Silent Machines Intro
Glass and the Ghost Children / Le Deux Machina (acoustic)
(BC spoken word before outro: And every time she turned around, she saw another boy, another dream, another town, another life, another wish forgotten. She was all things to all people. A mother unto all men. But in her mystery, no one could find her. She had disappeared. Alright. (singing) And she counted the spiders, as they crawled up inside her. And she counted the spiders, as they crawled up inside her. As she counted the spiders, as they crawled up inside her. As she counted the spiders, as they crawled up inside her. Crawled inside her. (speaking) And everybody knew it was a joke.)
> Today (acoustic)
Stand Inside Your Love (acoustic)
BC: Thank you very much, thank you very much. We’d now like to play for you the first song written for Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, this is called Thirty-three.
Thirty-three (acoustic)
To Sheila (acoustic)
Blue Skies Bring Tears
Glass’ Theme
> The Everlasting Gaze
> Bullet with Butterfly Wings
> Once in a Lifetime / The Raven / Sabbra Cadabra
and you might ask yourself
just what am i doing in this place?
you might ask yourself
how do i feel to be a member of the human race?
you might ask yourself
what does this song mean if it has no meaning?
what does this song mean
when we send the twilight reeling?

letting the days go by
water flowing underground
into the blue again
water flowing underground

you might ask yourself
why do i steal her blood?
you might ask yourself
there’s no good in me
you might ask yourself
must i bide my fucking time in a brief sensitivity?
you might ask yourself
if i don’t know the fucking words, what should i do?

letting the days go by
water flowing underground
into the blue again
water flowing underground

wow!
go!
i want

into the blue and out into the black
we start the brace still out on the attack, sorrow knocking at the door
quoth the raven, nevermore
(escalating to screaming) more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more!!

wow!
go!
what the fuck do i want?

(song ends)

BC: Thank you very much. We are the Smashing Pumpkins, thank you very much for coming to our...rock and roll extravaganza. Earlier today, we did a puppet show in downtown Oslo. It was very good. Now we’d like to talk to you about the perils of speed. Yeah. Speed kills.
Speed Kills
> If There is a God
> Cash Car Star
> Rock On (partial)
(BC after Iha intro: Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gem. Judge and jury, people of the court. Yes. How’s everybody feeling?)
> Heavy Metal Machine
Disarm (acoustic)
Tonight, Tonight
BC: Thank you very much. We love you too, thank you. James, you know how to say “we love you” in Norwegian?
Iha: Uhhhh...uhhh....(in “Norwegian” accent) we love you! Yeah.
BC: Well, even though we don’t know how to say we love you, um....
Iha: (Swedish Chef noise)
BC: We will - we will say it in song. This is our last single, Try, Try, Try.
Try, Try, Try
> Porcelina of the Vast Oceans
BC: Thank you very much.
[encore break]
Iha: Thank you.
Cherub Rock
Iha: Gracias, thank you. How is everybody in Oslo? Woo, heh heh. Alright, I would like to introduce the band.
Celebrity Skin (tease - riff once)
Iha: Ow! On the piano, a maestro, a crazy guy, Mr. Mike Garson. Hell of a guy. Hell of a guy. All the way from the Windy City, Chicago, on keyboards, synthesizers and string sounds, Mr. Chris Holmes!
The Twilight Zone Theme (tease)
Iha: Woo. (high pitched) And on the bass guitar, all the way from Montreal, Canada, Miss Melissa Auf der Maur!
Smells Like Teen Spirit (tease - 1.5 times through riff)
Iha: You got that right. On the pummeling, pummeling, brutal, thirteen round kick your ass drummer, Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin!
Lucky 13 (tease)
Iha: And on the slithering vocals, crazy guitars, sonic architecture and science, Mr. Billy Corgan! It’s gonna be chilly tonight. Yes, thank you. Uh...I’m that guy, James, thank you. And now, more importantly, back to the rock.
Ava Adore (w/Sunshine of Your Love tease in intro)
[encore break]
Iha: Thank you again, thank you, thank you. You guys are rockin’.
BC: Thank you very much, thank you very much. Before we play our final song, we’d like to say thank you for a great concert, thank you. Thank you!
Iha: Thank you.
BC: No, thank you. Thank you. We hope you have had a good time.
Iha: I - we gotta give credit to the people up here, that is rockin’ that they’re....
Holmes: They’re like, flying.
BC: The people up there?
Iha: Yes, they’re flying! They’re way up there. (stoner voice) They’re even more high than I am, man.
1979 (acoustic, Jimmy plays guitar)
BC: I would now like to sing a special viking song. No, seriously. It’s in the key of G. It’s got more of a three lilt. No no, it’s very important that we get this right.
> Viking Song (improv)
(BC: I once was a viking / I met a girl to my liking / She said what happened to your hair / Don’t you care / (laughing through this line) Let’s discover America / Let’s get there first / ‘Cause America will one day be the worst country / Erik the Red / Long gone dead / Now his boat’s gonna be a zeal / But you can’t see him because he likes it / E minor / I once was a viking / Yes! / One more time / I once was a viking / Hold on, wait, shhh.... / Now I’ve lost my mind, heh / It’s a viking, I lost my mind, not me / I met a guy named James / He said he was from Sweden / I said “I’m glad to meet you” but I didn’t wanna meet him, you know what I mean / James is a viking / An honorary viking / Of the Swedish kind / What’s wrong with a Swedish viking?)
Iha: Uh...I think you forgot about all the uh, swords and fires and cutting off of heads and it’s all supposed to [unintelligible]! (knocks mic over, band starts again)
(BC: Have you heard the one about the German viking? / He played football / You don’t know that one? Okay, never mind.)
