Pale Scales > Heavy Metal Machine > The Everlasting Gaze Glass and the Ghost Children BC: Hello (about 15x in rapid succession). Iha: Hello. BC: Hello! Iha: Hello. BC: Hello, James! Iha: Hello over there Billy, I think. BC: Ça va? Iha: Hello. Ça va bien [unintelligible]. BC: How’s everybody doing tonight? We’re very proud to be opening for Backstreet Boys tonight. They’ll be on in just a minute. Next up, we feature, uh, a ballad. He was the original. He was a boy band on his own. Mr. James Iha. Blew Away > Stand Inside Your Love I of the Mourning BC: Thank you, thank you, thank you. Iha: Thank you. Thank you. BC: Thank you over there, James. I’d like to, uh.... Shh!! I can’t hear myself think, you’re too loud. Like to, um, we’re gonna play a song off our new album, it’s called This Time and uh, I’d like to dedicate this song to my brother and his new wife. Iha: Ah ha, where is Zack? BC: Hopefully he’ll have a better marriage than I did. I know he will so um, love you guys, thank you. This Time > I Am One Le Deux Machina (tape) To Sheila (Billy acoustic w/Iha) BC: Thank you. Iha: A quick introduction of the band at present. On lead vocals and guitar, Mr. Billy Corgan. Woooo! Our boy. On acoustic guitar and drums, Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin. Unh! On the bass (pronounced like the fish) guitar, Ms. Melissa Auf der Maur. Yes. And Jimmy James, thank you. 1979 (acoustic, Jimmy plays guitar) Disarm (acoustic) BC: Thank you, thank you so very much, thank you. Heh heh, thank you. ... We’d like to, um, play one more sort of, uh, meandering, uh, not really sure what it means, uhhh, acoustic-y kinda song-y. This is called Try, Try, Try. Try, Try, Try (acoustic) Rock On > Zero Today Iha: Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. How is everybody out there? The people to the left, how are you doing? Are they really loud? BC: I’ll take them. Iha: People in the center, are you having an okay time? The center. The people to the right of me, are you rocking out? Is Melissa doing a good job over there? BC: Wait wait! Wait! Wait. Iha: Alright. BC: I’m offended by your shameless tactics to rile up the audience. Iha: Alright. (high pitched) How is everybody out there? (normal) How is the set? BC: Don’t you understand the concert’s going really well, you don’t have to resort to lame showbiz tactics. Iha: Well, I was gonna bring out my big, uh, my big shoes but I thought I’d ask them first how they were doing. The clown shoes. So, that was what I saw, wasn’t it? That was Today...and now it is turning evening. The night sky is getting dreamy and dark out. The stars are out in the sky tonight! Tonight, Tonight Blue Skies Bring Tears > Cherub Rock Iha: Thanks. Thanks a lot. [encore break] Blank Page Bullet with Butterfly Wings > Once in a Lifetime [encore break] Iha: Thank you very much, you guys are awesome, thank you. Are there any nice...honorable.... BC: Yes. Yes! I’d like to say that, uh, when we came here on the Adore tour - we only played about 14 shows on the Adore tour and coming here was one of the best shows that we had on that tour. And once again you’ve made this one of the best shows on this tour so thank you. Because, uh, except for Melissa quite frankly, me, James and Jimmy are getting old and without your motivation, we just can’t do it anymore. Iha: That’s why before every show we take a quart of her blood and we drink it. I hope that doesn’t.... BC: That’s why she wears the wristbands! Iha: I don’t know if you think that’s weird or something, I don’t know, but we want to live her forever, ladies and gentlemen. With Every Light (acoustic) Drown
