Glass and the Ghost Children  Corgan: A little less organ there, John. Are we waiting on you again? Oh, it's Morse's fault? Crush  Corgan: Thank you all very much, thank you. I got it, I got it, I got it. Thank you all very much. Now if uh, if you don't mind, so when I got the phone this morning, that the thing at the record store wasn't gonna happen, it was like complete utter panic, 'cause what were we gonna do? But as you see, it's all worked out probably even for the better. So we thank you very much, and your patience and your devotion means a lot to us. So we'd like to do another new song from our forthcoming take over the world one more time album. I don't know how many times we have to prove the same point, but we're going to prove it again. Sorry, I just had to say that. So this is a song called I of the Mourning. I of the Mourning  Corgan: Hey Mark! Mark, can you fix that strap please? Yeah, we'd also like to say thank you very much, and ask you to say thank you very much to the people who work with us, our road crew who made this all possible today. Yes, it's a rare compliment for the crew. Don't fall over. Today  Corgan: Wait wait hold on, wait James you gotta check this out, wait hold on. Sorry, but I swear, hold on. [Corgan demonstrates something with effects pedal] Iha: Ahaha, thank you very much. Corgan: It's so low you can't hear it. That pedal's still on, Melissa, will you step on that big pedal? Thank you. It's applause. Iha: Thank you, we're back. Um, alright, that was a fantastic song from Siamese Dream. And what's up, what's coming up next? Oh, that doesn't sound old, I think that's a new song. Corgan: Wait, hold up, I don't know what I'm doing. Iha: We just bought this thing, and I don't know, these modern-day keyboards, they have too many crazy sounds on them. Any second, we'll be rocking. Corgan: There we go. Blue Skies Bring Tears  Corgan: Hey, I was thinking just skip the riff, so...think that'd be alright? That last song even scared me. Heavy Metal Machine  Corgan: This is our new drummer, Jimmy Chamberlin. If There is a God (tease) Corgan: It's a porno? These people had sex to our music, and they want us to watch it. Well, that gets pretty much to the root of why we wrote it. We hope you find great inspiration this evening...hey man, I'm not fucking Gunga Din, what do you want? Thank you very much. I'm gonna try to start the song now. If There Is a God Age of Innocence  Corgan: Thanks a lot. 1979 Corgan: Thank you very much, thank you. Thank you. Iha: You guys are awesome. Corgan: Thank you. Thank you, thank you. [encore break] note: 18 minute Q + A not transcribed Corgan: ...I can firmly say that is the last Q + A we will ever do, you were there. Everybody (Backstreet's Back) (tease) Iha: Thank you. Corgan: Jimmy had to go pee, hold on. It was all those...OK, just ask it, I can hear you...who's my lyrical inspiration? I don't know. I rip everybody off, you know. I don't have predjudice against any writer that I'm gonna rip off. Iha: Oh, I love hats, yes. Alright, here we go. Join Together Bullet with Butterfly Wings Rock On / Zero (tease) Corgan: Thank you very much, thank you. Iha: Thanks a lot, goodnight. Corgan: So, if we can proceed in an orderly, pleasant fashion, we wanna each say hello to everybody personally and shake everybody's hand, so once you've come up and said hello, please scoot to the side so everybody can come up and say hello, OK? Again, we can't sign autographs, we'll never get out of here and we won't be able to get everybody in, that's not fair. Iha: Goodnight. I don't think this is gonna work...thanks for comin' out, but this is going to be a catastrophe
