Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness Intro
Tonight, Tonight
Fuck You
Zero
> Here Is No Why
BC: Hi, hi, hi. (Swedish accent) Hello up there, hello. I see you, I see you. (normal voice) Hi, thank you for coming to the concert. It's very nice to see you. We're the Smashing Pumpkins.
To Forgive
> Today
D’arcy: Thank you.
Thru the Eyes of Ruby
> By Starlight
Disarm (acoustic)
Bullet with Butterfly Wings
> Cherub Rock
Porcelina of the Vast Oceans
BC: Thank you.
Iha: Thank you very, very much. I'd also like to thank the person who spit on me earlier, heh.
Guy in crowd: [unintelligible] on the pretty one!
Iha: You're the p--man, sit back down, heh. I'm talking about the guy who spit on me, not the pretty one. If I ever find out who spit on me, I'm gonna fucking kill you.
BC: I spit on you.
Iha: Well, we'll just talk about it when we leave, heh.
Guy in crowd: Hey! Me, think of me!
Iha: What? Think of you? You want me to spit on you?
D’arcy: Yeah, spit on him, spit on him. Go ahead! Come on, James...
Iha: And now...
D’arcy: ...you can do it.
Iha: ...I can't do it now...
D’arcy: Yes, you can.
Iha: ...he's too much of a fool. I can't spit on the fool, the idiot.
BC: Why are you engaging in this useless dialogue?
Iha: ‘Cause I'm angry...
D’arcy: It is amusing...
Iha: ...someone spit on me and I wanted to say something.
D’arcy: It's gonna be the name of our next album, Spit on the Fool.
BC: See...
Iha: A simple release.
BC: ...simply put, everyone spit on you.
Iha: Not everyone.
BC: No, the whole world spit on you. Can you grasp that?
Iha: That's deep, man, that's deep.
Muzzle
BC: Thanks.
D’arcy: Thank you.
[encore break]
Iha: Thank you. Alright, on a positive note, I would like to thank this--this country for the Volvo car. Thank you!
D’arcy: That's right, James and I, we both have Volvos and we wanna thank you, we love them, we love you. We also--we also wanna thank Filter for selling all these tickets 'cause obviously since the last time we played to like twelve people, we couldn't have done it ourselves.
Iha: Yes. We thank Filter. They are from here as well.
BC: We'd like to play our new hit single, Rise and Shine.
1979
(Billy's mic cuts out during 1979, forcing him to share Iha's; he is inaudible until "Junebug skipping like a stone")
BC: (mic cutting in and out) Hello! Hello. Hello!
Wolfman Jack tape
BC: (mic still not really working) Hello! Can you hear me? No. [unintelligible but sounds like “No puking on me, you still can’t.”]
blues jam
(BC towards beginning: Hello!!! Can you hear me?!!)
(jam eventually dissolves into the band doodling)
Iha: Alright. Far out.
D’arcy: Heyyyyyyy, yeaaah. Yeah! Heeyyy.
Iha: I got a woman! She’s been bad to me. I even set fire to the house. ‘Cause she spent too much money on a frying pan.
BC: (laughing through this line) I believe she’s a whiskey, whiskey soul, a whiskey soul.
Iha: Yes, that's from our next album, Chicago Blues Roots.
BC: I'm glad that uh, that was the most exciting portion of the evening, I apologize for that on one level and don't on another. Alright.
X.Y.U. (abandoned when D’arcy doesn’t come in on time)
BC: Ladies and gentlemen, Miss D’arcy.
Iha: Bass-less [unintelligible word].
D’arcy: Hello, can you hear me? Can you hear me, check, check, check, that would be D’arcy "No Electricity" Wretzky-Brown.
Iha: Alright. So anyways, I've had this Volvo station wagon since I was uh...(Billy starts the blues riff again) (jokingly singing) since I was 17. (speaking) Since I was 17 and uh....
D’arcy: We’re heathens.
X.Y.U.
[encore break]
BC: Thanks, thank you. Thank you, you're very kind.
