(BC after Jimmy solo: Ow! Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin on the drums!)
Iha: Thank you. How are you guys doin’? Is everyone having a reasonable time? Alright, alright.
BC: James, (coughs), James...
Iha: Yes.
BC: ...first of all, how you doin’ tonight?
Iha: I feel good. I feel great. Nice, moderate weather. Being here near Seattle, it’s...it’s nice.
BC: James, do you know where you are, you’re in Seattle, the land of grunge.
Iha: You know, I think I remember that time. Back--
BC: Do you remember...
Iha: Back in--
BC: ...do you remember when we were a young band? It’s -– I know it’s a long time ago.
Iha: No, I don’t...
BC: Long time ago...
Iha: ...I don’t remember.
BC: ...if we’d been like in Tokyo or Amsterdam or...god knows where we were and they’d be like, you guys are from Seattle, right?
Iha: It was -– it was a cool place, you had a lot of used books...
BC: And James--
Iha: ...um, coffee--
BC: James would rise up in a fit of anger...
Iha: Easy [unintelligible word].
BC: ...and he’d slam his fist on the table, he’d say, “No, motherfucker, we’re from Chicago.”
Iha: [unintelligible] the Bears. Pizza, pizza...
BC: They never heard of the Bears.
Iha: ...pizza. You got like--
BC: You know what they have here that we don’t have? The 12th man. Have the 12th man!
Iha: Alright, we’re gettin’ deep now. We’re gettin’ deep.
BC: The NFL actually changed the rules, the Seahawks get to play with 12 players, it’s unbelievable.
Iha: That’s cool.
BC: Competitive advantage. I know you’re a big fan of Russell Wilson.
Iha: Heh heh heh heh.
(crowd boos)
Iha: I like that guy Geno Smith.
BC: (laughing) He’s from Chicago.
Iha: Is he? No.
BC: No, no, he’s not from Chicago.
Iha: Heh heh heh heh. Da Bears.
BC: You know who’s from Chicago? You are. You are!
Iha: Actually, I’m from, uh...I’m from the suburbs and we’re very near Chicago, but...(laughing) it doesn’t mean –- go Cubs –- uh, it doesn’t mean anything, we shouldn’t be talking about this...
BC: Hahahaha!
Iha: ...we should get right back to the rock show ‘cause we’ve been workin’ really hard, yup.
BC: These people do deserve a great rock show, thank you so much for being such a wonderful audience tonight. And I would be remiss to not mention Rival Sons and Stone Temple Pilots layin’ it down to-night.
Iha: Nice guys, nice guys too.
BC: So we’ve prepared a special song for you tonight. That’s gonna blow those other bands off the stage.
Iha: Fuck those guys. They don’t know shit.
BC: We’re downtuned like the great grunge bands, we’re ready to play some acoustic grunge.
Iha: Actually we’re in standard E. 440.
BC: It’s a little song we’d like to dedicate to everyone here and it’s a little song we like to call Tonight, Tonight.

Iha: Thank you so much. We’re uh...we’re out here trying to rock. That was called Jellybelly. Here’s another rock jam.
BC: Hahahahahahaha.
Iha: What’d he say, what’d he say?
BC: A young man down here is either having a mental breakdown and aneurysm or he’s a big fan, I can’t tell the difference at this point.
Iha: From –- from over here, it just sounds like, “(makes noises)”. I mean, sounds like a fan to me. I’m glad you’re here.
BC: You know what’s wrong with this kid, you know what’s wrong with him?
Iha: I thought he was a fan.
BC: He wants to rock too hard.
Iha: Ohhh, ‘kay.
BC: That’s your problem: every night, you wanna rock too hard.
Iha: Too hard.
BC: I say calm down, man, just...enjoy your life. You still wanna rock?
Iha: (high pitched) I do!
BC: Heh! (laughing) How bad do you wanna rock?
Iha: Uh, you know.
BC: On a -– on a scale of one to ten?
Iha: Seven. Seven, a solid seven.
BC: These people deserve...nine!
Iha: Alright.
BC: Nine! He may be the robot but he has feelings.
