Banter
Stumbleine Corgan: Thank you. This next song is a song I originally writ, writ?, writ?.. about a cat. So, make no mistake, it's not an obsessive love song about a cat, but it started out that way. It's called Lily Lily Corgan: And just a subtle reminder to those of you that are talking, I can hear every word you're saying. It charms my heart to know that you stood in line to talk. That's why I grew up to do this. Various teases with crowd singalongs Towers of Rabble Corgan: You people know you're being taped tonight? These are for our own, we make these films then we masturbate to them at home. It's the only way I can cum anymore. Sorry, you're all over 21, at least you're pretending to be. This next song is actually kind of an old Siamese Dream era-ish song that's been resurrected for consumption. And it goes like this, one, two, three, four. Meladori Magpie Corgan: I give you, James Iha Iha: Any minute we'll be rocking but you'll have to endure one more Prozac-like ballad. So, just hold your horses. It's a slow quiet one so... Take Me Down Iha: And now, we will rock. Corgan: I'm sorry about the music today, there's not much I can do about it....Alright, now we're going to play some songs that there's no fucking way you can talk over Iha: [unintelligible] Corgan: You're a bunch of talkers. What Billy doesn't understand is, I'm so caught up in the vibe that I just, I lost it. Iha: Hey man I went to Asylum today, there was this really great sale sign and they got this clock radio and[unintelligible] Corgan: James, remember, this is new positive style of pumpkins we're going for. The audience is not the enemy, the enemy is us Iha: we are floating down a river like lilipads Corgan: Why's there no damn backlight, that's what I want to know. Can't play without backlight. Tonight, Tonight Corgan: Sorry my voice is shot, I sound like a robot. This is g, o, d God Corgan: Thanks a lot Zero Here Is No Why Corgan: Thanks. It's too punky. Are you ready, James? Cupid de Locke Fuck You Love Corgan: Thank you so very much. Like a broken record, I'd like to remind you that these shows are for charity. And the reason I bring this up is because I'd like everyone to donate what they can. It's not a matter of how much, it's just a matter of how, so I encourage you to take some responsibility for your community and for people who need your help. That's all I'll say in the preaching area Porcelina of the Vast Oceans Corgan: It's the only one I got... it's not the kind I play. The dreaded camera Iha: [unintelligible] the cameraman down in the front row Corgan: I think you've got enough footage of us looking like shit. Speed Corgan: How's about you giving that[unintelligible]... thank you, we appreciate that. I'd like to do another immensely sad one for you. Let me tell you something, sadness has gotten us really far, ok. Joy never did me a damn bit of good. Galapogos Corgan: Thank you for being so patient. We realize there's a lot of songs you've never heard before. We're very happy to move on in our lives. [James plays Today tease] Corgan: Anyway, that's yesterday, isn't it? Bullet with Butterfly Wings Corgan: Thank you Iha, in exaggerated high pitch voice, teases Fly by Night [Rush] Jellybelly Intermission 1... By Starlight Iha: Now that you people are so excited, we will play a song from our latest album Vitalogy. Corgan: This one's called I ripped off that I Am One groove. The fire alarm... Iha: Whoever said moshpit please go to college or take a bill of education or something Corgan: No, no, no, this is the new positive Pumpkins, take that back Iha (fey-voiced): Let's rock and roll guys. Frail and Bedazzled Corgan: So tomorrow begins the official first day of our new album recording, so this will be the last rock show for about seven or eight months. Wish us luck, thank you for coming. Maybe this is the last appearance ever Iha: Oh my god! Corgan: Maybe this is the last song we'll ever play, I don't know Iha: That's right! Corgan: But tomorrow is a new day and a new dawn is rising Iha: I see it through the colored windows of my mind Corgan: Right over there, right by the MTV camera guy, a new future Iha: Any second we'll be kicking off one of those rock jams that are so much fun in these sweaty... I see you have a Frogs shirt, do you like the Frogs? They're good friends of ours and we snort cocaine with them. Never Let Me Down [Depeche Mode] Corgan: I'm sorry I messed up this song. Intermission 2... Corgan: We don't care if you want another encore or not, we're just gonna play all night. I can't wait to play Siamese Dream, all the way through. Yeah! Iha: Then we're doing Aerosmith Rocks [unintelligible] Here we go. Hey man [unintelligible] As premiered we kick out a country, another country jam. Blew Away Corgan: So who was the last person to get a ticket. Ok that's a lot of people Wretzky: There can be only one Corgan: Who is that one? Iha: The man with the BLT sandwich, there it is Corgan: I don't know ticket 215... who has the last ticket, we have special prizes for you Iha: If you come on up, we'll show you Corgan: Do you truly have the last ticket, are you serious? Iha: And if you can rap, that would be a bonus Corgan: I would assume the last number would be, 500? Friends and families of the Pumpkins are not included. Is this the man or is he a liar? You're the man? Iha: can you rap? Corgan: Ticket 500, special winner! Iha: Alright, let's play the special winner song. Corgan: We'll give you back the ticket in a second Wretzky: You don't really win anything, but you're just special Iha: Let me see your fuckin' hands in the air. Come on, let's see your hands, kickin out that dope beat. C'mon let me see your hands, let's see them like you just don't care, let get in the fuckin' air. Jump you motherfucker, I don't care how white you are, jump, yeah I'm feeling it right now. My name's is James, I'm playing your game. Ow your fire is hot, can I put it in your pot? I don't think so! D'arcy Wretzky on the motherfucking bass, what a groove she's kickin'. A smoother groove would be one by Jimmy Chamberlin, the Joliet mustard, the Joliet mustard Jimmy Chamberlin! On the lead vocal kicking that dope ass rock, Billy Corgan, c'mon! I know you got it in you, yea, come on, oh yeh fuck yeh. C'mon, c'mon you people right now, do something. You fuckin' lazy ass shit, get in the fuckin' air. Come on! Alright we're doing it smooth at the Double Door owned by Joe Shanahan. We'd like to thank everyone for coming out tonight on the awards: Mark Williams, a man called Flood, a man called Kevin Dancer, Andy Gorschov, Michael Listig. C'mon let's hear it for them... Corgan: If you, hold on to your ticket, and if you wait after the show and give us your name, we'll send you some cool stuff. Hey think about this person right here, if he gotten up 5 seconds later, he wouldn't be here. You should ask this man for lotto numbers. And you have a job? Well if you're listening to us you probably wouldn't be working [unintelligible] Just kidding. What now? Would you like to say that to my face sir? Hey tough guy. Iha: I think not Corgan: Hey would you like to say that to my face? It's funny how anonimity breeds courage. Hey you're the same guy whose been at every Lollapalooza show heckling us. We send you a collective fuck off. Muzzle Pissant...during rant, Corgan: I just want to say one thing to you, you young college lughead types. I've been watching people like you stomp around on other people for seven years. And you know what? it's the same shit and I wish you'd understand that in an environment like this and a setting like this, it's fairly inappropriate and unfair to the people around you. I and we take a stand against moshing. It's time has come and gone, it has ceased to be a spontaneous act. And when it's in Miller Lite beer commercials on a selling point, you know its time has gone. And when you see it in the new Offspring video, you know it's time has gone. But when you see it in our new video, you know it's time has returned. Old school, James, old school. Hey yeah, throw that guy off, that was the guy who was mean to me. A little thing called karma. Don't hurt him, he's stupid, he can't help it. I Just Wanna Make Love to You [Dixon] Corgan: Thank you, good night, au revoir, see you next time. It's why God gave me buck-teeth.
