=== Notes ===

* On the official release, a few lines of Billy's banter after "Everybody Come Clap Your Hands" are removed for unknown reasons (“Rock and roll, people.  This is rock and roll.  Don't forget it.”)

BC: Thank you very much, thank you!  Thank you.  Well, you've survived the first part of the show, thank you very much for that.  New York, they weren't sure about the first half of that show.  Boston, little confused.  You guys seem focused tonight, that's good, gotta keep your game up.  How's everybody doing, you okay?  Yes.  That sounded like a crowd at the end of the [[w:Chicago Cubs|Cubs]] season, it was sort of like "Ehh.  Eh.  Eh.  Unh."  Everybody doing alright?  Yeah!  Yeah.  [[w:Chicago Blackhawks|Blackhawks]] fans.  They're comin’ back, Jeff, they're comin’ back strong after a thirteen year playoff absence or whatever the fuck it is at this point.  Jeff is our resident hockey fan - how many years has it been for the ‘Hawks?

BC: Somebody just yelled “Let's go, Bears,” that's a desperate man.  Heh, if you still believe at this point, my friend, you're a desperate man.  Yeah, exactly.  Anyway, like to kick it down at this moment.  Yes, kick it down.  Slow - slow jams for you baby, right there, some slow jams.  That's right, that's right, every night, slow jams for you, that's right.  Heh heh.  Chicago style right here.  Now what is Chicago style, would you like to tell us?  A girl who likes to have fun?  Right, okay, number one.  A guh - a girl with a good rear end, number two.  That's right.  Baby's got some back, we know it.  Check it out!  Check it out.  Number three, standard issue [[w:Rachel_Green#Hair|Jennifer Aniston hair]].  Standard issue for a Chicago girl.  No no no no no?  You're working more the [[w:Angelina Jolie|Angelina Jolie]] pre-[[w:Brad Pitt|Brad Pitt]], what?  What-what-what are we talking about here?  Yes, god bless.  See?  We bore you and then we make you laugh, that's our gimmick right here.  Like to introduce the band to you.  Starting on my far left.  Ms. Gingger Shankar.  Yes.  To my right, Stephen.  Stephen of Oakland, that's his design label.  A heh heh, heh.  All the way from [[w:Southern_California|SoCal]], Gabrial.  Gettin' it done.  To Gabe's left, Mr. Kristopher Pooley.  To his left, his betrothed - is that a word?, yes - Mrs. Ginger Pooley.  On the keys, Ms. Lisa Harriton.  On the drums, Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin.  What'd you ever do for Joliet?  Hahaha, haha.  Anybody from Joliet in the house?  Yeah!  Rockin' that...what is it, I-88, rockin' I-88?  Listening to [[w:Boston (band)|Boston]]?  Exactly.  Anyway, we'd like to kick it down.

BC: Thank you, thank ''you'' for coming, thank you.  No, let's just, let's just enjoy the awkward moment, it's good, come on, enjoy it.  Breathe it in!  You don't get many anymore.  You don't get any.  Actually, you get some but you don't get many.  No, not many.  Pre-programmed society...to serve you, awkward moments written out of the script.  That's right, that's right.  ''(inhales)''  Just breathe it in, ''(inhales)'', it's good, I love it!  Love it.  Yes.  ''(crowd continues to shout things)''  Just let me know when you're done and we will pick back up the show.  Just get it all out, come on!  Just get it all out.  How 'bout up there, you got anything to say, come on!  Come on, there you go.  Yes.  Yes, there you go, see, it feels good to yell.  Feels good.  It's okay, I'm just a symbol, I'm not even here.  I'm zero, zero, nothing, there's nobody.  I'm not a human being, I didn't grow up here, I don't exist, I didn't write these songs, I'm not even here.  It's amazing.  It's a figment of your imagination.  Heh heh heh heh, a heh heh heh.  People!  People!  We're alive, right?  We're alive, yes?  Are you alive?  Yes, you, are you alive?, this man's alive.  That's what I wanna see, there we go.

BC: Ladies and gentlemen, that's the end of the show.  Yes.  Believe it or not, that's the end of the show.  It went by so quick, didn't it?  Just flew right by.  Hahahaha.  Ohhhh, you make me laugh.  So we'd like to dedicate this song to you before we leave.  It's from the bottom of our hearts.  ''(singing)'' Everything is beautiful in its own way.  Everyone is beautiful - ''(speaking)'' even you - ''(singing)'' in its own way.  ''(speaking)'' You know, after 20 years I know I speak for Jimmy and I...Jimmy's over there.

BC: Hahahahahaha!  Maybe like 19 but it's just flown by, hasn't it?

BC: ''(singing)'' Everything is beautiful in its own way.  Everyone is beautiful - ''(speaking)'' even you - in its own way.

BC: You know, when I go home tonight - yes, when I go home tonight - and I'm masturbating....

BC: One more song?  No, it's - believe me, if it took one more song, heh...if it took more one, heh....  ''(hits mic on head)''  If it took one more song to get you people off, believe me we'd do it.  Believe me, ''we'd do it''.  But you know....  But you know....  Sometimes crowds remind me of ex-girlfriends.  And you - you remind me of this one that took a lot of my money and didn't like me.  And she told me she loved me but she wasn't really there for me, that's what this reminds me of.  It's that kind of relationship, isn't it?  Have you ever had one of those relationships, Stephen? "Hell yeah!"  Heh heh, heh, no?  No?  You're in one now?  Heh, long time ago, long time ago.  Ladies and gentlemen, for 20 years, we haven't earned your...wait...wait, hold on, hold on, hold on.  For 20 years we have not yet earned your trust, have we?  Show of hands, who does not trust us after 20 years?  Come on, be honest, be honest.  This guy right there, he's not trustin' us, he's not trustin' us.

BC: Aw, heh, you might wanna check the record sales on that one.  We don't see the eh - the evidence of that in our demographics if you know what I'm sayin'.  Right?  Sometimes you just gotta reach out.  That's what we're tryin' to do right here, we're tryin' to reach out to you.

BC: 21 years ago, I did not know this man.  I do not know this man.  21 years later, I think I know you.  Right?  Hahaha!  It doesn't go anywhere from here, you might as well head to your cars, now is a good time.  Get that jump, get that jump in the parking garage.  Ladies and gentlemen, what we're tryin’ to say to you, we're trying to say to you is....  If you'd like to say it, come on up 'cause I - I'm just tryin’ to finish this thing up.  What we're tryin’ to say to you is...that we're happy to be back, number one.  Number two, it's always an honor to play for you so thank you for coming tonight, we do appreciate it.  Number three, this doesn't speak to everyone but many of you, we don't know what the fuck you want from us, okay, that's number three.  Last I checked, we are in an alternative band, alternative means different than what everyone else is doing, including those reunion bands that go out and just play the old songs.  So, for those of you we disappointed, we're sorry, we hope you give us another chance.  For those of you that love us, we're gonna torch you for 20 more years at least.  God bless.
