> United States (abandoned in middle of 1st verse, 3rd line)
BC: Alright, stop. My shit’s fucked up. My amp done broke. ... (Billy soundchecks his guitar for a moment) That sounds like shit. ... Asheville done got to me. Sorry. My amp, I think, blowed up good. ... Sorry, we gotta take a five minute break, sorry.
[set break]
Suspiria Intro
United States / Star Spangled Banner
BC: Sorry, we’re still having amp problems. I need to take a couple minutes to talk to you about life and love. But first, we encourage you to buy our limited edition Smashing Pumpkins Zeitgeist 4:20 shirts. Only 250 in existence. Official SP merchandise, we do not encourage the use of marijuana. We only celebrate the fact that you do use it. My lawyer made me say that. In fact, as you all know, we all discourage all forms of drug use, as our twisted lives can testify. Yeah. But we encourage you to fuck like dogs. Safely! In your Smashing Pumpkins Zeitgeist 4:20 shirt. Now I’m about to give you a guitar demonstration. ... Sorry. I guess I have to give you your money back because we’re gonna have to cancel the show. Them’s just the breaks, kid. But how can I do the show without effects, Jeff? Just gotta go for it. I’ll tell you what, if shit blows up again, I’m losing it for the first time in like seven fucking years.
Lucky 13 (abandoned before lyrics start)
BC: Stop. Shit ain’t working. (lots of guitar noodling) I don’t know! Let’s just tell stories and get to know each other. ... Alright, we think we can make it work but it’s gonna be another couple minutes, sorry. Uh, heh heh, I’m not one to talk much, but, uh...it’s a skill I can learn, Jeff.
Multiple crowd members: Drum solo!
BC: No, we don’t believe in the drum solo, sorry. We believe in one continuous drum solo. We don’t need to do drum solos, they’re all drum solos. Now, a bass solo, I’d like to hear that. I heard ya, I heard you back at the woodshop, doing some slap, come on. (crowd chants “Ginger! Ginger!”) (more soundchecking) Jeff, some hammer-ons for a moment. (Jeff starts noodling while Billy soundchecks) We’re almost ready. One more. (Billy soundchecking) Alright, I think we can do it!
Lucky 13
BC: Alriiiight. Yeah.
Hummer
> The Aeroplane Flies High
Thirty-Three (Billy 12-string w/Lisa)
Winterlong (Billy acoustic w/Lisa) (with extended intro)
With Every Light (acoustic)
BC: Alright. What’s the deal? ... Are you bored? You over it? Should we all go back to our expensive hotel and sleep? Jeff, do you want to go back to your expensive hotel and sleep? No?
Jeff: (off mic) We’re going out tonight.
BC: We’re going out tonight?
Jeff: We’re going out tonight.
BC: I don’t know. Maybe we’ve just been here too long, too many days in Asheville, they’re just kind of used to us. Yeah. Get me? Kind of like a relationship, you start to take it for granted, you just don’t do the little things anymore. Stop sending flowers and.... Alright, alright, I’ll make you a deal, I’ll make you a deal. From here on out, we’re on this journey together. Yeah, but what does that mean, right? It means, you come with us, we’ll go over there, you don’t come with us, we’ll go over there. There you go.
Today
> Bullet with Butterfly Wings
BC: Alright, that’s more like it. This is a song called Taran-toola.
Tarantula
BC: Can we play Neverlost? We didn’t rehearse it. Sorry, Jeffy. It’s one of those nights. Thank you. We’d like to play a song for you on the forthcoming Zeitgeist compact disc. It’s affectionately entitled Neverlost.
Neverlost
That’s the Way
