Set List:

02. Do The Evolution
03. Corduroy
04. Lightning Bolt
05. Mind Your Manners
06. Blood

(Ed welcomes the audience and says they are glad to be back in South Australia.
He says hello to the people in the “free water” section and says it looks nice but since you can only drink water there he wouldn’t wanna watch the show from there.
He says he doesn’t understand how the part of Australia that is closest to Antarctica could be so damn hot. He commends the people that got to the show early and have stayed up front all day. He offers to buy anyone that he recognizes from the front row drinks all night if they see him at the pool hall by the Scarborough Hotel the band frequents)

07. Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town
08. Got Some

(“This one is like a father’s day card. If your father is a fucking asshole.”)

09. My Father’s Son

(“Mr. Mike McCready has agreed to entertain you while I get just half a breath.”)
10. Eruption-(Van Halen)
11. Even Flow

(Ed talks about Soundgarden, Cosmic Psychos and Mudhoney who have played previous Big Day Out festivals. He says he had heard the term ‘Bogan’ and wondered what it meant. “I assumed it was an insult but when someone described a Bogan I realized most of my Aussie friends were Bogans. May be it means something different back in the states.
He mentions the upcoming Super Bowl and notes that while they wouldn’t normally care, the Seattle Seahawks are playing this year. Ed shows a jersey that a fan made for him. “Seattle Washington is playing Denver Colorado. The only two states in all fifty United States that have legal marijuana. Maybe other states and other countries will take notice.” He also wonders who Snoop Lion is rooting for. This next song is called Sirens-dedicated to the Seattle Seahawks.”
12. Sirens w/ sing along outro
13. Daughter/It's OK-(Cole)

(“Here’s to playing in the flight path!” A reference to the fact that there is an airport nearby and planes fly fairly low over the park)

14. Given To Fly
(“This used to be a song about war. Now it feels more like a song about climate change.”)
15. World Wide Suicide
(Ed starts to say something about reading a story to your child but gets distracted because he is getting bit by a mosquito. “Fucking mosquito. Twenty thousand people here and it’s eating me...Actually I am glad about that. Rather me than you.”

“Okay, so this is like a bedtime story you read to your child. It starts out ‘Once upon a time.”)
16. Once
(“This here is a request of sorts.”)
17. Red Mosquito
18. Betterman/Save It For Later-(Charley, Cox, Morton, Steele, Wakeling)
{Ed asks if the people in the free water section will clap along then chides them for being out of time and when they get the groove, he compliments them. He notes that this is the part where they have the most girls on guys shoulders usually. Tonight he notes that there was a woman with a guy on her shoulders, “way to go mama”

Encore Break 1

(Ed asks for an Aussie beer, “VB? Cascade? Tasmania? No? Well instead of Aussie beer how about an Aussie song?”

20. Mother-(Waters)
21. Jeremy
22. Lukin

(Ed thanks the people putting on Big Day Out. He knows they tried to make it better than the last few times. He thanks the audience for being so well behaved in this extremely hot weather.
“Okay, this is your walk out music or whatever.”)

27. Yellow Ledbetter/Little Wing-(Hendrix) (Ed plays drums for the Little Wing portion)
