Banter
Rocket
Corgan: Alright man. (?)
Geek U.S.A.
Corgan: Thanks. So... [to crowd] Yea you waited two years, I waited 26. Just kidding. Alright, alright. Thank you.
Iha: And we missed you.
Corgan: We missed you, alright. James, did you miss em?
Iha: There's been an empty spot in my heart for you.
Corgan: Anyway, enough bull... Thank you, I hope you have fun, don't hurt each other. Please.
Iha: Remember, pave the earth, eat red meat, drop acid.
Today
Corgan: Thanks.
Disarm
I Am One
Spaceboy
Quiet
Corgan: Are you having fun? It's nice to play big places, but it seems so far away. Are you right there? I see you now. This is called Hummer.
Hummer
Recording of "Family Feud" television gameshow over PA.
Soma
Corgan: You can stop yelling now, it's OK. I hear ya. It's OK, I didn't get any attention at home, either. We'd like to do an oldie, but baddie.
Siva
Corgan: Thanks.
Recording over PA (50's style music?)

Corgan: Thank you very much.
Intermission...
Iha: Why, thank you. Thank you, San Francisco. Thank you, San Francisco.
Corgan: [unintelligible] shut it off, please, I can't take it. Thank you. Shhh...relax, shhh... Thank you.
Iha: Just be groovy.
Corgan: Aren't you all on LSD? This is San Francisco, isn't it.
Iha: Jerry (?) said it wasn't cool to drop acid anymore, so we couldn't, not tonight.
Drown
Recording over PA (female voice) segues into unknown instrumental
Silverfuck
After "bang bang you're dead" verse, Corgan: Hey, shouting stupid shit don't make any smarter. Yeah well, that's the kind of love I recognize, you know what I mean, that's the kind of love I've had all my life, the nice kind, the kind that's brutal and mean and calls you names. [crowd yelling "I love you Billy] Thanks, I appreciate it. Stay out of the way, heh. That's alright, that's alright. I'm getting old, I can handle it. Truly amazing. Hey put on all the lights, Lars (?), so I can see everybody. See, all the nice people are in the back. Thank you, thanks for being nice, love you all. It takes an aggressive mean person to come up front. But you know what I got? You know what I got that you don't got? I got rock power. In fact, the Smashing Pumpkins, we got rock power.
Iha: Rock power.
Corgan: That's right, Goddamnit, we got rock power. You want to see some rock power? Hold on a second, I'll show you some rock power.
[begins singing Over the Rainbow acapella, before resuming rest of Silverfuck with lyrics "cause I got the motherfucking rock power"] then eventually seguing into Star Spangled Banner.
Corgan: I got the rock power, fucker.
