Tonight, Tonight
Cherub Rock
Where Boys Fear to Tread
Corgan: Hello. Thanks for coming, nice to see you. This is one of them old songs.
Rhinoceros
Corgan: Thank you. That's James, that's D'arcy, that's Matt, Dennis, you wanna come say hi?
Iha: (unintelligible)
Corgan: That's Dennis...that's ok, you can come over here. I'm Fred.
Iha: Um...later on Dennis will speak to you. He has many surprises.
Zero
Fuck You
Porcelina of the Vast Oceans / Rocket (tease)
Corgan: Thanks a lot.
Norwegian Wood (tease)
Corgan: How is everyone? As you know we've gotten progressively wimpier as we've gotten older. And this is our wimpy anthem, it's called Thirty-three.
Thirty-three
Iha: Seattle rock city, are you still with us? Alright. You're not wimped out now?
Barracuda (tease)
Iha: I hear Heart...you know any other...I don't know the words.
Corgan: I bet you don't know 'cause of that line, right?
Iha: Well, what's another Seattle favorite?
1979
Bullet with Butterfly Wings
Corgan: Thank you very much. James, would you like to tell a joke?
Iha: So, this grasshopper goes into a bar, says "I'd like to have a beer". The bartender says "don't you wanna have a drink that's named after you?" and he said "oh, you mean John?". Ladies and gentlemen, eight years of show business right down the toilet. Now this next song, I hope you're really gonna like, it's called Muzzle. That's alright.
Muzzle
Disarm
Thru the Eyes of Ruby
[encore break]
Iha: Thanks. Thanks a lot. Thanks a lot. You guys have been really good.
Corgan: Wait wait, I wanna say something first, check it out. Remember when they were gonna trade Shawn Kemp for Scottie Pippen?
Iha: Sportswriter...
Corgan: Well, I'm glad they didn't, but Shawn Kemp is still the bomb boy.
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida
Iha: Alright, alright. Let's get back to the rock and roll, we're glad you're all here, be safe. This next song is called X.Y.U.
X.Y.U.
[encore break]
Iha: Right, thanks a lot. We have a technical problem, as is our usual.
By Starlight
Corgan: Thank you very much, thank you very much. Just wanna thank you once again for coming to the concert, for being totally awesome, great, wonderful, all those kinds of things. Thank you for listening to our music, thank you for being you...you had to blow it, you had to fucking blow it, didn't you?
Siva
Iha: Thanks.
[encore break]
Iha: Thanks. Thanks again. We'll do two more rock opuses for you.
The Aeroplane Flies High
Silverfuck / Space Jam
