Corgan: Thank you very much, thank you! Thank you. Well, you've survived the first part of the show, thank you very much for that. New York...they weren't sure about the first half of that show. Boston...little confused. You guys seem focused tonight, that's good. Gotta keep your game up. How's everybody doing, you okay? Yes...that sounded like a crowd at the end of the Cubs season, sort of like "Ehhhhh. Uhhhh. Ehhhh. Uhhhhh!" Everybody doing all right?
(cheers)
Corgan: Yeah! Yeah. Blackhawks fans! They're coming back, Jeff. They're coming back strong. After a thirteen year playoff absence, or whatever the fuck it is at this point! Jeff is our resident hockey fan, how many years has it been for the Hawks?...too long buddy, too long, heh.
Audience member: Go bears!
Corgan: Somebody just yelled 'Let's go Bears'. That's a desperate man. Huh, if you still believe at this point my friend, you're a desperate man. (hocks)
Audience member (Inaudible) Corgan: (coughs) Yeah, exactly. Anyway we'd like to uh, kick it down at this moment. Yes, kick it down. Slow - slow jams for you baby, right there. Some slow jams. That's right. That's right. Every night, slow jams for you. That's right. Heh heh...Chicago style, right here!
(cheers)
Now what is Chicago style, would you like to tell us?...a girl who likes to have fun? Right, okay. Number one. A good - a girl with a good rear end. Number two. That's right. Baby's got some back. We know it. Check it out! Check it out. Number three, standard issue Jennifer Aniston hair. Standard issue, for a Chicago girl...No-no-no-no-no? You're working more the Angelina Jolie...pre-Brad Pitt? What? What-what-what are we talking about here?...yes, God bless. See? We bore you and then we make you laugh. That's our gimmick, right here. I'd like to introduce the band to you. Starting on my far left...Ms. Gingger Shankar. Yes. To my right: Stephen. Stephen of Oakland. That's his design label. All the way from SoCal: Gabriel. Gettin' it done. To Gabe's left, Mr. Christopher Pooley. To his left, his betrothed...is that a word? Yes. Mrs. Ginger Pooley. On the keys, Ms. Lisa Harrington. On the drums, Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin.
(cheers)
Corgan: What'd you ever do for Joliet? Ha ha, ha...anybody from Joliet in the house? Yeah! Rockin' that...what is it, I-88? Rockin' I-88? Listening to Boston? Exactly. Anyway we'd like to kick it down...who am I, my name's Fred. Fred Durst, we're gettin' the Bizkit back together. Hang in there.
(Starts Once Upon A Time, stops)
Corgan:...oh, did I forget you? Ha ha ha! I didn't mean to! I didn't mean to. Ladies and gentlemen, an incredible guitar player. I'm gonna heap the praise, now. An unbelievable human being! Jeff "Shredder" Schroeder!
(cheers)
Corgan:...did I forget anybody else? Larry the gnome. Larry the gnome. Larry the gnome. I'd n-*ahem* I'd now like to sing a song about my deceased mother. But it's a song of hope. You'll understand.

Once Upon a Time
Again, Again, Again (The Crux)

Audience member: More cowbell!
Corgan: Yeah. *clears throat* It's all good, it's all good. Get it all out of your system, it's okay. It's all good, get it all out. Let it out. Now that we live in a democracy again, you can say whatever you want, you know? Let it ride, let it ride.
