BC: [cuts in] We have come to your beautiful country to kick your ass. I don't know what else to say beyond that.
Geek U.S.A.
BC: Bon giorno! Mangia.
Iha: Paisan, hahaha.
Rocket
Rhinoceros
> Today
BC: Thank you. I hope you're all having a good time. Hope everybody's in love, um, doesn't want to kill anybody, is well fed. Now it's Italy. Here's an old song.
Siva
Soma
I Am One
(BC midsong: What you want is what you get. What you want is what you'll get. What you'll take is not what you want. What you'll take is not anything. Nothing can be taken from me that hasn't already been taken. Nothing can be taken from me that hasn't already been taken. No one knows, no one knows, no one knows....)
Disarm
> Hummer
BC: Hi. So some of these songs are from our new record called Siamese Dream, which I don't know if you can buy anywhere and some of these songs are from our first album called Gish, which I'm sure you definitely can't buy anywhere. So...I don't know. We're sorry if you can't buy our records, heh heh. Yeah, ten million lira, that's how much our records are.
Iha: Heh heh.
BC: Heh, oh ho, you said.
Iha: American jerk, heh heh. Please play something, heh heh.
Quiet
Cherub Rock
BC: Thanks
[encore break]
D’arcy: [cuts in] ...putting women's clothing on. I know you don't understand a word I said, otherwise you wouldn’t say that anyway.
(guitar tuning)
BC: Hey, that's a catchy song.
Iha: There's no need to make fun of us, we understand.
BC: I know, we're stupid Americans, you don't have to tell us.
Drown
> Silverfuck / Over the Rainbow
(Guy in crowd during quiet part before verse 2: James!
BC: He never washes his hair but he’s such a nice guy. Heh heh!)
(During bridge, Billy appears to have something thrown at him by somebody in the front row. He gives the person the finger, then gets a cup of water off the drum riser and dumps it on them. Following a quick drink of water, he picks something up and examines it.)
(BC after bridge, before Over the Rainbow: Heh heh, heh heh! (laughing) (to Iha) What is this again? Haha. A Chiclet.)
