To Sheila
Tear
Wretzky: Hello. It's very nice to be here in your city for the very first time, it's very beautiful and you're a very nice audience, thank you.
Once Upon a Time
Crestfallen
Corgan: Thank you, good evening, hi. Buena serra! Thank you so much for coming tonight, it's wonderful to see you. Tonight we're mostly playing -- I'll speak really slowly, tonight we're mostly playing songs from our new album, which is titled Go Ferrari Go...no no, it's called Adore. This is a little song called Pug, P-U-G, Pug.
Pug
Daphne Descends
Let Me Give the World to You
Corgan: Thank you so much. OK...what is this feedback shit? Heh heh, you ready over there? Hey uh, the low mids are really bad on this, on the vocal mostly. OK, this next song, we know that you know it, it's a beautiful night, thank god. So simultaneously, we dedicate this song to you, but at the same time we want you to dedicate it back to us...kapeesh?
Tonight, Tonight
Corgan: God bless you, thank you.
Appels + Oranjes / percussion solo / Bullet with Butterfly Wings
Corgan: I'm gettin' old, I can't quite scream like that anymore, but it's alright, I try.

Corgan: We'd like to now take you back to a simpler time in our life, like to take you back all the way to 1976...no no no, 1976...hit it James, 1976.
