Iha: Let’s put our hands together. Mountain View, San Jose, the Bay Area, how are you? Last night of the tour. Time to get crazy. It’s gettin’ real hot in here tonight, I can barely see the road. Reach down, push the seat back. You know what I’m talkin’ about? Van Halen? Panama! Come on, you people! Can you feel it?! Nice! I think - I think they can feel it. I think they can feel it. One thumb up or two thumbs up? It’s a reasonable amount of two thumbs up, alright.
BC: Come on, come on, come on....)

(BC after lyrics: Ladies and gentlemen, we are the Smashing Pumpkins. 31 short years and counting. Thank you so so much for being with us tonight on this beautiful evening. We’d like to thank our brothers and sisters in AFI and Noel and his beautiful feathery birds. We’ve had a lovely tour and this brings it to a beautiful, orgiastic, orgasmic end. A quick introduction of the band if you will. On the keyboards from Australia, Ms. Katie Cole.
Iha: Katie Cole.
BC: From the other side of Manchester, Mr. Jack Bates.
Iha: Jack Bates.
BC: From the mean streets of southern California, Mr. Jeff Schroeder.
Iha: Jeff Schroeder. Let’s hear some Kiss.
BC: From the vicious back alleys of Elk Grove, Illinois, on the guitar, Mr. James Iha. And on the drums, the one, the only, Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin.
Iha: JC, JC.
BC: James, do you think these people want a little bit of guitar?
Iha: You wanna hear William Patrick Corgan play some guitar?
BC: You should! I heard solos are out.
Iha: In - I think they’re back in.
BC: Right here, right now.
Iha: (after a moment where Billy's guitar isn't working) Maybe not. Jeff, take over. (Jeff solos for a moment until Billy's works) Gonna funky that shit up.
BC: (post solo) That’s all I got.)
> Ava Adore
(Iha over opening loops: Don’t worry, we got Ava Adore here.)
> Radio Intro tape
> 1979
Iha: Thank you so much! Mountain View, San Jose...the Bay fuckin’ area. Thank you so much, you guys are great.
Tonight, Tonight
Blue Skies Bring Tears / Comfortably Numb
BC: Thanks so much, ladies and gentlemen, thank you, thank you, thank you. We have to run away now. Though you have liberal drug laws, you still have a curfew, I don’t know how that works but....
Iha: That’s California.
BC: Quickly, before we bid you adieu, I’d say thank you one last time. I’d like to dedicate a song to a man many here know very well, Elliot Roberts, Neil Young’s manager. And of many others, including Zwan. Elliot passed away recently, so I’ve been here many times because of the Bridge School. James and Jimmy and I. You too? (meaning Jeff) That’s right and Josh Groban. Anyway, like to send a prayer up to Elliot, thank him for all the great music that he brought to us. And uh...thanks for the drugs, I don’t know.
Iha: Let’s rock.
BC: You still got it in you?
Iha: Oh yeah.
BC: Do you have the rock in you?
Iha: I got the Cherub Rock in me.

Iha: Thank you, goodnight. Thank you so much.
