Corgan: Hi.
Cherub Rock
Corgan: Sorry you have to be so far away.
Rocket
Corgan: Thank you very much. We're very happy it's no longer raining, if that means anything to anybody. We're sorry Pearl Jam couldn't be here this year but they got us instead, I hope you like it.
Iha: It's not as- it's not as good though.
Corgan: If the show goes real well we'll do Alive, okay.
Iha: And then Jeremy.
Today
Disarm
I Am One
Corgan: Thanks a lot. We're from Amsterdam. We took the train in to play the show.
(audience is chanting something)
Iha: I beg your pardon?
Corgan: All right, shut the fuck up. Just kidding. Go ahead, sing, go ahead, sing whatever you want to sing. Lord knows we don't have any better songs than that one.
Drown
Hummer
Geek USA
Corgan: Thank you very much. We'd like to play you uh, Songus Enternalus. The final number of our little European tour here. Hope you like it. If you don't we're very, very sorry, as usual.
Iha: Wait, I see a banner out there for us.
Corgan: It's just like U2, but it's not. If only I could do the... the U2 with the flag... if only um...
