Glass and the Ghost Children (acoustic)
(BC spoken word before outro: And everywhere she looked, she saw the dreams laying in pieces around her. The shared reflections of who she was and what she wanted to be. To be an inversion as just a girl. And nothing of non-mind girl. Lost and seeking solace and more than a man. (singing) And as she counted the spiders...)
> Today (acoustic)
Stand Inside Your Love (acoustic)
Home (acoustic)
To Sheila (acoustic)
Blue Skies Bring Tears
Glass’ Theme
> The Everlasting Gaze
> Bullet with Butterfly Wings
Dross
> Speed Kills
> Rock On (partial)
(BC after Iha intro: Right about now, señoritas and señors.... We take pause to rock on a little harder, a little softer. It’s a seeming contradiction, but no, it really is the same thing if you think about it. As light needs dark, as white needs black, so the rock does need the breakdown. How you feelin’, how you feelin’? ... Yes indeed, yes indeed. This is what happens when you get old, you resort to cheap histronics. Histrionics. Histrionics.)
> Heavy Metal Machine
Disarm (acoustic)
> Tonight, Tonight
BC: Thank you very much, thank you very much, thank you very much. We are the Smashing Pumpkins. Thank you very much for having us back in your lovely city. I know you’re a feminist but there’s reasons for it, you know? The fairer sex. Yes. Like to take a moment to introduce the band to you. On the piano, Mr. Mike Garson. On the fake piano, Mr. Chris Holmes. On the Gloria Steinem bass, Melissa Auf der Maur. Toro, toro. I see you absorb much culture in your travels. On the geetar, Mr. James Iha. On the avenging toro drums, Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin.
Iha: Mike, you gotta come up with a special for this one. And on vocals and guitar, Mr. Billy Corgan. Olé! Olé! Olé.
Try, Try, Try

I of the Mourning
BC: Muchos gracias. ... Thank you very much for a good concert, thank you very much. Before we play our last song tonight, we’d like to say thank you very much to all the Smashing Pumpkins fans...for ten years. Did everybody have a good time? No, bad time?
Jimmy: Good time?
Iha: (weird accent) "It was the worst concert I ever seen in the world."
