Corgan: Hello. Can I ask if everyone would sit down? It makes for a better concert. I promise, everyone's happier, I swear. Iha: Also, our drummer Jimmy, he's sick, so...we were gonna rock out the house with him, but... Corgan: Hey...So we're just gonna, since Jimmy's not here we're just gonna play one song and then everybody can go home, so...you guys don't really wanna see us without Jimmy anyway. You cried the same cry in 98, Jimmy who? No, he's got uh... Iha: There's something wrong with his eye. Corgan: He has a missile in his eye. Sorry um... Iha: How's everybody doing? This Time Today If There Is a God / Glass and the Ghost Children  Corgan: Thank you very much, thank you. Thank you everybody. Does anyone need to stand up for a minute to sit back down? There you go, I see that guy. Alright, we're taking a standing break. Ok...how do you feel James? Iha: I am ok. Corgan: He looks sad? She says you look sad. This is what he looks like when he's happy, you should see him when he looks sad. Iha: There is any inner joy that you're not seeing. Corgan: Alright class, sit back down, it's time for the test. Is everybody OK? Cause um, we were up all night hanging out in Miami, so we're really tired, if you want us to quit now, it's cool. Disarm  Corgan: Yes I do...I have a couple more good years left, I swear. Heavy Metal Machine 1979  Corgan: Thank you. Iha: Thanks, thank you all. [encore break] Iha: Yes we're back, jackpot. Corgan: It's never over! Iha: So, um, I'd like to quickly introduce our new bassist, miss Melissa auf der Maur, she is having a hell of a time. And um, so with Jimmy not being here today, he was actually out in the ocean boogie-boarding, and he was boogie boarding along off the shore by the hotel, and this jellyfish, this little jellyfish landed right on his eye, and right now they're both in the hospital and we're trying to save both of them. As far as I know, the jellyfish, Jimmy is in stable condition, the jellyfish is in um, I guess it's in the emergency room right now. Apparently the jellyfish, he's a real fighter, and the jellyfish has given 110 percent out there, and we are all praying for the jellyfish to make it through. Alright, we are going to do another new song from our new album which will come out later this month, and we are coming back to do a regular tour in a couple of month, and we hope you'll all be there, and we thank you all for coming today.
