Song information
- This is the live debut of Thought Contagion.
- Eternally Missed was played for the first since 2002. Matt commented that he was surprised that the song made it to the top 6.

- Yes Please was an abbreviated version - first verse and chorus only.
- Muscle Museum, Showbiz, Fury and Eternally Missed were all played half a step down.
- First performance of Helsinki Jam since 2011.
- This is the first time since 2013 that Knights of Cydonia wasn't played in a non-promotional gig.
