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 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.
