BC: [cuts in] I’m so happy you’re with us tonight. Thanks a lot, thank you! Now this is the part of the show where we take a look back to the past. I don’t like to live in the past but I like to visit, come back. So what we do is we focus on a particular period of the Smashing Pumpkins past. (crowd cheers) Hold that, you don’t know which part of the past yet. It’s, uh, it’s one of those. So in the past, we have done the Adore era--songs from the Adore era. We’ve done songs from the Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness era. (people in crowd chanting something) I don’t know what that means, but.... But tonight, we’re doing songs from the Siamese Dream era. I was there, Jeff. I was in the room. I’m not sure what happened but I was actually in the room when it happened. So sit back and enjoy what we like to call the Siamese Suite.

BC: Well, we’ve reached the end of the road. We’re at the end of the show, can’t believe it has gone by so fast. I’d like to play the other...300 or so songs I’ve written, but I just can’t, and uh, heh heh heh. (shrugs at Jeff) [unintelligible]? We’ll start with I Am One, Jimmy, just work down the line, right? So before we run away, I’d like to introduce the band to you: on the drums, Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin. (golf announcer voice) Jimmy Chamberlin. (crowd chants “Jimmy! Jimmy!” and he plays his kick drum along with it while pumping his fist) (normal) On the guitar, Mr. Jeff Schroeder.

BC: On the bass and the vocals and the keys, Ms. Sierra Swan.
Whole Lotta Love (tease - Billy plays first 5 notes of riff)
BC: And taking us all the way to Malibu, from the Celebrity Skin album by Hole, which I–-I think I co-wrote this song, not sure. Courtney gave me a pill and I just don’t remember anything after that, but my name was on the album. Ms. Katie Cole!

BC: Thank you so much, thank you. What a great evening to share with you, we’re really blessed to have-a you here, thank you. So real quick, before we end this night with grace, how ‘bout Liz Phair tonight, amazing, right? Now as some of you know, I have a ‘nother job, I work in professional wrestling. (crowd cheers) Wow, you got wrestling fans here, awesome. So there’s a couple people here that I work with that I really admire and I’ve–-and they’d like to say a couple words, they wanted to meet you. Please welcome “The Miracle,” Mike Bennett and his wife Maria.
Mike Bennett: Ow, uh, the thing is, I was trying to tell Billy earlier on that, Billy, I know you’re from Chicago, but I’m from Boston...(crowd cheers)...so Billy, as much as I love Chicago, why don’t we show Billy why Boston is the greatest city in the world!
(25 seconds of cheering)
Maria Bennett: Now I’m also from Chicago, but...I do have to say that I love the Smashing Pumpkins. So thank you so much, Billy, for having us and thank you to everyone on this stage but just because you guys are amazing!
BC: Let’s end this night with a selfie with everybody in behind us, what do you think? You have like a million followers, right, I mean...?
Mike: (off mic) I think I do.
BC: You gonna be in the shot with us? (picture taken of the 3 by Sierra Swan) (off mic) Thank you, Mike. (on mic) Boston. Okay.
Angie
