BC: Thank you so much, thank you, awesome, thank you. What a beautiful crowd, thank you. We’re so humbled to be here, thank you so much. Now, we like to traipse into the past. Woo, the past, woo, in the past, woo. Heh heh heh. I love the past, yes, it’s awesome. I was there actually, believe it or not. Yes, I was there. Heh heh heh. Listen, if aliens replaced my body, they did a bad job, you know what I’m sayin’? Anyway, so in this part of the show, we like to look back at that particular era from the Smashing Pumpkins. In previous tours, we’ve done the Adore era, we’ve done the Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness era.... But tonight, just for you, nobody else, the Siamese Dream era. ... So please enjoy. And for those of you on drugs, this is called the Siamese Suite.

Now gentlemen, ladies...there’s a lot of young people here tonight so it gives me hope. ‘Cause sometimes we play in a bunch of - in front of a bunch of old people. They talk, they moan, they bitch, they yell for rat in a cage, so....
