Jesus, I / Mary Star of the Sea (Billy/Jeff acoustic)
BC: Thank you very much. (lots of crowd cheering/yelling) You might as well get it out of your system now, it’s a long show. So, thank you very much for being here, we’re happy to be here with you. Thank you. We now like to play, uh, songs from a particular era of the band’s past. The beautiful thing is, uh, this section of the show tends to shut up the people who are still waiting for the Smashing Pumpkins to come onstage. Believe it or not, I actually wrote some of these songs. Um, I was in the room when they were recorded, I was actually there. You know in the past we’ve done songs from the Adore era, the Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness era but tonight, just for you, songs from the Siamese Dream era. So please enjoy what we like to call the Siamese Suite.

Old school me would’ve said something. Anyway, we’ve reached the end, we hope you’ve enjoyed the show. Thank you for that. Before we run away, we like to introduce the band to you. On the drums, Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin. (long cheer) Jimmy Chamberlin. On the guitar, the Shredder, Mr. Jeff Schroeder. On the bass, the vocals, the keys, Ms. Sierra Swan.
