Banter[edit | edit source]

Iha: How is everyone? Feelin’ groovy? Ah.
Thru the Eyes of Ruby
D’arcy: Thank you, goodnight.
BC: (high pitched) Thank you!
Zero
BC: Hey everybody. Nice to see you all.
Tonight, Tonight
BC: Thank you very much. The fourth uh--the fourth concert that we ever played as a band was with Jane's Addiction in 1988. And I can tell you it's a real honor and a pleasure to open for them once again. Jane's Addiction is such an amazing band and we're very happy to see them playing together. They certainly have been a major influence on our music as well as many other bands and I'm glad to see that maybe people will realize how important they really are, so to Jane's Addiction, we love you, thank you very much.
Porcelina of the Vast Oceans
BC: Last song, people, thank you very much. Thank you for your time. See you soon.
Muzzle
Iha: Thanks. Goodnight.
