MCIS Where Boys Fear To Tread Zero Cherub Rock To Forgive Tonight, Tonight  Corgan: Hello. We are the Smashing Pumpkins, thank you very much for coming to the rock concert. My uh, my ears are all screwed up, so. If you see me doing this kind of stuff, I'm not yawning, I can't hear for shit. Iha: Woo! He can't hear! Woo! Corgan: So we hope you all have a good time. I'm not really sure why all of you have to be so far away, we don't really understand this part of it, but we can see you, you are out there, we know you are. Iha: We know that you're rockin'! Corgan: Even though we are blind, deaf, and dumb, we can hear and feel you, so thank you very much. Today Thru the Eyes of Ruby Porcelina of the Vast Oceans / Rocket (tease)  Corgan: Thank you very much. Is everybody alright? That was the uh, the psychedelic portion of the show, you have survived that. Iha: Was it far out? And now, we move on to the plaintive, emotional, acoustic portion of the show. Corgan: To those of you who weren't already falling asleep, this is now a good time to take a nap. Disarm Bullet with Butterfly Wings Fuck You  Corgan: Thank you very much. Drown / Hummer (tease) [encore break; tape stopped] Corgan: Thank you very much, you guys are really great, thank you. Iha: You people of Hartford are rocking! (unintelligible) Corgan: We have to apologize a little bit, I'm sick, D'arcys sick, and um, we're trying really hard to not be sick, but you know how it is, you can't really help being sick, so thank you so much for everything...whoa. Iha: Wow. Corgan: Hey. No wait, who are those people way up there at the top, no those people like by the ceiling, who are those people. Iha: Those are the chosen one. Corgan: Those are the kids whose parents own skyboxes. So thanks again for a great concert, appreciate you very much. I hope you all can hear me, if no (unintelligible). And now, one last cyber jam to implode your still-growing fetal mind. This one's called X.Y.U. X.Y.U. [encore break] Iha: Ladies and gentlemen, thank you. Now, I know this may be shocking to you people of Hartford, but we have brought a special guest, all the way from Milwaukee, of the Frogs, Jimmy Frog! Hey! A nice round of applause for Jimmy Frog. OK, now, his brother, on the keyboard, Dennis Frog! A nice round of applause for Dennis Frog, and uh, the moment you've been waiting for. Corgan: Wait! The guy who plays drums. Iha: Yo! The guy who plays drums, ladies and gentlemen, can I have a warm round of applause for Matt Cosmo Walker! Oh my god, he's crazy. Corgan: Jimmy, would you like to say something to the good people? Jimmy: Tonight we're gonna do something different, gonna pick some dancers out the crowd to dance. So who can do the pump now? Iha: That's real novel. Corgan: Yes it's time to, yes it's time to pick the dancers the join us on stage. Iha: Audience participation. Corgan: Jimmy shall pick the dancers. Iha: Jimmy, you go find those people. improv Iha: Aww yeah, people of Hartford, put it up in the air, like you just don't fucking care. Jump around, come on, let's get those hands up, let's see those hands. Let's jump for joy people, jump for joy, here we are. Corgan: They're already dancing, they're already dancing. Iha: Oh my god, they're out of control. Who shall it be? Wow, we got some funky people up here tonight. Jimmy! Who shall be the dancers? Here we wind it down. Corgan: Yes, it's become a tradition. Iha: Yes, here we go. Corgan: You wouldn't think it but yes, we do have a dance song now. All we're trying to do is get it together, open our arms to the boogie-ing beat. Iha: We're just trying to get it on with you people. Corgan: Let's take some -- oh my god, I can't talk. Let's take some time to meet the dancers, please come over here. Please tell -- oh my god, I cannot talk, please tell everyone who you are and where you're from. Fan #1: Hi, I'm Cindy, I'm from New Mexico. Corgan: New Mexico? Is that Connecticut? What the fuck are you doing up here? No, I'm just joking. We try to pick local people, but it's Jimmy's fault. Please tell everyone who you are and where you're from. Fan #2: My name is Lauren and I'm from Weathersfield, Connecticut. Iha: That's absolutely out of control. Corgan: Same questions my man. Fan #3: I'm Rob, I'm from Bristol, Connecticut. Iha: Well, good luck with that. Corgan: Alright, dancers. Iha: Two rules. Corgan: I use the word loosely. Iha: Two rules. Corgan: We have two rules for our dancers, and these are serious rules, breaking the rules will cause me to hit you over the head with a guitar. Iha: Hit you in the head with a guitar. Corgan: The rules are don't touch us, and don't touch our shit. Besides that, go fucking crazy for all I care. Iha: Now, good people of Connecticut, those of you who could not be onstage, we encourage you, for any of those who've gone to college, dance, onstage, but in your mind, that's right, in your mind. Now let's all have fun and dance, goddamnit. 1979 [tape ends]
