BC: Thank you very much, thank you, thank you. Hey uh, everybody here, everyone's gonna get crushed, you gotta relax, step back. We don't want anyone shutting down the show, you gotta relax, relax. It's not a normal rock concert, you know. Relax, there you go. Everybody take a deep breath, ahhh, take a step back. There's nobody else coming in behind you, you got all this room behind you, it's fine.

BC: Let us uh, say good evening to all of you, good evening. For all of you who, uh, waited in the rain today. Thank you, thank you so much. We can never fully express to you how much we love you and appreciate everything that you give to us, so thank you. So to all you lunatics, we'd like to dedicate this next song, it's from our new album, it's called I of the Mourning.

(BC midsong: Let us, let us, let us, let us, let us...thank, thank, thank, thank the skies for not raining, thank the skies for not raining. Thank you up there for not raining. One more time, one more time we take out the knife, we take out the knife, it’s an old knife but it still works, we take out the knife and we dig a hole right through the San Andreas Fault, right underneath the breast of L.A. Right down into dirty Hollywood. (growls) We’re gonna unleash the demons and the dirt and the bullshit, right out. (whiny growl) We say our prayers, we say thank you for this moment, we say thank you for you, we say thank you for you, thank you for you, thank you for who you are, thank you for who you are. So let us kick up the dust and the dirt and the demons, let us kick it up into the air and just look at it. It does not control us, it does not control us, TV does not control us, the newspapers do not control us. The internet does not control us, nothing controls us, we are our own manifest destiny, we are our own destiny. We are the machines. We speak this dream. We are the machines. We are the machines offfffff offfff...we are the machines of goooooooooooood!)
