Blank Page
Corgan: Thank you all very much, thank you. Hope everyone's havin' a good time. So uh, mostly we're playing songs from our new album "Adore" tonight, but this next songs and old song, because our old songs are better than our new songs, as we've found out. But, when we played Mellon Collie songs after Siamese Dream people like the Siamese ones better. So, we appreciate you being here tonight for this special charity concert. Yes, the money is going to charity, even if we have to swindle it out of your pockets. But uh...we appreciate you comin' tonight, so...thanks.
Tonight Tonight
Corgan (cuts in):...it was about two years ago, a little over two years ago, that we played our last concert as the original smashing pumpkins, as a four piece, in Washington DC. And uh, you know the past two years haven't been very easy on us, its been a weird two years, but we'd like to thank you for being there with us and sticking with us over these last two years. So I'd like to play a song for you that I don't...I don't think--the last time I played I think uh, maybe it was about a year ago, and maybe six months before that, I've only played it a couple times live, its a song called "Blissed and Gone", it was a song that we were gonna put on this album but we didn't, so I hope you like it.
Blissed And Gone
Bullet With Butterfly Wings
Shame
Corgan: Love is good all the time, just ask Monica and Bill.
For Martha
Corgan: God bless you, thank you.
(encore break)
Iha: Gracias, thank you very much. You guys have been rockin'. At this time, we'd like to show you where your money went tonight. Uh, this is a show for the city lights school, and uh, we went there today, its a, its a really cool place, and uh, we'd just like to bring a few of the people out on stage.
City Lights Guy: On behalf of the City Light School, students, staff, and board of directors, we'd really like to thank the Smashing Pumpkins for their (unintelligible)...we'd like to thank everybody...(City Lights people are not miced, this portion was impossible to transcribe)
Iha: Yeah!! Owwwww!
Corgan: I'm really against your artificial encouraging of the crowd to make more noise, because obviously we're not good enough for them to make enough noise, so for you to encourage them is an insult to us, really.
Iha: Right...goodnight! Alright!
1979
Corgan: Ok, thats it, thats the end of the concert, thank you.
