17. Can’t Deny Me (with Chad Smith on cowbell)
(Ed brings out the guitar that a local luthier built and gave him when Ed did his solo shows here.. He introduces it as his Brazilian guitar. The audience chants Sergio so they appear to know who made it for him.

The song ends with Ed slamming the mic stand)
Encore Break
