(drum intro to Stellar begins)
BC: Good evening, thank you very much. We are the Smashing Pumpkins. I’m still happy to be in this band, uh, heh heh heh heh. What flag is that, I don’t know. Mexico? What? Where’s Mexico? Thank you very much for coming tonight, we appreciate you, we appreciate you.
Stellar
BC: Thank you. Like to introduce Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin. Although Jimmy is obviously a world class drummer...most don’t know that Jimmy’s first love was the tambourine. When he was about six months old, he got a little tambourine and he just started (imitates tambourine shaking), that was the beginning. A lifelong (trails off laughing).... He says this is the end. This is the end of Jimmy’s tambourine love, right here. Haha. Jimmy loves Frankfurt. Jimmy’s had some good times in Frankfurt. Nothin’ like a bottle of wine and some U.S. servicewomen. The ‘90s.

There is no past (x10). There is no future (x9). Now (x22).)

BC: Thank you very much, goodnight!
