Iha: Thank you.  Chicago, Stairway to Heaven, Smashing Pumpkins, it all makes sense.  Cross it off the bucket list now.  Thank you so much.  I’d like to do a quick introduction of the band.  On vocals, keyboards, acoustic guitar, Ms. Katie Cole!  Katie Cole.  You can find her CDs for sale up front.  All the way from Australia.  And now, all the way from Manchester, England, on the bass, Mr. Jack Bates.  Ohhh way.  From southern California, now residing in the city of Chicago, Mr. Jeff Schroeder!  Jeff, what’s your favorite part of Chicago?  Heh heh heh, the United Center?  Do you come to [[w:Chicago Blackhawks|'Hawks]] games here?  What’s your favorite [[w:Chicago-style_pizza|pizza]]?  We’re gonna talk about this backstage, we had this whole thing about what the best deep dish pizza was.  If you wanna write online which is the best, okay, never mind, I’m just joking.  On the drums, all the way from Joliet, Illinois, Mr. motherfuckin’ Jimmy Chamberlin!  You know, I’ve never been to Joliet.  I imagine it’s a nice place.  I’m from a northwest suburb myself of Chicago, I’m James Iha, thank you.  And a man of the world, the whole world, on vocals, lead guitar, Mr. Billy Corgan!  Ow!  The man with the blue [[w:Fender_Stratocaster|Stratocaster]], thank you so much, you guys have been awesome.  We will rock some more and we will rock ''(high pitched)'' right now!

Iha: Heh heh heh heh.  Of the northwest suburbs, it’s - it’s a hardscrabble existence out there.

Iha: Thank you so much.  Thank you, Chicago.  It’s great to be here in the place of hockey, basketball - do they play baseball here?  Uh, but most importantly, it’s great to be - that you are here and we are humbled that we’re playing such a place like this, thank you so much.  This is our last jam.

BC: Just sayin’.  But we love everyone, we appreciate you so much, thank you so much for making this night possible.  [[The Smashing Pumpkins 2000-11-29|Last time we played this building]] was about 2000, so it means a lot to us to be back here with you. As you know, it’s better if I don’t talk so I’m just gonna say thank you, god bless you.  We have one more song, if you know this song, sing along.  If you don’t know this song, I don’t know what you’re supposed to do.
