Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (on PA)
Where Boys Fear to Tread
Zero
Fuck You
Corgan: Good evening. Thank you very much.
By Starlight
Tonight, Tonight
Iha: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, good evening. How are you? We're glad you can all rock out with us tonight. We'd just like to invoke some safety tonight, please don't crush the people in the front and don't step on anybody... because today is a heck of a day.
Corgan: Yes. Now we only have one, one, one thing to ask you. That is, please do not throw objects at the stage. If you throw objects at the stage, we will not play. If you want to be the one who stops the concert because you must throw your shoe at me, then let everyone around you hate you.
Iha: Because today could be such a nice day.
Corgan: Yeah. And the guy in the back pointing the gun at the side of my head, go fuck yourself cause I'm sick of that shit. Do not make me come out there and kill you myself.
Iha: We have resorted to these tactics.
Corgan: That's it, enjoy the show. Do not throw objects at the Smashing Pumpkins! Or you may find we aren't so smashing.
Today

Disarm (acoustic)
Bullet with Butterfly Wings
Corgan: Thank you very much to your response to our hit song.
Iha yells (jokingly) with crowd then says: So what do you guys want to hear? Do you want to hear Bush, No Doubt or something? We aim to please. What do you want to hear? Rock and roll.
Corgan: Hasn't anyone told you (smirking), that rock and roll is dead?
Iha: Oh my God! You heard it here on this stage first, rock and roll is dead.
Corgan: We're very happy to have help killed it. Now that the ship is about to go under, we're about to jump over like some African rats. Find another ship.
Iha: Yes. We're going to another land after this tour. We're going to the other side of the moon--where they found that water.
Corgan: Thank you for your support. Just remember, the boos sound just like cheers to us.
Crowd boos, to which Corgan responds: Ah, come on, have a sense of humour.
Corgan can't stop laughing as the band breaks into...

Iha: I'm sorry, I just lost my mind for a second. How is everybody? Are you still with us? Southern California, are you still with us? Yes? Rocking!
Corgan: James, we're not in Southern California
Iha: Oh! Detroit, put your... Alright, Nevada!
Corgan: Most people don't know this, but he is a robot. He's not a real human being. Hence his mistake, it's a programming error. It's not a...you can't hold him accountable for everything.
Iha: Yea.
Corgan: That's why he smells so bad, cause you can't even put him in the shower.
Iha: Yea. I'm sorry.
Corgan: As you can tell, at night, the batteries are low.
Iha: I can only offer up a cliche apology.
Corgan: Please do.
Iha: How about this, how about I rock you on this next song as an apology
