Audience Audio





After what was a very rare appearance by the band in Austria, Silverchair set out for a handful of North America concerts, before going back to Australia for the rest of the year.



A pretty routine show. The band seems a bit more loose since the tour is ending, and it prompts Daniel to be a bit more silly with lyrics and Improvisations. This is the show with the band singing Happy Birthday. Daniel even changed up some of the Tomorrow lyrics to accommodate. This show might be one of the first to have the "hallelujah" fan participation chant. Too bad most of it was cut out of the recording. This is also a show where The Closing and Spawn make an appearance.





This is an audience recording of average quality. While listenable, there are a lot of blurps in the recording, as well as an almost 3 second blank space in between files. The source also has a lot of files listed as cut, when in fact the second half of songs run over into the next file. Only song that is actually cut is No Association. The rest of the show seems to be there with the exception of a few seconds before The Door. An overall unimpressive transfer.



With that said, we already have in the archive a partial video source for this show. The sound quality seems to match up, so the audio might be from the same source. This will go into the archive as a complete audio recording, as I am unsure other sources exist.





The setlist was :



01 - Intro

02 - Slave

03 - Leave Me Out

04 - Abuse Me

05 - The Closing

06 - Pure Massacre

07 - Cemetery

08 - Suicidal Dream

09 - Pop Song For Us Rejects

10 - Tomorrow

11 - Happy Birthday

12 - The Door

13 - Faultline

14 - No Association

15 - Freak

16 - Madman

------------ Encore Break ---------

17 - Spawn

18 - Israel's Son
