Set: Judgment Rage..., Generation Spokesmodel, What Moves the Heart?
Notes: This was a radio broadcast free to any station that wished to pick it up. The entire broadcast lasted 260 minutes. During one segment, Eddie Vedder (who acted as the master of ceremonies), played a phone message left for him and his wife by one Mr. Matt Lukin. Later in the broadcast, Steve briefly spoke about Dave Grohl. Mark introduced each song before they played it. The preface for Judgement Rage... was, "...it's about four things. I'm not sure what they are." When he got to What Moves the Heart?, he said, "...and this poses the musical question, what moves the heart?" (transcription of Matt and Steve's appearances)

Notes: This was a special secret gig. Each song was started and finished with cowbells, because, as Matt explained: "We are cowboys, you see".

Notes: During The Zeros' set, Mudhoney sat in the balcony, where the dressing rooms are located, and kept calling for the same song to be played over and over.

Notes: The venue for this show was changed from the King Performance Center at the last minute.

Then Lukin goes into a semi-ramble about how he thinks someone slipped him a mickey. So, Mark brings it back with, "Shouldn't we play some of that rock 'n' fucking roll?

Notes: They hit the stage, and Mark introduces 'Suck You Dry' with, "That's alright, we don't need to know what's going on. This song's called 'Fuck the Setlist,' alright!" After the song: "Whoa, man. We're all over the map with that one." Then he introduces 'Generation Spokesmodel:' "This song's was a bit hit. It was number one in Oslo, it was number one in Malmo, it was number one in Copenhagen, it was even number one in Helskini. And it's time, Stockholm, you made it number one here, too, alright!" After 'Judgment Rage...:' "Shit, I think we're gonna get kicked off the tour for that one." While they're playing a one-off festival, it's the same group of bands going from festival to festival: Mudhoney, Soundgarden, White Zombie, etc. Mark changes the last verse of 'Touch Me I'm Sick' to: "On the open seas, losing all my bearings / eating lots of lutefisk, and I'm sick of herring" and then finishes the song singing, "Fuck Steve, he's rich!" and pointing at him. He introduces 'F.D.K.' with, "This song's a punk song, not a grunge song." As they close with 'Hate the Police:' "What the hell. We know by know we'd be kicked off this tour, so it doesn't matter what we do from now on, right? Setlist, schmetlist, man, it doesn't mean nothing to me! 1945!" And they leave the stage with, "Thank you, you people are beautiful, man. I wish we could wrap you up and take you home."9/2/95 Valbyhallen. Copenhagen, Denmark

Notes: A classic billing. After playing a show to 20,000 punks, Mel Torme ("The Velvet Fog") came off the stage saying that it was the greatest show of his life. Unfortunately, the home-town crowd was less hospitible to Mudhoney. Using the lemon-halves from their drinks, they showed the band that they were much more eager to see the headlining Ramones by sending a hail of the fruits torwards the stage. Mark prefaced F.D.K. with, "it's an honor to be playing with the Ramones tonight. If it weren't for them, this song would have never been written." At the end of 1995 Mark begins repeating, "there's no place like home," a la Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz.9/30/95 "NXNW Festival". The Lotus Cardroom and Cafe. Portland, OR
