'''Space Oddity'''<br>
Corgan: We do not play the blues. We do not play jazz. We play songs of the heart. [unintelligible] ... c'est bon. So thank you, we hope you have a good time. We're blessed... we're blessed to be with you. I'd introduce the band to you... [to Jeff] You're not in your spot. On the guitar, Jeff Schroeder. Jeff, you have... [? big plans, unintelligible], right?<br>
'''Starz / Dazed and Confused'''<br>
Schroeder: Ya, in a former life. I was torn apart trying to pay for it. <br>
> '''Rocket'''<br>
Corgan: On the drums, the young, ... [unintelligible], the searching, the probing, the penetrating Michael Byrne. Mike did not know love until we came to France. On the bass guitar the lovely Nicole Fiorentino. How come you always get extra cheers? You get more cheers than I do.<br>
'''Quasar'''<br>
Fiorentino: [unintelligible] Yea, that's their favorite instrument. <br>
> '''Disarm'''<br>
Corgan: That? <br>
'''Tonite Reprise'''<br>
Fiorentino: The bass, it's their favorite instrument.<br>
> '''Tonight, Tonight'''<br>
Corgan: Oh, the bass. We'd like to carry on... you want to play a bass solo, or...? [Schroeder laughs; cheers] I can play a bass solo.<br>
'''Bullet with Butterfly Wings'''<br>
Fiorentino: Do it. [Corgan plays on her bass, Schroeder and Byrne join in; applause]<br>
'''Pinwheels'''<br>
Corgan: Stanley Clarke is looking for me right now. Stanley Clarke. [audience: "Billy!"] Yes. What's my name? [Billy-chant] My name is fucking Pierre... Piere Cologne [?] ... [unintelligible] <br>
BC: Bonsoir. Thank you very much for being with us tonight. We do not play the blues. We do not play jazz. We play songs of the heart. Sacré Coeur. C’est bon. Billy c’est bon. So thank you, we hope you have a good time. We're blessed - we're blessed to be with you. Like to introduce the band to you. ''(to Jeff)'' You're not in your spot. On the guitar, Jeff Schroeder. Jeff, you’re from France, right?<br>
Fiorentino: You played the bass guitar.<br>
Jeff: Yeah, in a former life. ''(laughing)'' I was Joan of Arc’s boyfriend.<br>
Corgan [to audience]: Today? Today? [cheers] No, it's tonight. Make sure to... [unintelligible] tomorrow. I will meet you tomorrow. No, tomorrow. <br>
BC: On the drums, the young, the erstwhile, the searching, the probing, the penetrating Michael Byrne. Mike did not know love until he came to France. On the bass guitar, the lovely Nicole Fiorentino.<br>
Fiorentino: Oh it's fun.<br>
Nicole: Bonsoir. ... I like your comedy. Hope everybody’s having fun, yes?<br>
Corgan: [unintelligible]… you can't stop them. I love the French accent, it's just so [?]. To my untrained, unsophisticated American ears it just sounds like [imitates voice] wazazasasa. So we'd like to carry on now. This is the title track from our album Oceania. We hope you enjoy the journey, it is called Oceania.<br>
BC: How come you always get extra cheers? You get more cheers than I do.<br>

Nicole: They love their bass.<br>
BC: We'd like to carry on. ''(Nicole plays a second of distorted bass)'' You want to play a bass solo or...?<br>
Jeff: Heh heh heh heh, yeah! Come on.<br>
Nicole: [unintelligible sentence or two.] I don’t do that.<br>
BC: I can play a bass solo.<br>
Nicole: Do it! Do we have time for this?<br>
''(Billy plays on her bass, Jeff and Mike join in)''<br>
Nicole: That was really awkward.<br>
BC: Stanley Clarke is looking for me right now. Stanley Clarke. Yes. What's my name?<br>
Nicole: Who are you?<br>
BC: My name’s fuckin’ Pierre. Pierre Cordon!<br>
Nicole: Pardon ''(French pronunciation)''.<br>
BC: ''(French accent)'' I wear the stripey shirts and...<br>
Nicole: ''(French accent)'' And you play the bass guitar.<br>
BC: ''(French accent)'' Today? Today? No, tonight. ''(normal)'' Actually, for you tomorrow. I will meet you tomorrow. No, tomorrow.<br>
Nicole: Oh, it's fun.<br>
BC: The Gauls, you can't stop ‘em. Heh heh heh heh. I love the French accent, it's just so good. To our untrained, unsophisticated American ears, it just sounds like ''(imitates French talking)''. So we'd like to carry on now!<br>
