TFT Notes: This show occurs six years following the tragic death of nine fans at the Roskilde Festival in 2000. Ed greets the locals tonight with "Good evening, Milwaukee! Old Milwaukee, young Milwaukee" and dedicates "Last Kiss" to a local girl named Sara. Mike's opening riffs to "Save You" now include some metal-style muted picking just before the band kicks in. "Spin the Black Circle" is dedicated "not to CDs, not to Cassettes, not to 8-Tracks, not to downloads. We'd like to dedicate this next song to beautiful perfect circles made out of vinyl that 30 years ago we got our Tom Petty records on." Ed mentions that he never really thought about it before, but says the next song is about "bad parenting", leading to "Jeremy". "Daughter" includes a "W.M.A." tag where the "big hand slapped the white male Milwaukee-an", and later the chorus of "Ruby Tuesday" is thrown in. Ed forgets the lyrics in "Elderly Woman..." and causes the crowd singalong to go awry as well, prompting Ed to sing "Rockers brains they fade ... fade away". Ed allows the crowd to sing the "I will scream my lungs out..." line in "Indifference" and says afterwards "with this many people and this many people singing along, you'd have to imagine this kind of energy could obviously make a difference in the world." Ed tells of the story of "Smile" and the local origins of its lyrics: "There's a band that hails from Milwaukee - they're an important band to myself other guys in this group, guys in Queens of the Stone Age, Kurt (Cobain), Nirvana - everybody was really touched and moved by this little band. They were called The Frogs. I've got all their records, all 692 I believe. And they opened for us years ago and one night, after we had finished our little tour, I opened my notebook and there was a little note from one of the Frogs and it was beautifully written and the band was playing a song in the room that day in practice and I just started singing the note. These words are written by Denis from the Frogs - he's here tonight. Denis, this is for you, this song's called 'Smile'". During the song, Ed sings "Denis, this is how I feel." "Rockin in the Free World" includes a call/response with Ed and the crowd, "Hello Tom! / You're next, Tom!"
