BC: Good evening, Manchester. Welcome to my rock and roll party. You’re lucky to be invited. Thank you very much for coming, we hope you have a good time.
Stellar
BC: Like to bring out Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin. (crowd chants for Jimmy) Jimmy would like to do a tambourine solo now. Shhh. Yes. Jimmy, Jimmy.
Perfect (Billy acoustic w/Jimmy tambourine)
Lily
BC: Thank you very much. We’d like to play a new song for you. You might wanna reserve judgment ‘til after you hear it. It’s the song called The Rose March, it’s from our new EP American Gothic.
The Rose March
Today
> Tarantula
> Stand Inside Your Love
> Ava Adore
BC: Alright! Now that we’re warmed up.... Everybody alright? This is Manchester, right? Goes like that, right? Madchester. This is a song I wrote when I was a young boy. Some of you right, uh--some of you might remember me when I was young, I was hopeful. I had dreams. I gave a fuck. I believed in rock and roll, uh...what else? What else did I know when I was a young man? Heh heh. Oh yeah, I believed in drug. That’s what this guy said down here, “I believe in drug.” Now I just believe in you, my man. I believe in you.

I wanna go back to Kansas, forever forever. I wanna see Auntie Em, forever. Where’s Toto? Forever forever forever forever. I wanna dream that’s so beautiful. Forever forever forever forever forever forever forever forever forever ever ever.)
