Rock On
(BC after Iha solo: Hey wait, that was not a good guitar solo. These people, these people deserve a good guitar solo. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. James Iha.)
(BC later during quiet part before outro: Long live rock and roll. You gotta get it while you can ‘cause it’s going fast, rock and roll, rock and roll. We all live in a Britney Spears world now, we’re just gonna have to get used to it. Heh heh heh. No, I’m serious, it’s all Britney all the time, all Christina all the time. Shit, I mean this concert’s being put on by the Backstreet Boys, I mean, that's how fucked up it is.)
> Heavy Metal Machine
Age of Innocence
Glass and the Ghost Children
BC: Thank you very much everybody, thank you. It’s great to see everybody here, again. I think the, uh, the second show we ever played as a band was in Milwaukee and, uh, it’s probably our 30th show, so we thank everyone for such long support for us, uh, thank you very much. I know I’ve introduced him once but he’s worth introducing twice. This next song is by Mr. James Iha.
Blew Away
> Stand Inside Your Love
Tear
BC: Thank you.
I of the Mourning
Le Deux Machina (tape)
To Sheila (Billy acoustic w/Iha)
BC: I don’t know if you can crowd surf to this part, but we’ll try.
If There is a God (Billy acoustic w/Iha)
> Disarm (acoustic)
Ava Adore (acoustic)
Mayonaise
The Everlasting Gaze
Pug
Zero
BC: Is that it? Are you rocked out, you want no more rock songs? Are we just too heavy for you? We hear this rap/rock thing is in so maybe we should do some of that.
(Jimmy starts beat)
Iha: These people want cheese appeal.
BC: James is working on a new song.
Iha: Yeah. Come on. Come on with me. We’re gonna do a big [unintelligible] next time. I don’t know what it is.
BC: Instead of that, DMX used to do “IHA.” I-H-A!
Iha: We’re gonna do a song called, uh, The Boxer Shorts Song. It’s a response to The Thong Song.
(drumbeat ends)
Today
BC: Thank you, thank you very much.
Iha: Okay.
BC: Melissa kindly requests that you all take a step back so nobody gets crushed. Take a step back. It’s not the early '90s anymore, you know, it’s a different world now, we’re all gonna step back.
Iha: Take a step back, take a step down, take [unintelligible]. How is everybody, is everybody okay? Is it a swirling mass of disgusting flesh out there? Okay.
BC: Is anything [unintelligible]?
Iha: Nope.
BC: [unintelligible], James.
Iha: There’s a fabulous song on Mellon Collie....
BC: I know what to do, I got it, I got it, alright, wait. Just tell a joke.
Iha: Uh. ... I’m trying to think of something witty but I don’t have a fucking thing to say. Is it miserable out there or are you rocking? (crowd cheers) Wow. We’re gonna do something friendly new with it that’s never been done in rock and roll today. I’m not sure what song that is.
Bullet with Butterfly Wings
> Once in a Lifetime
[encore break]
Blank Page
> Cherub Rock
BC: God bless you people. God bless you. Thank you. Thanks for a great show. Thank you for a great show. Thank you so much, thank you.
[encore break]
1979 (acoustic, Jimmy plays guitar)
Iha: Wow, heh.
BC: Well, gee. Um, we’d like to play one more song if you don’t mind. We’re sort of, uh, making it up as we go along and, uh, as usual. We’d like to do a song by one of our favorite bands, The Who.
I Can't Explain (tease - Iha plays first 6 chords)
BC: Uh, not that one, James. This is a song, uh, called, uh, Join Together. Please sing along.
Join Together (acoustic)
BC: Thank you. We are the Smashing Pumpkins. God bless you.
Iha: [unintelligible]. Drive safe. [unintelligible]. Good night.
