BC: Liz Phair, thank you.
Jesus, I / Mary Star of the Sea (Billy/Jeff acoustic)
BC: Thank you very much. So nice to see you, thank you. So, here we are night two of our three night run, awesome. Nowhere else in the world are we playing three nights in a row but New York City. Not Los Angeles and not Chicago...but New York City. So we appreciate it very much, we thank you humbly. We’d now like to enter the part of the show where we play some music from a particular era of the band’s past. In the past, we’ve done the Adore era. Bigger cheer on night two than night one for Adore. Heh heh heh. Last night, it was like “Adore? Is that - is that by Pearl Jam?” And uh, we’ve also done in the past the Mellon Collie era. But tonight we are featuring songs from the Siamese Dream era. So please enjoy this interlude of music, we like to call it the Siamese Suite.

Guy in crowd: We Only Come Out at Night, Billy! Right here, Billy, second row, right there.
BC: You’re in the second row? You’re in the second row, right? That - that’s, I can still kick you in the face from the second row. (Billy cracks up) Let’s just all relax. I’m the zen version now. Like to introduce the band to you before we run away. On the drums, Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin. Jimmy Chamberlin.
Bridge of Sighs (tease - Jeff)
BC: Jimmy wouldn’t kick you in the face, that’s why people like Jimmy. Jimmy would give you a drum stick and...tell you a story. On the guitar, the Shredder, Mr. Jeff Schroeder. Jeff Schroeder. On the bass guitar, our special guest, Mr. Jack Bates. What band are you in? Hahahaha. On the keys, vocals and many other things, Ms. Sierra Swan. Sierra Swan. And taking us tonight to Malibu, from the Celebrity Skin album by Hole, a song that I co-wrote in a younger year, Ms. Katie Cole.
