Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness Where Boys Fear to Tread Zero Fuck You  Corgan: Thanks. By Starlight Tonight, Tonight Corgan: Hello. Iha: Bongiorno! Corgan: Thank you very much for coming to the show. (noodles on guitar). That was our new direction for those of you wondering...a jazz album...yeah. Iha: Why? Simply, today, is the greatest day. Today Cherub Rock Thru the Eyes of Ruby Drown/Hummer (tease) Corgan: Thank you very much. La Dolly Vita (tease)  Corgan: We like to play you, um...our new single. This is Thirty-three. Thirty-three/Sweet Sweet (tease)  Corgan: Thank you very much. Is everyone havin' a good time? Was anyone here when we played in uh, 1994? Hello again. As you can see, we are now the happy pumpkins, not the sad ones. Disarm Bullet with Butterfly Wings Corgan: Thank you very much...so uh, what do you wanna hear? Well, this person has a sign that says Snail, we don't remember how to play that. And Soma and Geek, we don't remember how to play those songs either. Iha: Well, we're gonna play this other song. Its in honor of Thanksgiving, this is Ode To A Lonely Turkey, we hope you enjoy it. Corgan: Just remember that when you're eating that turkey, it was once a free, happy turkey. Iha: With a mind! With a mind of its own... Corgan: And soon the Turkey will be in your belly, and you will feel guilty. Iha: Guilt! (unintelligible) Corgan: Hope everyone has a nice thanksgiving, all guilty and stuff... Muzzle Porcelina of the Vast Oceans/Rocket (tease) (encore break) Iha: Thank you everybody. How is everybody? Great, rocking? Reasonably? We haven't been too psychedelic? You're still with us? You're still with the time, everybody? Ain't got no selector, alright. With these next songs we journey oh-so-far back, pre-grunge. This is our classic paradise set. We hope you enjoy it, this is from our fourth album, waterloo. Siva Mayonaise Corgan: Thanks, god bless you. (encore break) Iha: How are ya? Ladies and gentlemen, we have--we have entered into the full scale entertainment part of our arena rock cliche. So we will bring out a special guest. Ladies and gentlemen, all the way from Milwaukee, a great state, also great, Jimmy Frog! Hey...Jimmy Frog. Jimmy Frog! Oh I can see the excitement on their faces. And ladies and gentlemen, on the keyboards, from the band nightranger, Dennis Flemion! Any of you who are fans of sister christian, we have him right here. Happy to play keyboards with us, rock out in the 90's. And now...and now! The man behind the drums, Matt Cosmo Walker! Matt Cosmo Walker is a likeable guy (unintelligible) and he's happy to be here with us, rockin' for you. And now, we've entered into what we would deem...audience participation. Corgan (as Iha continues to mutter): I don't know...most of the audience has left, I'm not sure if theres anyone to participate with...it's a dubious position. Would anyone here like to come on stage and dance? Jimmy, choose the dancers. Iha: Oh yeah, come on, fuckin' people on the rock stage...I gotta feel it, come on people! Get those hands in the air like you just don't care! Come on! (continues muttering)...Jimmy, pick our dancers! Alright! Oh yeah...you're so fucking mellow man! Oh yeah...alright. We have our dancers. Alright, Jimmy. Jimmy, have you picked the dancers? Alright dancers, come--come ye hither. Hello dancers. Where are you from? Corgan: Come close...come close, the pumpkin king will not hurt you.

Iha: I belive, I believe that is the (unintelligible) Corgan: All I'll say is that we're from the north, and I'm glad we won the war. Iha: Whoa! Wretzky: (unintelligible)...from New Orleans! Iha: (unintelligible) Corgan: Ok, dancers...Mister Iha has some instructions, please pay attention to the rules. Iha: Ok, we have two rules for our dancers, two rules. Corgan: I think we should have three rules. Iha: Three rules, I'll make up one. Um...don't eat red meat, go to college, and become me. Um, two rules for our dancers, do not touch us, and do not touch our shit. Corgan: Now there's a third rule, I got a third rule. Iha: Yes, what is the third rule? Corgan: If you're gonna dance on stage, you have to pretend you're having a good time. Iha: Yes, yes...alright, and for those of you who cannot dance with us onstage, I encourage you to dance on stage with us, but do it in your mind, yes. Any people who've got this disease will know what I'm talking about. 1979 Iha: Shocking as that seemed, its (unintelligible), we got some fine enthusiasm for our dancers, so lets have a round of applause for our dancers. Corgan: This will be our final selection of the evening, thank you very much for coming. We appreciate the support very much, and we hope you had a good time, enjoy the concert. Please go home safely, all those kind of things. Iha: Have a, have a happy Thanksgiving. The End Is The Beginning Is The End (tease) Starla/Beautiful Corgan: Thanks...bye bye.
