Atum Intro
The Everlasting Gaze
> Doomsday Clock
Zoo Station
Iha: Hoo hoo hoo, it’s a hot one. Thank you guys so much, how are you guys doin’? I like it here. You know, I went out in that lake, I caught a small mouth bass. I caught it with my own goddamn hands, I caught that fish myself. “Go free, brother,” and I let him free, this is called Today.
Today
Thru the Eyes of Ruby
Iha: Thank you. We’re just making it up as we go. How are you guys doin’? Billy’s flapping like a bird. Uhhh, I -- there’s a, there’s a complex set of symbols here. Alright, we’re gonna start another song...here we go.
Spellbinding

Springtimes
BC: Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. We so appreciate you being with us on this beautiful evening. James, do you know where you’ll be tomorrow?
Iha: Hell if I know. Uh...the Rogers night.
BC: And what baseball team plays in the Rogers Dome?
Iha: Well, the Toronto Blue Jays.
BC: Now, James, I know you’re a big fan of the Blue Jays. Go on, tell ‘em your favorite team.
Iha: I like baseball, [unintelligible]. The game of potentials.
BC: Anyway, heh...this young man over here and I started this band in about 1987 or so.
Iha: Oh my god.
BC: You know, back then, Toronto didn’t even have a baseball team.
Iha: Heh heh heh. That’s long...so long ago.
BC: The Expos, they had a team, but...not too long.
Iha: Nah.
BC: Heh heh! I’m just joshing, uh...so way back in 1992.... James brought this beautiful song to the band and we’d like to play it for you now, it’s from the album Siamese Dream.

Iha: Oh Canada. Oh Canada. It’s a very nice place here, oh Canada. But it’s so hot. And filled with mosquitoes. Heh heh heh. I just made that up.
Hotel California (tease - Billy strumming chords, eventually moving into playing the melody while Iha talks)
Iha: What do you guys wanna hear? How ‘bout a rock song? Oh Canada. A beautific country. So many people, very nice people. (starts to say something, but trails off laughing) Come on, Canada. We’re with you right now, we’ll always be right there. Goddammit Canada. [unintelligible], thank you so much, it’s great to be here. ... What is that song? (Iha walks over to Billy for a moment) I don’t know how much it has to do with Canada, but...[unintelligible]. Dark side of California. (Billy stops playing guitar)
BC: (singing) On a dark desert highway....
Iha: (singing) On a dark desert highway, we got the Mercedes Benz.
Siva (tease - Billy plays the riff and Iha responds)
Iha: Heh heh, we’ll play that one, we don’t give a shit, what do you guys wanna hear? Heh heh heh. We gotta do that setlist. [unintelligible]--
BC: James, you ready?
Iha: Yes, I’m ready, alright.

Gossamer / The Spaniards
Iha: Alright alright. How you guys doin’? We got about 70 more minutes of music left. So uh...I’d like to introduce the band real quickly. Latest member of the Smashing Pumpkins, on the guitar, all the way from Texas and California, Miss Kiki Wong there!
Master of Puppets (tease - Kiki)
Iha: Whoo.
Enter Sandman (tease - Billy)
Iha: Nice, nice. On vocals and acoustic guitar, all the way from Down Under, Australia, Miss Katie Cole, everyone, Katie Cole. You know him, you love him, he’s on the bass guitar, he’s all the way across the pond from Manchester, England, Mr. Jack Bates. Jack Bates. What’d you think of that lake today, Jack? It was a primo lake, according to Jack. And now, the heartbeat of the band, Mr. Rock Steady, Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin! Beatin’ the shit out of his drums, he’s probably hot as hell right now. Even hotter, on lead vocals, lead hot guitar, Mr. Billyyyyy Corgan. Thank you guys so much. I’m James Iha and this is called Cherub Rock.

Iha: [unintelligible]. Guys, what I really wanna know...are you gonna go my way?!!
> American Woman (tease - Billy goes back into the guitar part)
Iha: (singing) American woman, get away from me. (speaking over the audience singing along) Come on, you motherfuckers! (singing) ...let me be. (Billy stops while the audience sings “Don’t come a-knockin’ around my door”)
BC: Don’t come a-knockin’ around my door!
Iha: (singing) Dog a-walkin’...! (speaking) I mean, it’s a great song, I just don’t know it, you’re putting me on the spot, I don’t know the words.
Zero
