D’arcy: That face means be afraid, be very afraid.
Beautiful
BC: What is it you want to hear? (crowd yelling) I only--I only asked this guy. What? Hi.
Iha: I say you start waving, maybe that’ll start waving.

[set break]
Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness Intro
> Where Boys Fear to Tread
> Zero
Fuck You
Here Is No Why
BC: Hi.
To Forgive
Bullet with Butterfly Wings
BC: Thank you very much. Yes, you’re all just rats in the cage, do you know that? We're all just rats in the cage. Here’s to being a rat in the cage. Get it, you're a rat in the cage?
Iha: Uhhh, yeah, heh.
BC: So uh, thank you very much for coming tonight. We hope you're having a good time. We realize that this is slightly different from your normal rock show, but that's kinda the basic idea, so...thank you for being there. We love you all very much. Except...you have an exception or no?
Iha: What?
BC: Do you love everybody too?
Iha: Uhh.
D’arcy: Oh, except that guy back there.
Thru the Eyes of Ruby
BC: I'd also like to say one more thing, uh, as long as we're chat-ting. Um, we also realize that the uh, the whole notion of our crazy double record thing wouldn't be possible without people actually buying the record, because if no one bought the record, then anyone would think we're fucking crazy, so...thanks for buying them records too.
D’arcy: ‘Cause we're really not crazy.
BC: What?
D’arcy: Uh, we're not crazy at all.
BC: No, we're not crazy, but people would say we were crazy if no one bought the records, so the fact that people are buying the record makes us...
Iha: Logistically speaking...
BC: ...really not crazy.
Iha: ...they would perhaps...
D’arcy: No, oh, we’re not, not at all.
Iha: ...metaphorically, didactically, allegorically think that the root of the [unintelligible word]....
BC: Alright, we know you went to college, okay.
D’arcy: James just bought a thesaurus.
Iha: And get off my back.
Galapogos
BC: What was once funny becomes shtick.
Iha: Yes, yes. Um, again, if you were here last night at this point, at this time, you know that...it's time to rock.
Geek U.S.A.
> Cherub Rock
Porcelina of the Vast Oceans
BC: Thanks.
[encore break]
Iha: Alright, thank you very very much. I don't know what to say. You're a very nice audience. We are very...wild.
BC: “Nice”? “Nice”? “You're a very nice audience”?
Iha: Yes, they are a reasonably nice audience, I think. (high pitched) Whaaaa do you mean?
BC: I don’t know. Where I come from, “nice” is an insult.
Iha: Well, they’ve--you fuckin' suck, you piece of fuckin'....
BC: That's still an insult, you know, but uh....
Iha: You fuck--well, there’s I, there’s an all, I can’t talk.
BC: I think you're nice.
Iha: What?
BC: I think you're nice.
Iha: I.... What're you trying to say? On the stage, man! Alright, hang on, we'll get a new song to you any second. This one is a winner.
BC: It’s--heh heh heh heh.
Iha: This one is from Collie, yes, it's from Collie. It’s uh, our new single and we got a new video for it and here we go.
1979
X.Y.U.
[encore break]
Iha: Alright!! Fuckin' San Francisco Rock City. Home of all groovy music. Which, uh, I don’t know, I’ve never listened to San Francisco music before though. I'm just kiddin’. Friend of the devil is a friend of mine.
BC: Heh heh heh.
Iha: Heh heh.
Muzzle
> Silverfuck / Space Jam / Drown
BC: Yeah, yeah, he’s sick. Do you know Jimmy's verse there, James? Do you? Oh, he's a trooper!
D’arcy: I know Jimmy's worse.
Farewell and Goodnight
(BC right before Jimmy/D’arcy’s verse: On the keyboard, Johnaston Livington Seagull.)
(below is over piano outro)
BC: Thank you very much.
D’arcy: Good night.
Jimmy: Thank you.
BC: You guys have been more than great, thank you. ... Thank you, thank you. God bless you, thank you.
Iha: Crazy, crazy, thank you. Stop me, I'm crazy.
BC: God bless you, thank you.
