(BC after Jimmy solo: Ow! Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin on the drums! Juh juh juh juh juh juh, (Satanic voice) Jimmy. Jimmy. Jimmy.)
Iha: How you guys doin’? You feelin’ alright? It’s hot out here in the nearby Motor City. Uh, thank you so much for coming out though tonight and uh, we’d like to thank Interpol for rocking with the darkness.
BC: James?
Iha: Yes?
BC: How you feelin’ tonight?
Iha: I feel great. It’s a beautiful hot night in Detroit, Clarkston, surrounding areas. It’s very nice. Lotta bugs though.
BC: James?
Iha: Yes?
BC: My memory’s getting a little spotty...
Iha: Yes?
BC: ...but do you remember playing this stage about 29 years ago?
Iha: Noooo, no. I don’t.
BC: Did you say no? Heh.
Iha: No, I’m sure it was great but I don’t remember. Did we play here?
BC: Lollapalooza, buddy.
Iha: Oh, hey! Hey.
BC: Were you there? Heh. Were you there or were you in the back doing cocaine with George Clinton?
Iha: Hahahaha! Coulda been, yeah--
BC: Were you in the back rapping with the Beasties?
Iha: I like those guys, uh, but I don’t remember, I don’t remember much.
BC: I almost asked you if you in the back breeding with the Breeders, but that’s.... You can’t do that anymore.
Iha: No.
BC: Although these days, you can breed with everybody.
Iha: Let’s -- let’s move on to a new subject. Uh, it’s great being here in the, uh -- is this Clarkston? I don’t know, I don’t know much.
BC: So James, thank you and thank these lovely people for 36 years of the Smashing Pumpkins. Mind blower, bro.
Iha: Mind blown.
BC: Mind blower.
Iha: [unintelligible word].
BC: So we’d like to take you back to those heady times of 1994. Play a little song we wrote back -- actually, right after we finished Lollapalooza, I think we wrote this song. If you know it, sing along. If you don’t, to quote Paul Stanley...you wanna quote Paul Stanley?
Iha: Uh, he’s got a lotta good quotes. Heh heh heh. I mean....
BC: Detroit Rock City, come on.
Iha: Oh!
BC: Heh! Should I just go on?
Iha: I have to look at the lyrics.
BC: Just keep going, right?
Iha: I have to look at the lyrics, but--
BC: It’s a little song we wrote back in 1994, we dedicate this to everyone here, thank you so much. It’s a little song we like to call...Dookie? No, just kidding. Little song we like to call Tonight, Tonight.
