MCIS (over PA) Rocket (abandoned) Corgan: thank you I Am One Corgan: We'd like to thank everybody for comin' tonight, thank you. This next song, uh, we'd like to play for you, is a...is a, was a, was a song that was written I think around 1989, and um-(audience member: Spiteface!)-no no, it wasn't Spiteface, no, this is uh, this is uh, what am I trying to say, this is one of the songs I think where we first realised uh, the sort of sound that we, had so uh, this is why I wanted to play it for you tonight. Rhinoceros (false start) Corgan: Even on our last show we can't get it right...are you...hey wait, something keeps being jacked up, and as long as we're stopped we might as well, something keeps being jacked up, alright, we're gonna play a different song now, I think it's this mic. Rhinoceros Shame Porcelina Of The Vast Oceans The Everlasting Gaze Bullet With Butterfly Wings Corgan: Thank you very much, thank you...so we've got a little um, present for everyone when they leave tonight...it's a signed christmas card James! No acutally, we made cd's for everybody of our first show here at Metro. Iha: I don't know if you guys like Little Feat, but we did a whole cover set of Little Feat songs, that's our first show here. Corgan: Yeah, it's um, it's 38 minutes long, that's all they would let us play back then, yes, we played Spiteface, you've been waiting for um, 12 years to hear that song...you wanna hear a little Spiteface? Spiteface (tease) Corgan: That's the last time we're ever gonna play that. Iha: Another last time right there. Corgan: You know, we were, we were here last night rehearsing, and uh, there were some stupid crazy kids outside waiting, and last night when we were rehearsing, I was sort of, you know, as you will, you reminisce about all the shows that we've played here, and the one thing that sort of struck me was, um back in the old days when they used to put the monitors back here and you used to stand back here, there was this spot on the stage that was sort of wobbly...I don't know if they've ever fixed it, but uh, everytime I'd go to sing, the mic would go like... Iha: We certainly had a different kind of sound back then, so uh...wobbly. Corgan: Now we'd like to play you a song off the Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness album...it's not a bad album, sorry. Thru The Eyes Of Ruby Corgan: I'd like to bring out a couple of special guests...we have uh, a bunch of special guests tonight...he's the most dangerous man in the world, Dennis and Jimmy Flemion of the Frogs. Blissed And Gone Corgan: Would you like to sing a little love story Dennis? Love story? '''Where Do I Begin? (Love Theme) (tease)''' Corgan: Don't be shy, this is, this is Linda Strawberry...she's very famous in Romania, number one. To Sheila Corgan: Linda Strawberry...thank you to the Frogs. Mayonaise I Of The Mourning (Set Break) Corgan: We've got a special guest right now, mister Matt Walker. Muzzle Corgan: Thank you very much. Stand Inside Your Love (abandoned) Corgan: It's our last show people, jeez...see you can't have a love song in F#, it just doesn't work...it's a G kind of thing...as long as we're stopped though, I'd like to say, uh, I wrote this song for my girlfriend up there...where are you Yelena?..(unintelligible)..I think she's left the building-(audience member: I love you!)-I love you too. Stand Inside Your Love Corgan: Thank you, how's everybody feelin'? Perfect Corgan: Thank you very much...this uh, this next song, is interesting because uh, for this particular case, because, when I wrote this song it was pretty much the last song I wrote for the Machina albums, and uh, I knew the band was going to break up, so I guess this is sorta prophetic, this song...that's ok, there'll be another concert to talk...it's a Pumpkin joke...so this is This Time This Time Corgan: Now I'd like to introduce the man on the mic, mister James Iha. Iha: Thank you...one, two, one two three four. Go Corgan: Uh...so this is uh, the last song I wrote for Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness, this is called the Last Song. The Last Song The Last Instrumental Age Of Innosence (Piano Improv) Thirty-Three (Set Break) Tonight, Tonight Corgan: Next song, you ready there James? Siva Corgan: Hello...have you had enough yet?...Have you had enough yet? I don't know, you like you may have had enough...we got a little treat for ya right here well if ya hadn't had enough, you're gonna have to, huh? If you hadn't you're gonna have enough after this one... Fuck You Drown Starla If There Is A God Cash Car Steal Rock On/Heavy Metal Machine Corgan: Thank you very much, thank you very much, the end has arrived...*laughs*...yes, it is the final song. I can't believe we got there, you got there, thank you very much...we wanna say thank you for havin' the greatest fans in the world, the most absolute amazing people in the world...of course we don't believe that bullshit but it sounds good when you say it...we love you too...so one more song, everybody sing along for a change. Today (Encore Break) Corgan: Thank you very much, thank you, heh, um, before we play any more, I'd like to uh, say a little prayer, I'd like to thank god for getting us around this earth five times, safely, and giving us the will and the way to uh, I don't know, yes, thank you, and god, thank god, I'd like to say a very special thank you to all the families of the Pumpkins, both friends and real, the Wretzkys, the uh, the Ihas, the Chamberlins, the Corgans, the Andersons, the Walkers, the Flemions, I'd like to say thank you very much for the support you've given us over the years, I'd like to say thank you to all of you, 'cause without you, obviously this wouldn't happen, I think we...I think we've tried to show you that we've never forgotten that part of it, and uh, I'm too spaced out...I'd like to say thank you to our enemies for pushing us to try harder and be better so uh, thank you very much...oh yeah, and one more thing, I'd like to say thank you to the people we've lost through the years, thank you for being a part of our lives...I'd now like to bring out a special guest, he's cool, he's bald, he's my father...he does have more hair than me, I don't know how this worked out...it's a sort of, it's a genetic mistake.
