Banter

To Sheila
Tear
Corgan: Thank you. I'm glad it's such a sunny day today, we were so worried that the weather was gonna be bad and you were all gonna be cold, so it's really worked out that the sun is out today and it's nice and warm. I mean, who wants to see a show in the cold, you know when it's cold out we can't play 'cause our fingers get all frozen, but thank god it's warm. Because of course if it was cold then none of you would show up to the show and then it'd be a bad show...
Once Upon a Time
Crestfallen
Ava Adore
Corgan: Thank you. Hola, as they say in Spain.
Daphne Descends
Thru the Eyes of Ruby
Perfect
Corgan: Thank you so much. It's an honor to play for you tonight. We appreciate you coming and staying outside with us. Now, we know you know this next song. Because if you don't you should go home, that's just the way it is.
Tonight, Tonight
Wretzky: I hope you're a little bit warmer packed in there like that. Thank you so much for standing out here and coming to the show. We wanted to play here because it's very beautiful, and we asked god to make it a sunny day but I guess he changed his mind. So, thanks for coming anyway, we really appreciate it.
Stumbleine
percussion solo / Bullet with Butterfly Wings
Shame
Corgan: Thank you very much.
Wretzky: I have to say, in the ten years -- this is our tenth year together -- of all the shows we have ever played, you win for the coldest show ever. You know, I thought no one would come. Thank you for staying.
For Martha
[encore break]
Iha: Thank a lot, you guys have been really great, thanks.
Corgan: This is the girl that lent me her scarf.
Girl: Hello! I am the luckiest one in this concert, maybe...(speaking Swedish)
Corgan: Um...thank you.
