Corgan: Yeh yeh hey... alright, I feel like a midget.. thank you
Can you turn off the incessant yelling?
Um, first of all I'd like to apologize that we're so ugly... except for D'arcy
And obviously we're not like really amplified so to make our life easier and everyone who wants to hear if we could keep it fairly quiet and that way we can keep the songs the way they're meant to be played and bash them all out like we do live
So we'll begin... I can't help it I'm a songsmith..
Alright so if you people are quiet, we'll just do our thing
This is a song off our new 'don't call it an EP' called 'Blue'
Blue
Corgan: This is a song we haven't really played live yet but we tried to record it for this new single. It didn't really come out so it'll probably be on our next album which will be out in 1995
Obscured [breaks down]
Wretzky: Wait a minute, start over
Corgan: Like I said we've never really played this song live. Once again another ominous instore
Audience member: 1995!
Corgan: And now you can see why it won't be out until 1995
Audience members: Smash that pumpkin!
Corgan: No fuckin' pumpkins please, I'm really sick of this shit
[breaks down again]
Corgan: No I can't do it, I can't go on pretending you're [D'arcy] not fucking this up. Alright, well see, they say that about us- hit or miss, so it's all downhill
Siva
Corgan [aside to Wretzky]: We only know how to play it in that key
Wretzky: What? A?
Corgan: Yeah... alright, another attempt to failure, let's play Smiley
This is a song, we did a Peel Session and I know we're trying to get this released maybe a seven inch on Caroline hopefully. I don't know this song may never see the light of day but it sounds like another one of our songs so see if you can guess
Smiley
Corgan: Thank you for your ??, it's appreciable
Audience member: Play 'Out of Focus'
Corgan: That was the old Pumpkins, this is the new Pumpkins, flower children...
[responding to something said] OPP? OPP, what's OPP? This a song off 'Fish'
Suffer
Corgan: This is James ballad
Terrapin
Corgan: Just gonna play all the other songs, well anybody wanna hear anything?
Audience member: Alabaster
Corgan: No! [another request] We already played that song.
Well, I'll leave you, we'll leave you, the collective I... we.
This is a new song which I'm sure we'll fuck up too but I don't give a fuck anymore.
No, we will not be playing the country version of 'I Am One' today, you'll have to travel to Ottawa, Canada for that.
This is a song called 'Luna'
Luna
Corgan: Thank you, goodnight. We'll see you at the motherfucking rock show.
