(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.)

(Mark McGrath: Well, hello there, neighbors! Are you enjoying the show thus far? Well, good, I am too, even though I’m not real. Now, if I could steal a moment of your time, I’d like to introduce somebody verrry special to you. He’s been a friend and a neighbor to each and every one of you. He’s been the voice you might hear in the stiiill of the night or a night dog straining against the moon. And, in fact, this young man has been with you almost every step along the way on life’s long journey, sighing so ever soft. He’s been a lover, a fighter, but never a cad. A beacon, a searchlight piercing every impenetrable fog. And he’s here, just now, to sing for you, that golden chestnut we like to call Blew Away. So gather round, ‘cause here he is: the one, the only, Mr. Jaaaaames Iha.)

(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 drivin' down the old PCH, high out of my mind on ecstasy and I was 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 decade was 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 raining. The air is cool and the sky is gray and the year? Well, it’s 1979!)

Bullet with Butterfly Wings
Iha: We have one last song. And uh...it’s so great being here, thank you.
BC: We appreciate you so much, thank you so much. Now, (clears throat), excuse me, now it’s not very showbiz of us to point this out but our high fallutin’ screen broke down tonight.
Iha: God darn it!
BC: It’s the rigamarole, it (gestures).... Did you know that screen broke down, James?
Iha: I’m just playing--trying to play my guitar.
BC: You were rockin’ so hard, you didn’t see what was going on with it.
Iha: I’m just tryin’ to play my guitar.
Whole Lotta Love (tease - Billy plays first 5 chords)
Iha: We’re professional. Been doin’ this a long time.
BC: So, to everyone that’s still here, thank you for doin’ this crazy show with us.
Iha: I’m just tryin’ to play my guitar.
BC: When we were young men, we used to play about three hours and 15 minutes and now that we’re older, we can only play three hours and 10 minutes.
Iha: That’s what happens.
BC: But here’s the crazy thing.
Guy in crowd: [unintelligible]!
BC: God bless you, my friend. 4:20, man, just 4:20. Heh heh, is pot legal in this state?
Crowd: NO!
BC: (stoner voice) What the fuck, man? (gesturing “come on”)
Iha: I thought they were gonna light one up during Stairway.
BC: You wanna smoke a doob after the show, James? Oh, it’s illegal, sorry!
Iha: Nah, that’s cool, that’s cool.
BC: You know, bands like Sabbath sleep, the Pumpkins were known as stoner bands.
Iha: Really?! Are we a stoner band?
BC: No no, we’re not a stoner band, we’re more of an LSD...uh....
Iha: Pop thing, LSD pop rock.
BC: Morphine or something. And uh, what d’you call it? Prozac. Anyway, heh heh, heh heh, I don’t wanna end up on somebody’s YouTube thing, you know what I mean, so I’m just gonna play my guitar. But again, thank you so much, we’ve had a great time, we appreciate you so much. If you know this song, please sing along.
