Glass and the Ghost Children
BC: Hello (about 15x in rapid succession).
Iha: Hello.
BC: Hello!
Iha: Hello.
BC: Hello, James!
Iha: Hello over there Billy, I think.
BC: Ça va?
Iha: Hello. Ça va bien d'accord.
BC: How’s everybody doing tonight? We’re very proud to be opening for Backstreet Boys tonight. They’ll be on in just a minute. Next up, we feature, uh, a ballad. He was the original. He was a boy band on his own. Mr. James Iha.
Blew Away
> Stand Inside Your Love
I of the Mourning
BC: Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Iha: Thank you. Thank you.
BC: Thank you over there, James. I’d like to, uh.... Shh!! I can’t hear myself think, you’re too loud. Like to, um, we’re gonna play a song off our new album, it’s called This Time and uh, I’d like to dedicate this song to my brother and his new wife.
Iha: Ah ha, where is Zack?
BC: Hopefully he’ll have a better marriage than I did. I know he will, so um, love you guys, thank you.
This Time
> I Am One
(BC midsong: It’s time to talk about a rock and roll revolution. It’s time to talk about a rock and roll solution. When we started our band in 1988...we wanted to destroy all the boy bands that existed in 1988. And it fuckin’ pisses me off that it’s boy bands all over again. So let’s talk about a rock and roll revolution. We say, “How can I participate in this revolution? Do I need to get a gun?” No, you don’t need a gun. This revolution has no bullets. Only thoughts and words and heart. You cannot kill rock and roll, you cannot kill rock and roll. We are the machines. We speak this dream. We are the machines. We are the machines of gooooood. Of goooood. Of gooooood. Of goooooooood.)
Le Deux Machina (tape)
To Sheila (Billy acoustic w/Iha)
BC: Thank you.
Iha: A quick introduction of the band at present. On lead vocals and guitar, Mr. Billy Corgan. Woooo! Our boy. On acoustic guitar and drums, Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin. Unh! On the bass (pronounced like the fish) guitar, Ms. Melissa Auf der Maur. Yes. And Jimmy James, thank you.
1979 (acoustic, Jimmy plays guitar)
Disarm (acoustic)
BC: Thank you, thank you so very much, thank you. Heh heh, thank you. ... We’d like to, um, play one more sort of, uh, meandering, uh, not really sure what it means, uhhh, acoustic-y kinda song-y. This is called Try, Try, Try.
Try, Try, Try (acoustic)
Rock On
> Zero
Today
Iha: Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. How is everybody out there? The people to the left, how are you doing? Are they really loud?
BC: I’ll take them.
Iha: People in the center, are you having an okay time? The center. The people to the right of me, are you rocking out? Is Melissa doing a good job over there?
BC: Wait wait! Wait! Wait.
Iha: Alright.
BC: I’m offended by your shameless tactics to rile up the audience.
Iha: Alright. (high pitched) How is everybody out there? (normal) How is the set?
BC: Don’t you understand the concert’s going really well, you don’t have to resort to lame showbiz tactics.
Iha: Well, I was gonna bring out my big, uh, my big shoes but I thought I’d ask them first how they were doing. The clown shoes. So, that was what I saw, wasn’t it? That was Today...and now it is turning evening. The night sky is getting dreamy and dark out. The stars are out in the sky tonight!
Tonight, Tonight
Blue Skies Bring Tears
> Cherub Rock

Blank Page
Bullet with Butterfly Wings
> Once in a Lifetime
you might ask yourself
what does this song mean if it has no meaning?
you might ask yourself
just what do i feel if i have no feelings?
you might ask yourself
at what price freedom, at what price america?
you might ask yourself
does anyone care?

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

you might ask yourself
who is that fucking guy on stage?
you might ask yourself
what does he know about me and my life? what?
you might ask yourself
what do i cry if i cry tears of milk?
you might ask yourself
this is not my world, this is not my world

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

whoa!
blow!
what the fuck?!

outside insides forwards back, move in if you’re on the attack
i am messed up, i am [unintelligible word], i am never giving back

what?!
why..?!
...try?!
what the fuck?!

we peer in the eyes of America, “hello, is anybody in there?”
(growl/scream)
we are deep and we are mighty, we stand for what is right
(growl)
we pause in the now, we reach up, we ask for our strength, forgiveness...release of all sorrow, acceptance of what is
yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, what is it you want to change?, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
can you feel it?
can you feel it?
can you feel it?
can you feel it?!
can you feel it?!!
can you feel it?!!!

what?!
(growl)
ow!!!
boo!

[encore break]
Iha: Thank you very much, you guys are awesome, thank you. Are there any nice...honorable....
BC: Yes. Yes! I’d like to say that, uh, when we came here on the Adore tour - we only played about 14 shows on the Adore tour and coming here was one of the best shows that we had on that tour. And once again you’ve made this one of the best shows on this tour, so thank you. Because, uh, except for Melissa quite frankly, me, James and Jimmy are getting old and without your motivation, we just can’t do it anymore.
Iha: That’s why before every show we take a quart of her blood and we drink it. I hope that doesn’t....
BC: That’s why she wears the wristbands!
Iha: I don’t know if you think that’s weird or something, I don’t know, but we want to live her forever, ladies and gentlemen.
With Every Light (acoustic)
