Banter

Iha: Good evening.
Wretzky: Hi.
Iha: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tonight, Tonight
Wretzky: Thank you.
Corgan: This is the coldest fucking place we've ever played, I gotta tell you.
Wretzky: We should be wearing snowsuits.
In the Arms of Sleep
Wretzky: You don't like our pajamas?
Iha: From the sound of your shouting, you must be a college educated man, aren't you? Adult education is a wonderful thing.
Cupid de Locke
Thirty-three
Corgan: We'd just like to -- I don't know if you know, we don't have any of our own equipment because it got caught in this stupid flood bullshit. But um, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden and Pearl Jam loaned us a lot of equipment, so we'd like to thank them again. We were hoping to try and get our own stuff here today, but the helicopter crashed. No I know, it's just not meant to be...can we possibly make this stop doing that, Bruce?
Iha: (unintelligible)
Today
Iha: This is not a soccer match.
Corgan: James, it's 1996, it's the new Pumpkin, feel it.
Lily
Take Me Down
Iha: I'm sorry, have we made this a very somber affair? It's supposed to be a joyous, rockin' affair. Alright, everybody be happy now.
Corgan: Alright, the purpose of this is to relax you before we bludgeon you with the metal...enjoy your ears now.
Iha: There's still gonna be a little bit...
Beautiful
Iha: Oh yes, we're just back in our throat...what it is? Is it a scroll or a bundle? It is a jousting tool perhaps...I'm only gonna throw the guitar out of tune. It's from Vancouver, nothing much goes on up there though.
Corgan: Didn't your mother tell you not to accept anything from strangers?
audience member: Unabomber!
Corgan: You the Unabomber? That's who you are, now I know.
Iha: He's a cyber-man, that's pretty cool. He's a cyber-man too.
Corgan: That's acceptable...
Iha: Yes.
Rocket
Disarm
Wretzky: Thank you.
[set break]
MCIS (PA intro)
Where Boys Fear to Tread
Zero
Fuck You
Corgan: Thank you.
Here Is No Why
audience member: Hey Billy, where's your hair?
Corgan: I cut all my hair off, that's where my fucking hair is. I know that seems like a very obvious statement but this gentleman can't seem to understand, so...
Iha: No, he thinks he's being really cool.
To Forgive
Bullet with Butterfly Wings
Thru the Eyes of Ruby
Corgan: Uno, dos, tres, quatro.
Galapogos
Iha: Well, we're here in Seattle, home of grunge, and we can't really kick out the grunge anymore, but this next song, this next song, we will rock you.
Geek U.S.A.
Cherub Rock
Porcelina of the Vast Oceans
[encore break; tape stopped]
Iha: ...evil hand!
Corgan: You didn't even mean it...you didn't even mean the evil hand, that's the disappointing thing.
Iha: What?
Corgan: You didn't even mean it when you did that at all.
Wretzky: James doesn't mean it? James is one of the most evil people I know!
Iha: I always mean my evil hands, let's see some evil hands.
Wretzky: He might have a pretty face, but let me tell you, he's a heart of stone.
Iha: What? Don't ruin my evil hand moment! Come on, evil hand!
1979
Iha: So, how is everyone? Ok. Uh, any second we'll be rocking you yet again. We're please to be here. How am I doing? I'm fuckin'...I don't know. That's what I wanna hear, we are apathetic, we are lazy. What? You love me, isn't it good to know. I'm but a sham of a man. See, there's only our guys between the stage and the audience. See we keep that so we can rock out a bit, we need that little bit of space there. And now we bring to the stage a contessa -- this guitar was played by bards in eighteenth century England. They would walk the street with tight-knit harmonies, singing and playing on the contessa guitar.
Wretzky: And their tight-knit trousers.
Iha: Very...what'd you say, tight knit trousers?!
X.Y.U.
[encore break; tape stopped]
Iha: The roar of the crowd is deafening. Thank you! See we need that kind of encouragement after a pummeling set of songs, we need to hear "you rock!" Wretzky: Because we're so insecure...
Iha: What's wrong with that, they just wanna hear the rock, you know...I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
Wretzky: No he's not...
Iha: I'm not. Everyone just chill out.
Corgan: Jonathon Melvoin, please report to the stage. Jonathon Melvoin.
Iha: That's our keyboard player...
By Starlight
Silverfuck / Drown / Never Let Me Down
Farewell and Goodnight
Iha: Goodnight.
Wretzky: Thank you.
