BC: Thank you very much, Nashville, thank you. Welcome to our show, thank you very much. Now, we take a look back at a past era of the Smashing Pumpkins. And for a little time, a little spell...we waltz around in a particular era. Now in the past, in previous In Plainsong tours, we’ve played the Adore era songs, we’ve played songs from the Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness era. But tonight, songs from the Siamese Dream era. So please, sit back and enjoy what we like to call the Siamese Suite.

BC: Thank you very much, thank you! Ladies and gentlemen...and others, we have reached the end of this particular journey so we’d like to thank you very much. Before we run away and we retreat into our fragile ego musician souls, like to introduce the band to you. On the drums, Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin. Jimmy Chamberlin. (long cheer) It’s amazing they always like you better than the whole show. (laughing) I don’t know what it is. On the guitar, Mr. Jeff Schroeder. On the bass guitar, vocals, keyboards...and serenity, Ms. Sierra Swan. And taking us to the shores of Malibu, all the way from Australia, now living in Nashville.... I don’t know how you got from Australia to Nashville, that’s a whole story right there. So from the Celebrity Skin album by Hole, a song that I co-wrote with Ms. Courtney Love, ladies and gentlemen, Ms. Katie Cole.

Billy Swan: The - the Smashing Pumpkins knocked my socks off, what about you?
