(encore break)
Iha: Thank you...how are you? OK? Reasonably...reasonably good? Good. This is uh, definitely our biggest show in London, uh...you guys are rockin'...thank you. Now on this next song, we want you to go crazy! Let's dance! dance!
Corgan: We'd like to uh, welcome a couple of our friends from the band Filter...fletcher, filter, filter, filter, filter...Geno...on guitar.
Iha: Geno...there you go...and Matt.
Corgan: and Matt on drums. They're gonna help us out with this song. That's Jimmy over there on guitar. And boy, does he play a mean guitar, lemme tell ya. Please feel free to sing along.
1979
Corgan: Thank you Geno!!! That's right, you didn't make any more mistakes than we do.
Iha: Thank you! Geno, Matt! The pride of Italy, Geno! Yeah...
Corgan: You know...hey James, should I tell a story? Most people don't know this...but if it wasn't for James, Eric Cantona would not have scored that goal. It was James' close friendship with Eric that brought him back to the Premier League...(crowd boos)...Are you saying that his friendship with Eric is not valid? James has many French friends, please...you don't like Eric Cantona?
Iha: Or do you not like our sense of humour?
Corgan: Both, all of the above.
Iha: Alright, alright...there's somebody here giving me the finger so I imagine...it must be my clothes!!! You don't like our clothes, do you? We're just tryin' to be crazy, you know...silver and fiber, and new wave...you remember these.
X.Y.U.
(encore break)
Iha: Why!? That's the phrase one of our producers taught us, "why!?" If I had my glasses on, what the hell is that? Is that the uh, Canadians? I can't remember their name...(unintelligible)...Alan Moulder taught us that, wanted to salute him.
Mayonaise
Corgan: Thank you, god bless you, goodnight.
(encore break)
Iha: Very kind, thank you.
Corgan: Thanks. thank you for being so supportive. If you remember correctly you're not supposed to like us here in England...(cut)...so we thank you, we know you're here...we know you're here.
Bodies
Silverfuck
Farewell + Goodnight
Iha: You're real great, and we'd like to thank, uh, Filter as well, curfew time, they're chucking us off the stage. We would like to do some East 17 medley.
