(BC after call-and-response part: James, I don’t think these people are feelin’ it.
Iha: Irvine, the greater Los Angeles area, put your hands together. It’s Thursday night, it’s time to party. It’s gettin’ a little hot tonight. I can barely see the road. Ease the seat back. You know what I’m talking about? David Lee Roth, Panama, Van Halen! What the fuck are we doin’ here?! Are you feelin’ it, Irvine?! I think they’re reasonably into it. You having a...two thumbs up time? Alright.
BC: Come on, come on, come on...)

(BC after lyrics finish: Ladies and gentlemen, we are the Smashing Pumpkins. 31 short years and counting. We’re so pleased you’re with us here tonight. Out here in the...middle...of the desert. We’d also like to thank our brothers and sisters in AFI and Noel and Those Pesky Birds...
Iha: Beautiful Birds.
BC: ...laying down the harmonies. Thank them so much for being on such a great bill with us, we’re so proud to play with these great bands. A quick introduction of this band. All the way from Australia, she used to live in Los Angeles, not anymore, Ms. Katie Cole.
Iha: Katie Cole, Katie Cole.
BC: On the bass, from the other side from Manchester, he’s not sure if he ever will live in Los Angeles but he’s considering it, Mr. Jack Bates!
Iha: Jack Bates, United Kingdom.
BC: On the guitar, a native of Southern California...no longer residing in the California area, Mr. Jeff Schroeder.
Iha: Jeff Schroeder.
BC: On the guitar, from Elk Grove, Illinois, now residing in the Southern California area, Mr. James Iha! And on the drums, he used to live in Southern California, not anymore! He’s come home, unlike some people who’ve run away from our grisly, grim Midwestern roots, Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin!
Iha: Jimmy Chamberlin, put our hands together.
BC: My name is William Patrick Corgan. And when I’m not breakin’ hearts...I’m layin’ down some leads. (Billy solos))
> Ava Adore
(BC before bridge: Jeffrey, look at all these beautiful people here tonight. As far as the eye can see.)

Tonight, Tonight
Blue Skies Bring Tears / Comfortably Numb
BC: Thank you so much, ladies and gentlemen, we have reached the end of our show! Hard to believe, hard to believe. We’ve played -- hahahahahahaha! Have you had a good time? James, have you had a good time?
Iha: This guy just gave us the finger! Hahahaha.
BC: Hahahaha. He's mad 'cause--
Iha: Oh, wait wait, (gesturing shaka sign).
BC: He’s mad ‘cause I gave the finger when they were takin’ their selfie.
Iha: Oh, jesus christ.
BC: Now it’s gonna be a meme.
Iha: What’s that?
BC: You know, I’m really worried ‘cause these memes are hurting our record sales. Heh heh heh.
Iha: Nobody sells records.
BC: And I was hopin’ for that invitation to next year’s MTV Awards.
Iha: What’s that?
BC: Hahahahaha! MTV! Must...vagina...terribly?
Iha: Music.
BC: Music!
Iha: Music on TV.
BC: Heh heh heh heh heh. We love you, we appreciate you! Thank you. Although I jest, Southern California is home to many of us. It’s where I came this last winter to write the new Pumpkins record. We love and appreciate you so much, our history is so tied to California, there wouldn’t have been a Smashing Pumpkins without California. I mean, there would’ve been but...(Iha cracks up on mic)...we wouldn’t be here because you wouldn’t know who we were.
Iha: There’d be less smoothies.
BC: Less memes. Anyway, we dedicate this song to you, god bless you, see you again.
