Silent Machines Intro
Glass and the Ghost Children / Le Deux Machina (acoustic)
(BC spoken word before outro: And everywhere she looked, she saw the faces. The ones she had dreamed about in silent moments. Trapped in a suburban home in a suburban mindset. Trapped in the suburbs forever. She wrote her dreams in her diary and she placed them underneath her bed and she said, “One day, someone will marry me, someone will love me for who I am. And everything’s gonna be alllright.” (singing) As she counted the spiders, as they crawled up inside her. As she counted the spiders, as they crawled up inside her. As she counted the spiders, as they crawled up inside her. As she counted the spiders, as they crawled up inside her. They crawled inside her. (speaking) But that was alright ‘cause she knew their numbers and where they lived.)
Today (acoustic)
BC: Good evening, good evening, good evening. How’s everybody doing, you alright? We'd like to thank the Smashing Pumpkins for letting us open for them tonight. Yes. We'd like to do a song from Machina 1, this is called Stand Inside Your Love.
Stand Inside Your Love (acoustic)

Iha: Hello. Hello, Chicago. How are you? Is everybody having a reasonably good time? Yes? Power to the people.
BC: I always - I always wondered what you mean by that: "reasonably." What does that mean?
Iha: Reasonably? Uh, it's relative as, is this as good as a uh, a Jimi Hendrix concert in '68 or uh, as good as uh, I don't know, a Limp Bizkit concert?
BC: A what?
Iha: Uh, Stone Temple Pilots concert?
BC: Alright, alright.
Iha: But everybody's having fun. Okay.
BC: You know uh, this concert's being broadcast tonight over Q101. Anybody wanna say hello? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait a second. How hard was it to get this ticket? Do you want to say hello to the people at home? Ah, that wasn't so good.
Iha: I couldn't make that out.
BC: We'd like to play uh, a song from our first album. This is called Rhinoceros.

(BC after short Iha intro: Alright alright alright alright alright alright. It’s time to chill out this rock and roll party for a second. Take a deep breath. Ahhhhh. Ahhhh.)
> Heavy Metal Machine
BC: Thank you very much, thank you. I'd like to thank everybody very much for coming tonight. It's been a pretty crazy 13 years and uh...I'd like to say on behalf of my band that we know we've been very difficult at times and uh, not always the nicest, but I think in our hearts, we - we have a lot of love for our audience and um...I think the most important thing at the end of the day, with our band and - and, our relationship with uh, our fans, is that we care, we love you, we love ourselves, we love you, we'd like to thank you very much. Well, that was not a very good speech so I'll start again. So in uh - yes I love you too. So in honor all that - of all that, in honor of all that, I'd like to play a song for you, it's uh, one of my favorite songs that we've ever done and um, feel free to sing along if you know the words.

Cherub Rock
Iha: Thank you. Thank you very much. I would like to introduce the band. All the way from Brooklyn, New York, on the piano, Mr. Mike Garson. He's a good man. Hell of a guy. From Chicago, Illinois, on electronic keyboards, stuff and crazy sounds, Mr. Chris Holmes. And now, from Montreal, Canada, home of the liberal government, socialist, Miss Melissa Auf der Maur. And now, from Joliet, Illinois, bruisin' for a cruisin', pummeler of the drums, the invincible Jimmy Chamberlin. Jimmy was good tonight, wasn't he? He was rockin'. And now, center stage, lead vocals, crazy guitar sounds, songwriting, other sounds, Mr. Billy Corgan. Thank you, Mike, for that fine rendition of Chicago.
BC: And, all the way, all the way, I know, I know, we've had this talk. All the way from hell, Mr. James Iha!

BC: Thank you very much, thank you. And now, the time has come. Oh yeah yeah yeah. James.
Iha: Yes? What up. Well, we have reached the end of uh, this raucous concert and um, I, we, would like to thank everybody for coming out tonight. Um, you rock and we appreciate everybody's support for the last six million years that we've been around and we'd like to thank all our families and all our friends for coming out and uh...I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all. And now we will do one last jam for you. Wearing a Chicago Blackhawks jersey. My god, isn't it crazy? That's a rather strange looking uh, rock and roll garment you have on there. It goes well with your skirt there.
BCs: James, for thirteen years I've been listening to your stupid jokes and I've had enough!
Iha: I've had enough of your stupid jokes for the last thirteen years. And now, we solidify it by playing one last jam.
BC: Before we play this last song, let us say thank you very much again for thirteen amazing years.
Iha: Rock.
BC: I think it goes without saying that Chicago is the greatest place on this planet.
Iha: It's a very interesting city. Very diverse culturally, racially.
BC: I would like to see a winning hockey team again. A winning basketball team again. I would like to see the Cubs win one of these years before I die. Oh yeah, there's that other baseball team, it's a minor league team, the Sox? I'm sorry, I'm a Cubs fan, I can't help it. So everybody, sing along with us on this final song. We love you very much and thank you very much.
