2008 Intro Tonight, Tonight > Tarantula > Stand Inside Your Love Mayonaise Today Gossamer BC: Thank you very much, thank you. (testing harmonica)  Anyone know how to use this thing? 99 Floors (acoustic) Owata (acoustic) Soma BC: Thank you, thank you! How is everybody, you okay? Are you okay? No? She’s not okay. Heh heh. You doin’ alright up there? Yeaaah. Heh heh heh heh. (coughs) Alright. You feeling good? Feelin’ good? Alright. ‘Cause if you weren’t feeling good, we’d stop the show and figure out what was wrong. You know I’m good at that, heh heh heh heh. Cherub Rock > Zero > Bodies United States A Song for a Son BC: Thank you, thank you. Thank you very much, Chicago, thank you very much. Yeah. That’s right. Ahem. Funny how all those motherfuckers who said we couldn’t come back were wrong. Exactly. And by the way, ahem, by the way, now that we got our stuff together, ahem, I think we’re about ready to go after all those lame fucking bands again. You know the bands they pass off as alternative, remember those bands? Exactly. Heh heh heh. Heh heh heh heh. Hey. I like this guy with the middle finger all show, this guy with the middle finger all show, aren’t you getting tired? You’ve had your middle finger up the whole show, now he’s got the evil hand, there you go. Turn that, haha, “fuck you” to an evil hand, there you go. Hahaha. God bless you. ... My point is, ahem, we’re not dead, we’re not going away. We certainly ain’t livin’ in the past. So I hope you’re ready, I hope you’re ready. Heh heh, exactly. That’s right. So since we’re not gonna play too many old songs anymore after these shows...heh heh heh, yes. Yeah, I know, whatever. Um, I did want to play this old song. It’s one of my favorites, now the guy with the middle finger again, I love it. You just tell me how the show’s going: evil hand, good, fuck you, bad, okay. Whenever a guy has a beard, there’s a problem, you know what I’m sayin’? It’s always the guys with the beards that write the mean reviews and the...blogging, heh heh. Anyway, this is a song off the, uh, Mellon Collie box set if any one of you have that. Whoever’s smoking all that weed, you’re making me really paranoid, hold on. I haven’t done, I haven’t done drugs in like eight years and there’s a lot of weed smoke coming this way, it’s like..... Anyway, hope you like this one. Medellia of the Grey Skies (Billy solo acoustic) BC: Like to, uh, thank the Frogs for opening up. For getting it together. One of the great bands of all time. I believe that with my heart. Communion (Billy solo acoustic) > Bullet with Butterfly Wings > Superchrist (BC at very end: Jimmy Chamberlin. Jimmy Chamberlin!) > Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun [encore break] Jesse Corgan: Hey Chicago! Ava Adore BC: That’s right, that’s right, that’s right! How’s it going, tambourine man? Jesse: Hey Billy, what’s up? BC: Heh heh heh. This is my brother right here. 1979 BC: Jimmy! Thank you very much, thank you. ... Oh, they’re cheering for you, haha. Thank you. ... We’d like to play one more song if that’s okay. Like to introduce the band to you. Mr. Jeff Schroeder on gee-tar. On the violin, straight from Carnegie Hall, Ms. Gingger Shankar. On the keys, Ms. Lisa Harriton. Heh. Heh heh. Do you need any introduction or...? Stephen on the horn. Gabrial on the other horn. On the other keys, Mr. Kris Pooley. Heh, I like when they get to you, they turn the lights off. Can we put the lights back on (laughing)? So we can see Kris? There you go. On the bass, Ms. Ginger Pooley. On the, uh, tambo, my little brother, Mr. Jesse Anderson. Jesse: HRC rules, yeah! BC (off mic): What? Jesse (off mic): HRC, where I work. My adventures in Chicago. BC: You’re giving a shoutout to your work? Hahaha, you’re unbelievable. And on the drums, Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin. Okay, before we play this last song...big J...  Now this man here and me, we just lost our grandma this past week. Right? Jesse (off mic): Yeah yeah. BC: So we’d like to dedicate this song to our grandma, Dorothy Hope. Jesse (off mic): Yes. BC: Alright, let’s play this one for grandma, alright? Disarm (acoustic)
