Pale Scales Heavy Metal Machine Rock On Age of Innocence Glass and the Ghost Children BC: Thank you very much. We are the, uh, Stumbling Pumpkins. It’s always good to be back in the city of brotherly hate. I mean love, love, love. Just kidding. God bless, thank you. I’d like to introduce, uh, he’s cute, he’s furry, Mr. James Iha. Blew Away Stand Inside Your Love Blue Skies Bring Tears I of the Mourning Le Deux Machina (tape) To Sheila (Billy acoustic w/Iha) If There is a God (Billy acoustic w/Iha) > 1979 (acoustic, Jimmy plays guitar) BC: Thank you very much. It’s a...it’s a...oh, it’s all about James now, okay. Iha: [unintelligible] BC: I was trying to talk before your popularity interrupted me. Iha: Your seven fans are now paying attention. BC: I’d like to introduce on the drums, Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin. Iha: Woo! BC: And on the bass guitar, Ms. Melissa Auf der Maur. Iha: [unintelligible] Ava Adore (acoustic) Mayonaise > I Am One The Everlasting Gaze Bullet with Butterfly Wings > Once in a Lifetime (partial - song ends after Billy chants “yes” during spoken word part but before the hard part kicks back in) BC: Thank you everybody, thank you. Whoever keeps throwing this particular CD, throw them at me please, instead of James. ... Yes. ... Yes. It’s sad when a balloon is more entertaining than the band, isn’t it? But we thank you, we thank you for your love, your patience, your attention, your devotion. It’s all good. Drown (BC at 7:16: God bless you, thank you.) [encore break] Blank Page BC: Thank you all so very much, thank you. Thank you, thanks. (laughing)  Well...we’ve come to the end of the road here. Want to say thank you to all of you, um, for coming tonight. Today BC: Thank you. Iha: Thank you. BC: Thank you. Thank you. Iha: Thank you, thank you. BC: Um, if I could just have your indulgence for one second. Um, I want to say, really, I know I keep saying thank you but I wanna say thank you because, um, I’ve had a really shitty fuckin’ night. Um, it’s true, it’s true, I’m the first to admit when I’m not very good and I don’t feel I’ve been very good and I feel very badly because I feel that everybody here deserves better than what I’ve given you. That doesn’t mean I didn’t try, I just, it didn’t really get there. But um, so um, I’m much better with song than, uh, talking so we’d like to play one more song from the bottom of our crummy black hearts. Um. James had a good night. Iha: Oh. No, that’s [unintelligible]. I did. Heh heh. BC: And, uh, Jimmy had a really good night. Melissa was, uh, pretty good. Iha: I did - I didn’t have a good night but my suit was good. That’s about the only consolation. BC: But I, uh, I pretty much sucked tonight, so um...it’s true, it’s true, I - the whole time we were doing Today, I was thinking in my mind, “Should I tell everyone how I feel?” and I thought “Well, I’m not afraid of anything so I’m gonna tell you how I feel.” That being said, um, by sort of breaking that sort of spell, I’d like to at least try to...um, summon up the, uh, correct energy in my for every aging body and um, express how we feel to you. So this is, uh, dedicated to all of you for coming tonight, we appreciate it very much. And just like Icarus, uh, sometimes we don’t fly because quite frankly, we cannot fly. For those of you into mythology. So this is a song by The Who that sort of describes, um, everything that we feel and uh, god bless. Join Together Iha: Thanks a lot. Thanks a lot everybody. Thanks for coming. Thanks for rockin’. [unintelligible.] Good night.
