Silent Machines Intro
Glass and the Ghost Children / Le Deux Machina (acoustic)
(BC spoken word before outro: And every time she turned around, she ah – heh heh, she saw the faces of the boys that are chasin’ her. The boys that wanted to read her diary. The boys that wanted to watch her fingers burn inside her for eons. Dreams and feeling and wishes and screams long forgotten, you could not divide her in half. But still they wanted to know, it is our heart. (singing) As 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. As she counted the spiders, as they crawled up inside her. Crawled inside her. (speaking) She didn’t whine...at all.)
> Today (acoustic)
BC: Thank you very much, thank you very much, good evening.
Stand Inside Your Love (acoustic)
Thirty-three (acoustic)
To Sheila (acoustic)

Glass’ Theme
The Everlasting Gaze

you might ask yourself
just what am i doing in this place?
you might ask yourself
why don’t i feel like a member of the human race?
you might ask yourself
just what do i feel if i have no feelings?
you might ask yourself
what does this mean if it has no meaning?

once in a lifetime
water flowing underground
into the blue again
water flowing underground

yeah, you might ask yourself
just who does the singer think the fuck that he is?
you might ask yourself
must my eyes be based upon [1-2 unintelligible words]?
you might ask yourself
if there’s a god, is there a point where desire saves me?
you might ask yourself
is it love or am i just [unintelligible]ful?

once in a lifetime
water flowing underground
into the blue again
water flowing underground

whoa!
go!
what do i want?!

it’s the same as it ever was
same as it ever was
same as it ever was!
same as it ever was!!
same as it ever was!!!

ow!
(screams)
what do i want?!

(song ends)

(BC after Iha intro: Thank you very much, Snakey Tooth, thank you. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen...we know that the rock has overwhelmed you, we're going to give you a minute to catch your breath. Let you stretch your arms and (inhales) breathe in this beautiful air. It is London. Everybody take a deep breath...feel the essence. Yeah. Thank you very much for coming to our concert tonight.)

(BC right before end: That’s the end of our bullshit, thanks.)
BC: That’s what you call Chicago blues.
[encore break]
BC: Thank you, thank you! Thank you very much. Are there any songs you would like to hear?
Iha: Maybe a few songs. I would like to uh, thanks for, thank everyone for coming out tonight and uh, I would like to quickly introduce the band. All the way from Brooklyn, New York, on piano, Mr. Mike Garson. Lowers the heavens, a great job. On crazy keyboards, synthesizers and strange burbuling sounds, the mad professor, Chris Holmes. All the way from Montreal, Canada, the first lady of the bass guitar, the red vixen herself, Miss Melissa Auf der Maur. Thank you for that exciting accompaniment, Mike. And now, the bruiser, the cruiser, from Joliet, Illinois, on the drums, Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin! A hell of a guitar player too. Now on acoustic guitar up there. And now on crazy sounds, lead vocals, guitar, sonic destruction, Mr. Billy Corgan!
God Save the Queen (tease - Mike)
BC: And on lead guitar, on lead guitar, the next mayor of London, Mr. James Iha!
1979 (acoustic, Jimmy plays guitar)
Iha: Thank you very much.
