BC: Thank you very much, thank you very much. As some of you may already know, we just put out a new record. Who knows we put out a new record? Oh, that’s pretty cool, alright. Anyway, for those of you who don’t know, we just put out a new record, you can find it for free on the internet. You just gotta go look around and different fan sites have it for download. Yes, that’s right. And um, this next song that we’re going to play is our current single. You can find it on the Machina record and you can also find it on one of the EPs. This is a song called Try, Try, Try.

BC: Thank you, thank you so much, thank you. Thanks.
Iha: Thank you, thank you. Danke, danke. Grazi grazi.
BC: Couple of things. First, we’d like to introduce the band to you tonight. On the Jehovah’s Witness keyboards, Mr. Chris Holmes. And uh, the fact that this is our last tour, I’m very honored to be joined by my father, Mr. Mike Garson.
Iha: Seems like old times. Memories... You and dad. Seems like - it’s an old song they used to sing together as kids and, alright, I’m sorry, I’m getting sentimental.
BC: On e - on the...on the evil guitar, Mr. James Iha. On the very scary bass, Ms. Melissa Auf der Maur. Melissa will be joining Kyuss at the end of this tour. Oh yeah, no uh, it’s not Kyuss, what’s her name? Queens of the Stone Age, yes, she’ll be in Queens of the Stone Age. With her boyfriend Josh. On the, um, persuasive drums, Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin.
Iha: And least of all, least not...on the didactic vocals and guitars, Mr. Billy Corgan. ... And next, you.
BC: Heh, yes. We’d like to introduce you to yourselves. The audience. Without you, there wouldn’t be a band.
Iha: Without you, we’d be up here...jumping around like a bunch of jackasses.
BC: Heh, heh, I hate to tell you, heh heh heh.
Iha: It’s a very thin line. Thin line.
BC: Yes. And uh, lastly, we’d like to say thank you to all of our fans for the last ten years supporting us.
Iha: Keep the faith.
BC: When we put out our first album in 1991, this part of the world was really only one of the few parts of the world that got it right away so we’re eternally grateful to you for your support from the very beginning. We’ve only just recently convinced the Germans to come around to us, you know how hard that can be. So god bless you, thank you, we love you, enjoy.
1979 (acoustic, Jimmy plays guitar)
Iha: Thank you very much. Drive safe. Eat [unintelligible]. Hang out.
