Announcer: Yeah, patience, just a few moments, Smashing Pumpkins’ll hit the stage. Don’t forget to take care of our T-shirt girl here. She’s under here waiting.... [tape cuts]
BC: Good evening.
Iha: Alright!
BC: (high pitched) Alright!
Iha: Alright, just hang on just a few minutes, we gotta get the tape machine rolling. Hang on, I’ll be with you.
Disarm
Hello Kitty Kat
BC: Alright!
> Bury Me
Iha: Thank you, thank you very much. (Billy starts Luna) Anyone wishing to shoot some steroids with us after the show, come on by. We've got a one big fever, man [sic].
Luna
> Tristessa
Rocket
BC: Is everyone being nice to everyone else? Heh! Be polite to your neighbor. My name is Gunga Din. The Smashing Pumpkins couldn't make it tonight, so thank you for coming to see us.
Iha: So we just flew in from Chicago and boy are our arms tired.
Window Paine
Snail
BC: Danke schoen. Thank you for seeing our second show in Florida. It would’ve been first but it...didn’t work out. But we're all here now and.... Huh, what, hello? No –- no, por favor. Speaka English.
Kill Your Parents
> Siva
(BC alt bridge lyrics: All this pain smothers me / Like a bomb that you can’t see / Tell me, tell me what you want / ‘Cause I only care about myself and that’s the way it’ll always be, sorry)
BC: Thank you for coming to our last show ever, I hope you like it. You could say you saw us before we fell apart.
Guy in crowd: Hold out!
BC: Sorry, it's not our corporate rock year. Next year. We'll let everyone else make all the money this year. This here is a song from uh, one of them new movies.
Drown (7:06)
BC: This is a song about killing your parents.
Slunk (abandoned after 13 seconds)
> Jam (Iha and Jimmy keep going for 48 seconds)
> I Am One
Offer Up
> Silverfuck / Star Spangled Banner
[encore break]
Announcer: Yes. Let's hear it for Smashing Pumpkins, make some noise. Well, maybe if you show 'em how we do in Miami style, they'd make uh, they'll come back, what do you think, you know? Ah, you're too hot! So, we'll play it, we’ll play it square style, going once. Going twice. I don’t know that's pretty wimpy, I think I'm at The Spot or something. ... Going three times, this is your chance!
(house music comes on for a minute or two until Billy comes on stage alone)
BC: I don't have a band anywhere.
When You Wish Upon a Star (tease - Billy sings a couple of lines)
Iha: Hey, thanks a lot. Heh. We appreciate you staying through all this humid, disgusting, messy heat. Losing all these...Florida pounds...for us. And uh, at this point in time, we'll be uh, debuting some new material from our next album. Our next album will be of course be a double album, sold separately, dancing chords. I will ride the dragon and uh, it should be out in stores in mid-March. Just as soon as we're done tuning. The funny thing about tuning is it's always unpredictable. Kind of like sledding naked (Jimmy starts Hummer) or uh...throwing peanut butter at a beehive.
Hummer
BC: Thank you for coming.
