''( | (BC: Ladies, gentlemen, friends, lovers, beasts or fowl, welcome to the show. We are the illuminated, the illustrious, the ill-timed knock. ''(two snare drum hits)'' Ah yes, we are the fractured, the schisms, the rift and the rabble, the sleepy clown, the atomized downs, the dreams you stopped dreaming oh so long ago. Yes, all colors mixed and marred make up the black, as do all numbers fix up the zero, zed and null. So let’s go back to your beginnings, as I shall go back to mine. It won’t last, it’ll be quick, but then again, that’s why we’re here. No past, no future, no sun. So let’s blow on fading embers, to boast about kings near, forgotten and buried. Tis the end. Tis the end. Tis the end.) | ||

Iha: Thank you so much, Philadelphia. As a young man playing guitar, I could’ve never imagined playing Stairway to Heaven in an arena. Uh, quick introduction. On the keys, guitars, vocals, she’s not onstage, Katie Cole. Katie Cole, she’s got CDs out front, check it out. On the bass, Mr. Jack Bates. He’s from England. On the guitar, Mr. Jeff Schroeder. Nice. On the motherfuckin’ drums, Jimmy Chamberlin! I am James Iha. On lead vocals, lead guitar, Mr. Billy Corgan. Yeaaahh!! Oh, sorry, I just lost my mind for a minute. Let’s get back to the set, it’s a really cool set we’ve worked out. We’re not going to go into that, that’s just for the practice room. | Iha: Thank you so much, Philadelphia.

(Mark McGrath: Well, wowie zowie, papa ooh maow maow. What a wang dang and doodle of a show. And, it ain’t over yet. Now I don’t know about you but this next tune is one of my faaaaaaves. Reminds me of driving down the old PCH, high out of my mind on ecstasy and I’m singing the chorus of the song you’re about to hear so hard and so on high, that one of my front teeth fell right out! Yup, plain out right there in the dashboard. Wow. That dickens (?) just, just so good, wasn’t it? I mean, here you have young wash masters rising up to start a musical and cultural revolution that was soon co-opted by the machine and driven asunder! Gee golly. But thankfully, what we got in return was just so much better. I mean, let’s face it, who doesn’t want perfection in their stars above? ‘Cause perfect people making perfect, sweet music is, well, it’s just, it’s just what a god wants for all of us! Whoo! Red light, stop, it’s rain. The air is cool and the sky is gray and the year? Well, it’s 1979!) | (Mark McGrath: Well, wowie zowie, papa ooh maow maow. What a wang dang and doodle of a show.
