Rock On
> The Everlasting Gaze
Pug
Glass and the Ghost Children
BC: Good evening. I'd like to introduce to you the man to my left, your right, yes. His name, Mr. James Iha.
Blew Away
> Stand Inside Your Love
BC: Thank you very much, thank you. How is everybody doing tonight? I've never been to this place before, Berkeley. Isn't this the place responsible for hippies?
Iha: It’s a scene.
BC: That's what I heard.
Iha: The scene responsible for all counter-culture.
BC: Yes. Well I know my favorite writer in the world, Philip K. Dick, used to live here, so I know it's a good place. Does anyone know Philip K. Dick? Okay, good. That was his name, I swear. This next song is uh, it's from the archives. I believe when I wrote this song, I had a pulse.
Iha: Now, it's just flat, flatlining.
BC: That's right, flat, flat for the new millenium. We hope you like this song, this is Tonight, Tonight.
Tonight, Tonight
I of the Mourning
Le Deux Machina (tape)
To Sheila (Billy acoustic w/Iha)
BC: Thank you. This next song that I'd like to play for you, I'm pretty sure was the last song that I wrote for the new album which is coming in, I think, three weeks. And um...yes, it's called Machina: The Machines of God. I think it's coming out in about three weeks, yeah. And this is one of those sort of funny songs where you just wake up one day and you pick up the guitar and it just sort of comes out and what makes it even stranger is I wrote this song in the afternoon and then called Jimmy and said can you come in to record the drums and then he showed up and we played the song maybe about twice and then hit record and then two times later, he recorded the drum take, so.... Yes, he's very good at that. So, it's a song that even though I wrote it, I feel like I'm covering someone else's song because it just all happened so fast. So, it's a pretty good song, written by this guy. You may have heard of him, he's in this band the Smashing Pumpkins.
This Time (Billy solo acoustic)
Disarm (acoustic)
BC: Thank you. Like to introduce the band to you...because once the drugs kick in, we cannot remember our names. On lead guitar, the Eel.
Iha: Thank you.
BC: On lead bass, the Silver Fox. On lead drums, Manchichi the Marsupial.
Iha: Ladies and gentlemen, on lead vocals and guitar, the Crafty Zygote.
Try, Try, Try (acoustic)
Today
Fuck You
Blue Skies Bring Tears
Heavy Metal Machine
> Bullet with Butterfly Wings
> Once in a Lifetime
[encore break]
Iha: Thank you...Berkeley.
Never Let You Go (tease - Iha teases first chords/lyrics w/Jimmy accompanying)
Iha: Is that the middle eight?
Never Let You Go (tease - Iha teases first chords/lyrics)
Iha: I don't know any other words for that. That's a nice song though. Any other songs?
Fade to Black (tease - Billy plays main riff)
BC: Fade to Black by Metallica.
Iha: Ah, yeah.
Fade to Black (tease - Billy plays a bit more)
Iha: How about that, (singing San Francisco) If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear flowers in your hair.
BC: (singing) If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to bring a machine gun, okay? (speaking) That's the fourth verse, it's on the single edit you don't hear the fourth verse. (singing) The earthquakes will get you in San Francisco.
Iha: (singing) Natural disasters are in the air. If you're going to tear a piece of my heart out.... What's that other Tony Bennett song?
BC: I left my heart in San Francisco.
Iha: (singing) I left my heart in San Francisco. (speaking) Oh wait, the streets of San Francisco with the....
BC: I don't think it's officially a San Francisco song but that Judy Garland trolley song.
Iha: How does that one go?
Corgan: (singing) Clang, clang, clang went the trolley.
Iha: (purposely singing wrong words) Trang, trang, trang clanked the cly. Let's.... (stops singing) Alright, we've been touring much too long, I apologize, we’ve lost our minds.
Never Let You Go (tease - guitar chords again)
(Iha: Woo, come on, San Francisco... I never let you down...)
Iha: I’m sorry.
Spiteface (tease - once through riff)
Iha: Oh yeah. Now this one goes back, a while back. And it comes from a popular movie of the time. A soundtrack in the heyday of...
BC: Cruising, with Al Pacino?
Iha: Oh, that is a fucked up movie. That's a good movie though.
Drown
(BC modified last verse lyrics: ...I wish you goodbye. Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye...)
> Hummer (tease)
