BC: Thank you very much, thank you. We’ve reached that part in the performance where we feature an old album. For those of you disaffected by the previous music, pay attention because you get to relive some part of your past with us. But we enjoy doing it. And in the past, we’ve - we like to feature songs from a particular era, so we’ve done the Adore era, we’ve done the Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness era. Tonight we’re doing Siamese Dream era. So please enjoy what we like to call the Siamese Suite.

BC: Thank you very much, thank you very much, thank you very much. So we’ve reached the end of this particular journey. Yes. Sometimes when I say that, people cheer. It’s one of those litmus test lines. You know, Jeffrey...sometimes, sometimes I don’t understand the crowd, you know, it’s like what’s going through their mind, collectively. And here we are in Philadelphia.... And there’s this feeling in the area, there’s this like - it’s not unhappiness, it’s kind of a joy, [unintelligible] joy. And then, we’re playing these kind of sad songs and there’s a mood, I can’t put the mood and I’m like “Oh, it’s Friday night.” Party time, party time. Am I wrong or are you going home to bed? No Netflix in bed, nothing, just right to the bar. So before we hop away, like the bunnies we are, I’d like to introduce the band to you. On the drums, Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin. On the guitar, Mr. Jeff Schroeder. He’s [unintelligible]. [completely unintelligible sentence.] On the bass guitar and vocals, Ms. Sierra Swan. Sierra Swan. And taking us to Malibu, which is a song I wrote for the Celebrity Skin album with Ms. Courtney Love, Ms. Katie Cole.
