BC: See that group of people over there...
Iha: Yes.

Iha: [cuts in] So, Miami Beach, it's great to be here. You know what’s up. I have to say it's very cold here, but we're very glad people came out tonight, put up with us. [unintelligible] psychedelia, grunge rock and uh, cyber rock...which leads us to our next song...which will be of the cyber rock category, we hope you like this song, it's called (whispered) X.Y.U., (short exhale).
BC: What just happened?
Iha: (whispered) I said, X.Y.U., (short exhale). (short exhale).
BC: You think they’re gonna fall for your cheap parlor tricks? Let's--let’s have a rock and roll introduction.

X.Y.U.
[encore break]
Iha: Merci beaucoup, rock on, thank you. We would now like to journey through the past. [completely unintelligible sentence]. It’s old...but uh, these are a couple goldie but oldie songs. Hit them with them.
Rhinoceros
BC: Thank you very much. Thank you uh, very much just sticking around so long, we appreciate it very much, especially those of you way up there in the [unintelligible word].
Iha: We salute you.
BC: We salute you, thank you very much.
Iha: [unintelligible], the people on the back, thank you very much for sticking around too, you are a very special backlight.
BC: After college, I was uh, I had some problems with my voice and uh, some doctor gave me some pills and he said “These pills might make you depressed and angry.”
Iha: One thing our music doesn’t do already but makes worse.
BC: So I can't tell if it's just me or uh, it’s the pills, but uh....
Iha: He also has a cyber implant which might be new to you out here in Sioux--well, um, I don't know.
BC: What are you saying?
Iha: What?
BC: Are you saying people out here don't get technology?
Iha: No, I, no, I think they have, do you have cell phones though?
BC: What do you think, these people don't know about computers and the internet and...cybersex?
Iha: Alright, well, I'll just throw this out, do you have the same--
BC: James, James still thinks all you people out here are still chewin’ hay and kickin' it with the buffaloes and shit.
Iha: Okay, well, do any of you people out there have a prosthetic...uh, chrome arm? This arm is fake and uh, I bought it from Jimmy Page. Do you have that out here? I got it. I'm just kidding, I don't know what else to say here, so we're glad that you're rocking with us, we hope you can rock some more. This song is called [unintelligible but sounds like “Hey, put that back”].
