Where Boys Fear to Tread
Zero
Corgan: Hi. Thank you for coming, nice to see you. We are the Smashing Pumpkins.
Fuck You
Corgan: Thank you. Thank you very much.
To Forgive
Tonight, Tonight
Today
Thru the Eyes of Ruby / By Starlight
Corgan: Thank you very much. I think this is about the 20th time we've played here, and we'd just like to say thank you to all the people who've supported us over the past 6-7 years. When we come here it feels almost like playing Chicago, so that's about the best compliment I could give you.
Iha: The thing is, is that we hate Chicago, we hate our home town.
Corgan: No you don't, he's such a liar.
Iha: Levity, levity, I'm just kidding.
Corgan: He's got this new complex because he looks like the ice cream man. So uh, Ethan could you turn on the lights for a second.
Iha: Hello Cleveland! Hello Cleveland!
Corgan: We just wanna say hi to you way up there.
Iha: Hello! How the bloody fuck are you?
Corgan: Yeah, we see you too.
Iha: Are you fucking rocking? Yes, of course you're rocking, you're in Cleveland.
Wretzky: I bet everybody comes here and does the Spinal Tap thing, don't they.
Corgan: Well we basically have turned into Spinal Tap, so I don't really have a problem anymore.
Wretzky: You've pretty much done it every time we've been here I think.
Corgan: I mean we don't have Stonehenge, but we have the cone.
Wretzky: (unintelligible)...you can't really see it, but it is a giant cone.
Iha: Ladies and gentlemen, a moment of silence for the cone. Hey! Hey! Shut the fuck up man, we're talking about the fucking cone!
Corgan: I don't know if you can see it, but there's little leprechauns that work up in there, it's kind of interesting. So again, thank you for coming, you're the best, thanks so much. Now we will play another sad song.
Disarm
Bullet with Butterfly Wings
Cherub Rock
Porcelina of the Vast Oceans / Beautiful / Rocket
Corgan: Thanks again. We'd like to uh, play our favorite song, or one of our favorite songs, they're all our favorite songs, but this is one of our favorite favorite songs, and we hope it's one of your favorites too. It's called Sonic Intuition. You don't know it, it hasn't come out yet.
Muzzle
Corgan: Thanks.
[encore break]
Iha: Alright.
Corgan: Thank you.
Iha: A rose by another other name...
Corgan: I used to like flowers, I used to like flowers.
Iha: Then what happened?
Corgan: Ugh! I don't like them anymore.
Iha: They symbolize...
Corgan: Somebody once beat me up with a flower, every time I see that flower I think about getting hit.
Iha: thrashed by a daisy.
Corgan: James, would you like to give them the warning?
Iha: Um, alright. On this next song, hey, hey, hey, listen up, hey, come on, listen up! On this next song, I want everybody to dance and have fun.
Corgan: Wait, say that one more time with a little more passion.
Iha: Come on, come on, you know what I'm talking about, you know what I'm talking about. I want you to dance, I want you to have fun, I want you to get going, get it on, fuck that shit, it's a fucking rock and roll concert, I'm fuckin' busting dope ass rhymes, fucking yeah.
1979
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida (tease)
Iha: Billy C on the guitar's got that blues.
Corgan: We've got that wack-ass Chicago blues!
Iha: You know what I'm saying. Ow! Ow! Damn! Damn that shit's hot, come on. Hot! If I can't see you tomorrow, maybe next week, maybe next week we can get it on. Alright, alright, I'm sorry, I'll just stop talking.
Corgan: We apologize to the city of Cleveland and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for that terrible display. We thought we could play the blues, forgive. Alright, time to descend to the inner regions of your skull, you probably haven't been there too much but we're going to take you there now, please enjoy.
X.Y.U.
[encore break]
Iha: Thanks, thanks. Sorry that took so long, I just got a touch of botulism.
Corgan: Is everybody still out there or what?
Mayonaise
