Iha: Thank you so much, Tampa. How are you guys doing? We are the Smashing Pumpkins, thank you for coming out tonight, we appreciate it.
Today
We Only Come Out at Night (acoustic)
Cyr
Iha: How you guys doin’? Heh heh. Thank you so much.
Once in a Lifetime
Solara
Eye
(BC after second chorus: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the show. Are you havin’ a good time? Me too.)
(BC during outro singalong: Sing it with us! Come on, this is Tampa, Florida! All the way in the back! Last one, last one.)
Ava Adore
(BC after Jimmy solo: Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin on the drums!)
Iha: Alright alright alright alright, thank you so much, Tampa. Thank you for coming out! We’re just gettin’...we’re just gettin’ to the real part of the show now. I don’t know what happened to that first part--
BC: Is this where we play the hits? This where we play the hits?
Iha: Yes, heh. Now we’re gonna get to the real part of the show.
BC: Thank you so much, thank you, thank you, thank you. Heh heh, we’re up there with the luckiest people on this planet and you make that possible, so we thank you so much from the bottom of our broken hearts. Heh! You know, James, I was gonna say something clever here, but now I think it’s a bad idea.
Iha: Whatever you wanna do, heh heh heh.
BC: I had this whole set up, I was gonna talk about love.
Iha: You’ve lived here once in Saint Pete.
BC: I did!
Iha: You could talk about Saint Pete.
BC: 1985. 1985, I lived in Saint Pete.
Iha: You wrestled with alligators once, you told me.
BC: Before I knew you, way back when.
Iha: You said you enjoyed wrestling with alligators. I can’t believe you people live with alligators all the time, it’s insane, and sharks.
BC: We don’t have alligators in Chicago?
Iha: They’re in the sewers during the winter. They winter in the sewer of Chicago.
BC: Listen, if we’ve learned anything over the last 34 years, it’s that we’re not funny. We’re not funny at all.
Iha: This is where we freestyle.
BC: We look funny, but we’re not funny. My favorite thing to hear coming up out of the crowd is “Shut up and play.” “Shut up and play.”
Iha: Heh heh.
BC: So the joke I was gonna make, I’m not gonna make it now.
(crowd boos)
Iha: I gotta joke for you.
BC: Should I make the joke?
Iha: What?
BC: Should I make the joke?
(crowd cheers)
Iha: Oh yeah, okay.
BC: Okay!
Iha: I got a joke too but you go.
BC: Okay, you were warned now, you were warned. Okay, you were warned, so don’t get mad at me. I was gonna say, “James, like to play you this next song about love. The broken hearted, if you’re out there suffering from a broken heart, we send our love to you. Doesn’t matter if you’re high or low in life, you’re a rock star or a starting quarterback in an NFL franchise, we all get a broken heart.” See, they don’t like my joke!
Iha: That’s very timely. I’ve seen....
BC: Number 12!
Iha: We’re gettin’ uh, heh heh, we’re gettin’ some advice from the side, we gotta wrap this up.
BC: It’s okay. As you know, James, when they boo you, they’re not booing, they’re yelling “Lou.” Lou, Lou.
Iha: I like Lou, he’s great.
BC: Okay, this is a little song we like to call –- and we dedicate this to you –- it’s called Tonight, Tonight.
Tonight, Tonight (Billy/Iha acoustic)

I of the Mourning
Iha: Thank you so much. How are you guys doin’, you still with us? We’re gonna bring out a couple of live alligators in a couple minin [sic]. Couple minutes. Thank you so much, uh, you’re gonna like this next song, it’s a good one. Uh...I’m just freestyling. Just glad to be here, I’m just glad (Jimmy starts Cherub Rock) to be in Tampa. Who knows?

BC: Thank you, thank you so much, thank you. ... Most of you would not know that for about the last 20 years, my father lived in South Florida.

You might know this one; if you do, please sing along.
