Cardinal Rule (Billy solo acoustic)
Stumbleine (Billy solo acoustic)
Tonight, Tonight (Billy solo acoustic)
BC: Alright, alright, heh heh. (crowd keeps cheering) Heh heh. (more cheering) Wow. You forget what a bunch of rowdy motherfuckers you are. (more cheering) Heh. Heh heh. (more cheering) Alright, alright. Just remember, this is just an acoustic guitar. Heh heh heh. I can only compete so much. But uh, we have a beautiful night of music planned, we’re so happy to be here for this historic opening. So all I ask, all I ask is a little bit of patience ‘cause we have a beautiful night of music and if you let us get to it, I think you’ll be happy with what we’re gonna do for you tonight. But...like this guy over keeps talkin’, I’m gonna hit him in the head with the fucking guitar. So it’s a balance. It’s a balance. Now I, you know, I don’t wanna pull out my Johnny Manziel card or anything, I’m just gonna...(loud crowd booing)...I’m just - ach, no! No no, wait wait wait. No no, w - ho ho ho, hold on! (laughing) It’s in my pocket, my Manziel card’s in my pocket, I haven’t pulled it out yet. Anyway, back to music.

BC: Alright, you’ve made it this far, heh heh. Now, we’d like to focus for a spell on a particular period of the band’s...glorious past. As we step away from our effervescent future. Tonight we’ll be doing songs from the Siamese Dream era. So drunk and drunk alike, please enjoy what we like to call the Siamese Suite.

BC: That’s that spirit song, isn’t it? And uh, playing a song that I co-wrote with Ms. Courtney Love from the Hole album Celebrity Skin, we’d like to take you to the warm, quiet attempted shores of Malibu...where people just get stoned and sit in a circle and listen to what you’re doing. As opposed to drink a bunch of beer and...puke all over themselves at the end of the night, Ms. Katie Cole!
