(BC after crowd call and response: James, I don’t think these people are feelin’ it!
Iha: What the fuck? I’m kidding. Let’s put our hands together. That’s gonna get us into that feeling. Dallas, it’s gettin’ a little hot tonight. I can barely see the road. Reach down, ease the seat back. You know what I’m talking about? Van Halen, 1985 or ‘84. Alright. Are you feelin’ it, Dallas, Texas, come on?! Ow! I don’t know if there’s anything else I can bring up other than football that’s gonna get them more fuckin’ excited. Dallas Cowboys, Dallas cowgirls. That’s what people want, they want a live scrimmish on stage. Touchdowns, broken bones, concussions, you know what I’m talkin’ about. I’m just freestylin’, so go with me.
BC: Come on, come on, come on...)

(BC after lyrics finish: Ladies and gentlemen, we are the Smashing Pumpkins. 31 years and counting. Thanks to you. Thank you for being with us on this steamy, hot Dallas night. (crowd cheers)
Iha: Woo! Hot!
BC: We’d like to thank our brothers and sisters in AFI and Noel and his fantastic pernicious birds. Are you havin’ a good time? A quick introduction of the band: on the keyboards, from Australia, Ms. Katie Cole.
Iha: (Australian accent) Down under, (normal) Katie Cole.
BC: From the other side of Manchester, Mr. Jack Bates.
Iha: From the United Kingdom.
BC: From the mean streets of Los Angeles, Mr. Jeff Schroeder!
Iha: Jeff Schroeder.
BC: From the even meaner streets of Elk Grove, Illinois, Mr. James Iha.
Iha: Thank you so much.
BC: And from Joliet, Illinois, the man, the legend, the battering ram, Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin.
Iha: Jimmy Chamberlin...on the drums.
BC: This is now where I play a self indulgent guitar solo. (Billy solos))
> Ava Adore
(BC before bridge: Jeffrey! Look at all the beautiful people here tonight in Dallas, Texas. Can’t stand it, just can’t.)

BC: What night of the week is it, James, is it Saturday?
Iha: In true Spinal Tap mode, I don’t know what day of the week it is, heh heh heh.
BC: I don’t know what day of the week it is, I honestly don’t.
Iha: Uh, Dwayne just said it’s Saturday.
BC: Is it Saturday night?
Iha: It’s Saturday?
BC: Well, shit, we’ll just play all night!
Iha: I guess it makes it alright. I said, “Babe, I ain’t got enough gas.” Little Red Corvette.
BC: God bless you, James, god bless Prince, god bless everyone here, thank you so much for coming, we hope you had a great time! Hope we see you again soon, we dedicate this song to you.
