BC: Good evening, thank you very much, good evening. Happy Easter, thank you for sharing your Easter with us. I guess this does confirm that we’re pagans and um.... We’re all going to hell for playing this concert, I know that. Not for working at it though, just for playing it, yeah, great. I’d like to introduce, uh, my long time friend and partner, Mr. James Iha.
Blew Away
Stand Inside Your Love
BC: Thanks. We have a new, uh, album coming out. Um, I know that uh, we just released a new one, but we have another album coming out of, uh, holiday songs and uh, this is, uh, one of the Easter songs that we’ve written, so this seems to be the right, um, occasion for the song. This is called Heavy Metal Bunny.

Iha: Hey, thanks a lot. How are you guys doin’? Are you still rockin’ with us? Great. ... We would like to bring back the symbolic bunny to the stage...in honor of Easter. I assume while you weren’t here at the rock concert, you were studying today. This is a university, right? No, you weren’t? What goes on here? What? Nothing? (1979 backing track starts) Okay. Let's dance.
