Wilco (The Song)/Muzzle of Bees/A Shot In The Arm/Bull Black Nova/You Are My Face/One Wing/I Am Trying To Break Your Heart/Handshake Drugs/Impossible Germany/Jesus, etc./Sonny Feeling/Can't Stand It/Hate It Here 14. You Never Know 15. Walken 16. I'm The Man Who Loves You 17. Hummingbird

First Encore: Misunderstood /Spiders (Kidsmoke) Second Encore: Box Full Of Letters/Heavy Metal Drummer/I'm Always In Love/Hoodoo Voodoo.
