Glass and the Ghost Children
BC: Well, I lost my thing, heh, my little thing-a-ma-jiggy. I don't know what that thing is. What is this called? Little thingie. Little thingie that goes on the thingie. Heh, swish -- switch gap, alright. Knowledge wise. Alright. You know, Jeff...that's Jeff over there. You know Mark already. You've seen him in the bars.
Jeff: He's always givin' it straight.
BC: That's Brad back there. Now Jeff...when a crowd's rambunctious like this, usually means -- in my experience -- it means one of two things. One: they're bored. Or...it's party all night, get fucked up.
Jeff: Yeah, I think that's what's happening here.
BC: What happens in Sinthia stays in Sinthia, all that kind of stuff.
Jeff: Right right right right right.
BC: What do you think it is, I'm asking you.
Jeff: I don't know, I don't know, they’re just gettin’ started, just gettin’ started.
BC: Party’s just gettin’ started?
Jeff: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
BC: Is the party gettin’ started for you right there? Alright! That’s what I wanna hear. ‘Cause you know we’re all about the party in the Pumpkins. You know it’s like when you think Beach Boys, you think summer; when you think Pumpkins, you think good time...happy vibes...positivity, life affirming, yeah, yeah, all night long. Heh heh. And then there’s the guy shouting for Mayonaise. Young man, the only mayonnaise you’re gonna get is uh...in a -- in a parking lot somewhere. Bent over a steering wheel. Heh heh, all night long, all night long.
Guy in crowd: Freebird!
BC: A little Freebird, yeah. You know, I used to have a joke for that. You know my Freebird...? You know, in the ‘90s, it was a big thing to shout Freebird a lot, remember that, remember the ‘90s? I don’t but it's okay. So you know, for years this Freebird problem beguiled us, how do we stop the -- excuse my French -- the idiot from shouting Freebird? And uh, there you are, I recognize you from the ‘90s! This guy followed us everywhere. No, I won’t -- I had such a good retort but it’s so inappropriate. No, no no no, no no. You know, when I’m not picking fights with idiots like Anderson Cooper, um.... I'm gonna tell you, wait a second, hold on, he picked a fight with me! I’m so used to pickin’ fights with people, I forgot, he picked a fuckin’ fight with me. I’ll fuckin’ knock that motherfucker out. You know, he doesn’t realize how big I am, I think that’s the thing.
Whole Lotta Love (tease - Jeff plays the riff once quietly)
BC: Heh heh, heh heh, kinda reminds you of the old days, right?
Jeff: Heh heh heh, come on!
BC: You know that in The Killers, this kind of thing? You guys are all like life-affirming, positive. Anyway, this is a song called Stand Inside Your Love.

BC: Thank you very much, thank you. Now we have a small surprise.
Jeff: Small.
BC: We're gonna be going over to Zia Records, you know that record store? We're gonna be playing a little acoustic thing over there in about an hour. And we're gonna be signing our new album that I know you all already own, but....
Jeff: Yeah, man.
BC: I'm sorry?
Crowd: [various shouts saying that there's two Zia Records and which one?]
BC: Oh, there's two Zias? East side. That's where the bad boys live, right, east side? So yeah, we'll be at Zia in about an hour playin' and signin', see you all there. I know you're gonna be there.
Jeff: That's right, front row.
BC: (laughing) That's right, my friend, good to see you again. So uh, god bless you, thank you for sharing this evening with us, hope the rest of your night is fun, come see us if you can. Now you haven't done any signing meet and greets yet, right? This is your first.
Jeff: My first this week.
BC: Hahaha!
Jeff: This week.
BC: Jeff'll be there.
Jeff: I've done a few.
BC: What are we gonna play, Jeff? (off mic) Freebird, (on mic) Freebird.
Jeff: Yeah, right? [unintelligible].
