Disarm Rocket I Am One (Aggressive rendition, long drum intro) Of note: during standard 'nothing' rant, Corgan: I don't believe in TV, I don't believe in Ben and Jerry's.

Corgan: I'd like to bring the concert to a complete standstill with this one, James, if you don't mind. [To Iha, unintelligible] for the people. Iha: OK. Geek U.S.A. Today Spaceboy Corgan: As you can see, an environment like this creates the best possible environment for a rock show like this, as 50% of you are sitting down and the other half is yawning. I'm really happy to participate in this rock experience. For those of you who are fans of our band, thank you, for fans of our band, this will be the last time you'll ever see us in an environment like this, because it's absolutely not conducive to a good rock concert, as you can tell. Thank you anyway. For those of you who don't care, sorry. Well seeing how we're boring the fuck out of you, we'll just play a bunch of songs you don't know. This is an unreleased song called Frail and Bedazzled. Frail and Bedazzled Iha: Here's another... Corgan: Here's another song you don't know, it's called Plume. Plume Corgan: Thank you. Does anyone know how much time we have left? We're not going to even bother to go off for encore, so if you're bored, go home, or we'll just play [unintelligible].. We only have about five more shows to go, so. Iha: Two oh Corgan: Huh? Iha: Two oh Corgan: We have twenty minutes. If anyone has any requests Iha: But if you've taken acid, that's 20 million light years. Corgan: I don't know what this is, but if we knew it, we'd play it Iha: [unintelligible] Shout out for that Ace of Base sound, that's what they want. Corgan: We can play something off our first album, our second album, or our b-sides. First album? Second album? First album? I think the first album wins. After our tour ends we're not going to play a lot of these old songs anymore. [unintelligible] We don't know how to play that song anymore. Siva Corgan: Thank you. Daydream Iha: Thank you. Starla Pissant Songs appears to end, but band begins to banter... Iha: Interpretive dancing. Corgan: So, good night, see you in a couple of years. Iha: Interpretive dancing Corgan: Thank you for your support Wretzky: And that's all, folks Corgan: Let's go for a ride down where the crickets run, down where the crickets learn to sing and play [spoken lyrics of Pissant continued] Iha: Come on along for a fantastic voyage. Slide, slide, slippity-slide, when you're living in the village it's do or die Corgan: I know what you're saying brother. Alright. Pissant continues and ends. During various guitar riffing, Iha rants: I know that shit you're playing, man. Playing that wack San Francisco sound. If you're going to fucking San Francisco, wear motherfucking flowers in your hair, if you're going to fucking San Francisco, wear motherfucking flowers in your motherfucking hair. Come on.
