Somebody in crowd: (referencing Cubs score) Three to one!
BC: No, this isn’t where you yell dumb shit, there’s no dumb shit tonight. All good vibes. Thank you.
Guy in crowd: Sing us a song!
BC: Thank you, thanks for giving your permission to sing. So, this is the part of the show where we look back at an album from the past. And we enter a particular era: in the past, we’ve done the Adore era, the Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness era. But tonight, we’re doing the Siamese Dream era. And who better to kick off the Siamese Suite with me than Mr. James Iha.
