The Vigil Corgan: Thank you very much. This is called Armed to the Teeth.

[Drum machine plays wrong beat]

Iha (?): Ahhh!

Corgan: See? No, its not.

Iha (?): Twelve, eleven.

Armed to the Teeth

Corgan: Thank you, thank you.

Iha: Thanks. Thanks, Bob.

[Drum machine plays wrong beat]

Corgan: See what you get for not having a drummer? [tuts] Sin number one.

Bleed

There it Goes

Iha: Thanks.

Corgan: Um, we'd would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for coming out. I know some who have waited, some don't care, but thanks is all the same. Now we are going to change the bass. Oh, oh, Paul? Oh, Pa... just a little bit more drums. Thank you. I can't hear shit. This is one of those crowd favorites, this is called My Eternity.

My Eternity

Corgan: Thank you.

I Fall

Audience member: Where's your drummer?

Corgan: Ahh, don't start that shit. The reason we aren't playing with the drummer is because we had a drummer, and he fucked everything up, so why fuck everything up, you know what I mean? I mean I don't like playing with the drum machine anymore than maybe you don't like hearing it. But I don't have a drummer, so I'll play, you know. Hey, you wanna fuckin' drum, come up here [unintelligible] You know we don't fucking just like make this shit up out of air, it takes a lot of time, and uh, you know, I'd like to be here with a drummer and everything would be kosher. This my friend is a song for you. Ready? Are you ready?

Nothing and Everything

Iha: Thanks.

Audience member: We can't hear you!

Corgan: You can't hear what? Sing?

Audience member: Can't hear you!

Corgan: Me singing? This song is a step forwards, a step backwards all at the same time. I'm sure we all know about that in our little lives, including me.

6234

Iha: Thanks an awful lot.

Corgan: This falls in the hit song category.

Holiday

Corgan: Thank you, thank you, very kind. This will be our last number. I'd like to thank the Avalon Night Club, Paul, an excellent mixing man. He deserves many applause. [tuts] heh, and your mic isn't on.

Wretzky: I wanna thank everybody who came out tonight, all my friends and my sister.

Iha: And I would like to thank Vince [unintelligible] And McDermit if he's out there.

Corgan: And I'd to thank [feedback] woah! I'd like to thank the Lord, Jesus Christ. That's right, you don't sing the last verse. Yeah that's alright. You don't say nothing anyway. This song's called Screaming. Like a mother... fucker. Are you loud? Jesus! [unintelligible]

Screaming

Corgan: Sayonara.

MC: Let's hear it one more time for the Smashing Pumpkins!
