BC: ''(sings)'' “It was the heat of the moment,” ''(speaks)'' I was right there. And thanks to Asia, I’m here right now. That’s right. Actually, Jimmy, wasn’t [[w:John_Wetton|John Wetton]] in Asia? Right? He was the bass player and singer, right? Does anyone remember John Wetton? Right? Here’s a funny story: we were working on Siamese Dream and uh, ''(crowd cheers)'' we went in to mix the album - yes, not a bad album. We were - we were mixing Siamese Dream in [[w:Captain_&_Tennille|Captain & Tennille]]’s studio, that’s a true story. The Captain was runnin’ the studio. Seriously, this is not a Pumpkins joke, this is truth now. Anyway, so uh, we had this guy, it's an older guy, he didn’t - he kept saying, “What is that that you guys are doing with this record? I don’t get all the guitar overdubs and all that,” he didn’t understand, so he left after one week of mixing Siamese Dream with us as an engineer to work on [[w:Voice_Mail_(album)|John Wetton’s solo album]]. I think the uh, John Wetton album went on and sold like, what, 10 times platinum? So he made the right call on that one. Actually is a...he died in a fiery car crash because he fucked with us. That’s just the way we get shit done in Chicago, right? Whatever we gotta do to get a fuckin’ president, get the fuck out of our way, we got a president now. The one guy booing Obama. Hey, man who’s booing Obama, I’d like you to identify yourself. Where’s the a booming O? - you’re the booing Obama guy? Are you related to [[w:John_McCain|McCain]], what’s the deal? Or did you have sex with [[w:Sarah Palin|Sarah Palin]]?, that’s what it is. Alright, well there you go. I knew I’d hone in on it, I’m really psychic, I just go right there. Anyway, thank you for coming tonight, I’m sorry I’m a little sick, I can’t really help that part of it but I’m really happy to perform for you. Thank you for singing along, making it easier for me. You are ''by far'' a better crowd than [[The Smashing Pumpkins 2008-11-18|the first night we had in the Chicago Theatre]], ''by far''. I don’t know if those - I felt like I was on a uh, like a, [[w:America's_Next_Top_Model|America’s Next Top Model]] thing, where they’re in the audience and we’re just on stage in the back, that’s what I felt like over there. That’s right, Chicago over there didn’t do us right, but Chicago tonight’s doing us right, thank you very much. ''(strums guitar a couple times)'' Yeah, I like - I like my acoustic so much I’d like to hear it ''(strums once)'', there you go. Um, anyway, like to introduce the group to you right now. First and foremost, Jeff Schroeder on guitar. On the double violin ''(pronounced “vee-o-lin”)'', Ms. Gingger Shankar. To my far left...heh heh, Stephen of Oakland. To ''his'' right, heh, my left, Gabrial of the O.C. No? No? What’s that, L.A.? You’re L.A.? Ah, I thought you guys were O.C. No Doubt wasn’t O.C.? Oh, they brought you on ‘cause the O.C. couldn’t get it done. | BC: ''(sings)'' “It was the heat of the moment,” ''(speaks)'' I was right there. And thanks to Asia, I’m here right now. That’s right.
