Today
D’arcy: Who was that guy who was ju - just walked across the stage right now, how the hell did he get up here? Jimmy, oh, oh yeah. Yeah, Jimmy Chamberlin. I never get to see him but he's always back there, I forget what he looks like. Thanks.
[encore break]
Iha: Thank you. Thanks a lot. You guys have been really nice. We're trying our best up here. Alright. We've been playing some new songs tonight, now we play an old song. An ode to Mellon Collie, we hope you like it.
