Tonight Tonight
Corgan: We love you!
Cherub Rock
Where Boys Fear To Tread
Iha: Thank you
Corgan: Goodnight -- Hello people! Welcome!
Iha: To the rock show
Corgan: We're gonna kick it right in right now, this goes back to 1990, this is called Rhinoceros
Rhinoceros
Corgan: Thank you. Thank you all very much. We'd like to do a song now most of you probably skip over every time you get to it on your CD. It's a nice song, most of you probably still like it, it's called Here is No Why.
Here is No Why
Zero
Corgan: We got a thunderstorm going on up here, it's a rock and roll thunderstorm. It's not a tsunami, it's not a hurricane, it's called Fuck You
Fuck You
Corgan: That one's for you, people.
Porcelina of the Vast Oceans / Rocket
Corgan: Thank you all very much. How's everybody doing? Thanks to all of you for waiting so long for us to come to your town/area. We'd like to now play you our newest hit single, number one in South Africa, this is called Thirty-three.
Thirty-three
Corgan: Does everyone know what the world is? No, it's not a piece of shit. What's the world? What is the world?
Iha: Come on people! Give me an answer! Can I get a witness?
Corgan: The world is a blood-sucking whore? No. The world is a turtle on drugs? No.
Iha: Can we get any other answers up here? Anyone been to college around here, know any people at UMass? (unintelligible)
Corgan: We're not playing this next song until we find out what the world is.
Iha: What? I can't fuckin' hear you!
Bullet with Butterfly Wings
Iha: Hey. Glad you're back with us rocking. See we just watched this live Sabbath home video tape, it was about 1975...
Corgan: Stop! Stop! Don't!
Iha: These people wanna know...we're trying to rock you...
Corgan: Don't! You're gonna ruin it, and then it's like the bubble is burst, don't ruin it.
Iha: I was gonna give you an insight into rock and roll
Corgan: And you also should know not to wrap your hand around the microphone, that's why it's made of metal.
Iha: I don't care, see, it doesn't matter.
Corgan: That's how punk rock James Iha is.
Iha: well, anyways, we watched this videotape.
Corgan: Stop!
Iha: How 'bout that? You stop.
Corgan: I'm gonna kick your fucking ass!
Iha: I'm just trying to keep these people informed...you can't handle the truth. Corgan: I am the truth, James.
Iha: Do you people wanna know the truth? The rock and roll truth? It's in this next song.
Corgan: Do you people wanna know the truth? I'm very sure. We are here to cater to your needs now, don't want to disappoint you. Alright, this next song, you probably haven't heard it, it's about number twelve on the CD, so you don't really get down there much. But if you have heard it, I hope you like it.
Muzzle
Disarm
Thru the Eyes of Ruby
(encore break)
Iha: alright! ladies and gentlemen, you wanted show business, we give you our very own special guest, all the way from Milwaukee, of the Frogs, ladies and gentlemen Jimmy Frog! Jimmy Frog will lead us into this next song. We'll dance our way into it.
Corgan: Now that I've thought about it, we should've written a theme for Jimmy.
Iha: His purpose is strange right now, in a few minutes it will seem very clear. Jimmy, say a few words to the people of Amherst...
Jimmy: This next song is called Zipper Blues.
Corgan: Oh, you obviously like that part of the show.
1979
Corgan: Showbiz, right?
Starla
(encore break)
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida
Iha: So we've been there and we've done that, and now we're in for a cyber odyssey, and it's called...
Billy: Tell them we don't wanna play any more songs.
Iha: What shall we play then, people?
Corgan: I'm a free spirit, I just wanna jam.
Iha: We can do that. I think we might bore these people, but we can jam.
Corgan: Just kidding with you, like to take this last second to thank everybody very much for coming, thank you very much for sticking around...(inaudible)...hope you've had a good time. Of course, how many people here are in college right now? Everything the old man's told you that was good, is bad. College, waste of fuckin' time.
Iha: That's why we discovered rock and roll.
Corgan: But you understand, we like these awkward moments, we really thrive on them. You're now going to get a scintillating version of X.Y.U., to sear into your consciousness, you may find it impossible...oh look, there goes some people now, we're boring them. They have to go snort some cocaine now.
Iha: They're now running, fleeing the coliseum.
X.Y.U.
