To Sheila
Iha: Thank you. Thank you very much. Is everybody having a reasonable time? Uh, Billy's getting over a rough throat and we're trying to carry on. They were saying it's uh, I guess a local greeting, I've been giving it to all these people and it doesn't seem to translate, I guess, as the way it should be. Um, heh heh heh. This next song which we will get to after a five minute jazz experience, we uh - it's an old, it’s an old song. I know you haven't heard many of the new songs, but they're really, the new songs are really nice, you just don't know 'em yet. There's, there's a song on the album where we brought in a couple singers from a few boy bands: from Westlife...and from America, Backstreet Boys. And we're hoping to make the crossover that we've been trying to make for years and uh.... Uh, heh heh. Alright, okay, are we ready to rock? Now - now we will rock.
Cherub Rock
Ava Adore (w/Smells Like Teen Spirit tease in intro)
BC: Thank you very much, thank you very much, thank you, thank you. Thank you very much. We'd like to play one more song for you this evening, it's another new song, it's called I of the Mourning.
I of the Mourning
[encore break]
Iha: Thanks a lot, thanks a lot. On drums and now guitar, Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin. On sick lead vocals and guitar, Mr. Billy Corgan. On the bass (pronounced like the fish) guitar, Miss Melissa Auf der Maur.
BC: From Canada. She's from Canada.
Iha: Canadian socialist.
BC: And who the fuck are you?
Iha: Um, I can't think of a quick quip, who is that guy they're talking about in the paper, uh, Archer or something? I don't know, I can't think of anybody.
BC: You're Mike Tyson! You're Tyson! Or you're fighting Mike Tyson, that would be better.
Iha: Alright, I - yes. I’m going to fight Mike Tyson.
1979 (acoustic, Jimmy plays guitar)
BC: God bless you, god bless you very much, thank you, goodnight.
