BC: Thank you very much, thank you. Como esta? That’s--that’s Mandarin, right, como esta? How’s everybody doing, you okay? Smashing Pumpkins’ first time in Hong Kong. Over here, we got my man, Jeff Schroeder. Yeah! Three picks, man.
Jeff: For you. For you. For you.
BC: Hahahaha. What a great crowd, right? Thank you so much.
Jeff: Awesome.
BC: Now Smashing Pumpkins is all about positivity, embracing your freedom.
Jeff: Feelin’ good.
BC: Hahahaha. Having the right haircut. Gettin’ the right mustache.
Jeff: I just shaved my beard today.
BC: TMI, Jeff, TMI. On the drums, Mr. Michael Byrne.
Jeff: Casey. Casey (laughing).
BC: What’s that? Casey? Casey Burnburgh? On the bass, Nicole Fiorentino.
(Jeff and Mike play a '70s porn beat for a moment)
Nicole: Hello, hi. Shall I throw a pick too? Just the one.
BC: Are you a Belieber?
Nicole: Am I a Belieb--actually, yeah, I am. I kind of am.
BC: Are you Belieber? Are you Belieber? Heeeyy.
Nicole: That was the best pick throw I’ve ever done.
BC: Was that the special pick or what was that?
Jeff: Whoa, that was like a ninja star.
BC: Special pick. Well, uh...
Jeff: That one had her phone number on it.
BC: Oh. And hotel room.
Nicole: Yes, all the important....
BC: Yeaahh. Get lucky tonight. Well, this is the city to get lucky in.
Nicole: Is it?
BC: There’s so much love in this city.
Nicole: Feelin’ the love.
BC: So many places to disappear into.
Bridge of Sighs (tease - Jeff plays the intro briefly)
BC: You feelin’ the spirit of Jimi or what?
Jeff: More porno.
(Mike and Jeff play a porn beat again, followed by Billy and Jeff laughing)
Nicole: Um, so....
BC: And then of course there’s the American girl right here. Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! That’s my imitation American girl. Woo. “Which way to Hong Kong?” Well, we’re very happy to be with you tonight. Yeah. We’re about halfway through the show. Yeah. We’ve put the songs you don’t like at the beginning and then we put the songs you are gonna like at the end, so it’s gonna get better. Suddenly everyone speaks English. So it’s only gonna get better, this is the last bad song. Heh heh heh. ‘Cause I write good songs and bad songs and uh, so we gotta play the bad ones too. 'Cause if we just played the good ones your head would explode from the--the love. In fact Mike was in the hospital, his head exploded. From the love.
Nicole: From too much rock? From too much rock or too much love?
BC: Um...I don’t know how to put that into words.
Nicole: Rock love.
BC: I’m trying to keep it PG-13. Okay, so we have one more song here from our Oceania album. Thank you, I know four of you have bought it, thank you very much. Major sales in Hong Kong. I believe I was able to buy breakfast in my hotel on the royalties from the proceeds of our Hong Kong sales.
Jeff: Um....
BC: Heh. Incredible, incredible love. Anyway, so this is the title track from our album, it’s called Oceania. It’s a nice dark journey through the soul. If you have a soul. If you don’t have a soul, that’s cool, there’s other bands you could listen to. Oceania.

BC: Thank you very much, thank you. We hope that this isn't our only concert ever in Hong Kong so we hope to see you again. We don't always play this song. No, Whole Lotta Love. We don’t always play this song but we want to dedicate this song to you for making this a special night for us so thank you.
