(BC after Jimmy solo: Ow! Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin on the drums! Ow!)

Iha: Thank you, thank you. How are you guys doin’? Thumbs up? Two thumbs up?

BC: James, they’re so stoned, they don’t even know what you’re saying.

Iha: Heh heh! People told me, this is where Jerry played...so uh, I guess that’s apropos. I don’t know though.

BC: ‘Member way back in the day, the I-Beam, remember those days, the I-Beam?

Iha: I-I do remember the I-Beam, there was a small club in San Francisc--

BC: The Cow Palace.

Iha: The Cow Palace! We’ve all been in the Cow Palace, we’ve all ridden cows in the Cow Palace, right? I’m just making that up but it seems like a great thing to do.

BC: James, how you feelin’ to-night?

Iha: I’m feelin’ great. Heh heh heh. How are you doin’? Reasonable?

BC: You want me to go into an existential...

Iha: No.

BC: ...dissertation about my state of being or you...

Iha: No.

BC: ...just want me to give a happy, friendly “I’m good”?

Iha: Are you good?

BC: I’m good...

Iha: Ah ha!

BC: ...I’m loving these people...

Iha: Alright, alright.

BC: ...what a great place to play.

Iha: It’s a beautiful night.

BC: We had a little soundcheck today and I looked over at James and I said, “You know, that’s where Jerry stood. Jerry stood right there.”

Iha: Let his flag fly high in the air. Heh!

BC: Anyway, we’re so grateful. He and I started this band about 36 years ago.

Iha: Oh my god.

BC: And it’s thanks to great people like you that we’re still here, so thank you so much for a wonderful evening. And wow, the cool thing about playing here is you can watch from the back in the video monitors – boy, Rival Sons and STP, wow, just an amazing...couple sets.

Iha: Big shout out to Rival Sons and Stone Temple Pilots, thank you...for a magic night.

BC: I thought to myself that, uh....

Iha: What’d you think?

BC: Heh heh! I thought how am I gonna beat these guys, this is great, they’re amazing, this is...

Iha: By smashing your acoustic guitar.

BC: ...they’re bringing the rock, they’re bringin’ the hits.

Iha: Right, how do you do that?

BC: So I sat backstage and I wrote a new song.

Iha: Alright. Is that that jazz one you’ve been doin’? I like it.

BC: Heh. It’s called If I Were a Carpenter.

If I Were a Carpenter (tease)

BC: (singing) If I were a carpenter...

Iha: It’s a good song.

BC: (speaking) I wrote it for you, by the way. (singing) And you were a lady, would you marry me anyway? Would you have my baby?

Iha: That’s a good one, I like that song, sounds like something I’ve heard before though.

BC: (singing) Save our love for sorrow, I’ve given you my onlyness, come give your tomorrows. (speaking) I’ve never been able to admit my feelings about you until right now.

Iha: Alright, we’ve got some more songs coming, don’t worry. We’re gonna go right back to the set, no more improvising here. We’re a professional rock group. Here we go.

BC: This is my favorite part of the show because we get to thank everyone for these 36 crazy years. So we dedicate this song to you, it’s a little song we like to call Tonight, Tonight.
