught to me from a friend from an even longer time ago. Hold, please. And young man, how are you doing tonight?

[Charlie]: Very good.

[Gerard]: That’s excellent to hear! I’m pretty good myself, I think. So, anyway, I got this friend. He liked to rob banks. He ended up in jail, which is where I met him anyway. And he says to me, I really like your boots. And I said, dear sir! You ain’t got any boots! So I can’t compliment you, can I? But he says, shh. He says shut the fuck up. And he leans in close, and he whispers in my ear a song. He says…

(Introducing Sylvia)

[Gerard]: Alright, people of the Catskills! I’d like to introduce you to somebody that helps us out with our act every night. She comes from the way far-off land of Coca-Cola, Texas. Please make some noise for the magician’s assistant, Sylvia! This brave young lady is gonna do the death-defying trick of allowing us to make her disappear! She’s never done it before, but I promise we’re really good at it. Do you wanna help, maybe? Do you wanna help, maybe?! So with the powers that are invested in us, from The Great Gazoo, imbued from the powers of the underworld…!

(During Big Sky)

[Projection Guy]: There is a planet, so it spins. And it’s moving so fast, it’s not worried at all. Very busy. People, people hurry. And the child, who had the chalk, and sang: let me sing. So we see them. We say, let me see who loves you. And the chalk, it moves in circles. Many circles, great big circles! Hugging arms and smiling eyes! And we tell the child, let’s subtract, and again, and, what if we subtract them all? Who is left to love you? There is only the hands that wipe the chalkboard clean.

(Before Sleep)

[Projection Guy]: And I feel, all this time you are making drawings someone else must now erase. But I’m glad that we are friends, and that now you understand—this is the worst day of your life, but the first day of yourself.

(Before Disenchanted)

[Projection Guy]: Come close, my friend. I see you. But, no, we’ve never met. They gave to me a picture, and I’ve had it quite some time. In fact, before you said a word, I’ve always heard your voice. Have you heard mine? That makes me smile. There is one last seat, and one more ticket. It’s hiding in your coat. Yes, you. You’re here. So take your seat, get comfy. Here is my hand.

(Before Famous Last Words)

[Real Boy]: A figure sits in a chair made of wood. And it’s sobbing. You think it’s you. You’re pretty sure it’s you. But it’s weak, it’s broken. And it’s covered in gasoline. Now, picture yourself.

SECOND SET

(Before not okay)

[Gerard]: [laughs] Agua. [shushes] We’re My Chemical Romance from New Jersey.

(Before give ‘em hell kid)

[Gerard]: [singing] There is a place nobody knows. Where the wind always blows. Come here, my baby, and hold my hand.

(Before Summertime)

[Gerard]: Fuck yeah, Chile! Santiago, how are you? I know, I said the country first. I don’t know. [laughs] How you guys doing tonight? Oh, yeah, fuckin’, um, I don’t know Spanish, like Howlin’ Pelle Almqvist, from The Hives. Un poco. Biblioteca… Sí… so, this is the first time we’ve been back to South America in a very long time, and, we wanna thank the very special fucking band that decided to come out with us, on this, and that is The motherfucking Hives. The absolute fucking greatest! We’re so happy to have ‘em. And we wanna thank our crew, working so hard, long fucking hours. Please make some noise for them, too. As always, with us many years, Jarrod Alexander playing the drums, Jamie Muhoberac playing fucking keyboards! [making keyboard noises] you know that shit? You know? And, uh, please make some noise for our auxiliary band, Clarice Jensen, who played one of her amazing pieces while we were wiping blood off and shit, changing shoes, the amazing Kayleigh Goldsworthy, and the amazing, handsome, Tucker Rule! And please make some noise for Hvnvbi, they sounded great! Okay. Is it luces? Más luces. ¡Más luces! Sí, sí, sí, sí, sí, sí, sí, sí, sí! Más luces. Alright. For. You.

(Before my way home)

[Gerard]: ¡Gracias, Chile! I used to know how to say beautiful. I forgot all the Spanish words. I know, it’s bullshit, right? Bonita, gracias. Más bonita. [plays canned laughter] you guys like jokes? Alright, this has been a really fucking fun one to play, it’s a B-side off Le Black Parade, a very popular record in France, if everybody’s ready. It’s called “My Way Home Is fucking Through You”.

(Before foundations)

[Gerard]: You needa keep it dark. This is our first new song in a very long time. It’s our first time playing it here. It’s called “The Foundations of Decay”.

(Before Skylines)

[Gerard]: Gracias, Chile. One more time, please make some fucking noise for The Hives. Más. We have a couple more left for you, thank you so much. Motherfuckers, we’re lit. Lit AF. That’s what the kids say, right? This is the first song of this band ever. We’ve not played this yet, either. On this tour. It’s called “Skylines and Turnstiles”. Alright, if you know it, it’s a fucking old one, but if you know it! Scream that shit out, alright? We got a deal?

(Before Helena)
