(BC after call and response part: James!
Iha: Yes! Let’s put our hands together. It’s gettin’ a little bit hot tonight. I can barely see the road. Reach down, ease the seat back. You know what I’m talkin’ about. Panama, David Lee Roth. Can you feel it, Houston, Texas? Are you having a reasonable time tonight, Houston, Texas, in your fucking heat which I cannot stand?!! My god! Thank you so much for coming tonight, you guys are rockin’, [unintelligible word], I think they feel it, Billy. Okay, they’re two-thirds there. Can you feel it, Houston?!! (very high pitched) Owwww!! Can you feel it, Houston, Texas?!!
BC: Come on, come on, come on....)
Disarm (abandoned about 7 seconds in - Billy’s guitar is inaudible)
Iha: Jeez Louise. It’s so hot here, shit’s bound to fuck up.
BC: Hahahahahahaha. Fuck this scene.
Disarm (acoustic)
Superchrist
Fire and Rain
(BC after lyrics: Ladies and gentlemen, we are the Smashing Pumpkins. Wounded but unbowed. 31 years and counting. We thank you so much for being with us tonight. We would like to thank our brothers and sisters in AFI and Noel and the Birds That Went Flying. A quick introduction of the band: on the keyboards, from Australia, Ms. Katie Cole.
Iha: [unintelligible]
BC: From the other side of Manchester, on the bass, Mr. Jack Bates.
Iha: Manchester United supporter.
BC: From the mean streets of Glendale, on guitar, Mr. Jeff Schroeder. From the back alleys of Elk Grove Village, on guitar, Mr. James Iha. And though he may have been born in the shadow of a state prison in Joliet, Illinois, the only thing criminal about this man is his drumming. Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin. My name is William Patrick Corgan. I’m your host for this trip to hell. And may I now play appropriate musical interlude that sums up my deepest feeling. (Billy solos))
Ava Adore
Radio Intro tape
> 1979
Tonight, Tonight
Blue Skies Bring Tears
BC: Thank you very much everyone. We hope you had a good time. (lukewarm cheering) That’s so enthusiastic I almost got knocked over. (louder cheering) There you go! There you go. There’s the H-town that I know and love. We’re gonna run away now to our Goth cave. But before we bid you adieu, we wanna say thank you so much, we appreciate you, we love you. We thank you for sticking with us, 31 years.
Iha: And it’s so damn hot.
BC: James.
Iha: Yes?
BC: They don’t care about it being hot.
Iha: I know.
BC: They live here.
Iha: I know.
BC: They know about the hot.
Iha: They’re like the--the Gila monster in the desert and they just take the heat. I don’t know why I said the Gila monster but, you know, a desert-like reptile that lives without much hydration or water. Maybe getting water in the morning from dew, I’m not sure, I’m gonna have to Google that.
BC: Thank you, James!
Iha: I’m sorry.
BC: Heh. Did you have a good time? Normally, normally James would dedicate this next song to you but we don’t want him to go into a dissertation. This song from Siamese Dream....
Iha: Shall I talk about this song?
BC: Ironically, it’s about the Gila monster.
Iha: Hahahaha.
BC: Who knew?
Cherub Rock
> The Aeroplane Flies High
Iha: Thank you so much, guys. Get home safe. Thank you.
