Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (over PA)
Where Boys Fear to Tread
Zero
Corgan: [screams]
Fuck You
Corgan: Hi! We're the Smashing Pumpkins. Thanks for coming to the concert. Don't throw shit onstage like stupid assholes, please. Let's have a good concert, be peaceful, love thy fucking neighbor! Hey you, you fucking dickhead! You! I mean, you can hide behind another dude, but I can see you, so.....don't throw shit. Don't be stupid.
To Forgive
Today
Corgan: That was one of our old songs, in case you didn't know.
Iha: Yes! It...
Corgan: This is one of our new songs.
Bullet with Butterfly Wings
Porcelina of the Vast Oceans
Thru the Eyes of Ruby
By Starlight
Wretzky: Is everybody in the front row okay? Getting squished? Yeah, I'm sorry we don't have a big hose of water to spray on you.
Corgan: Yeah, that reminds me, about two years ago we...the Bulls were playing in the semi-finals, in 1994, and we came to the base here in Frankfurt to watch the game with some American servicepeoples...so, I'm sure none of those people are here, but....you were there?....well thank you, that was a good time, we appreciate it. Even though the Bulls lost, we don't blame it on you, but...
Disarm
Geek U.S.A.
Cherub Rock
Corgan: Thanks.

Encore One:
Iha: Thank you. It takes us a while to get back on stage, cause we're so...it's freezing backstage! I'm...I'm just kidding. Alright, it's fucking hot. It's hot under these lights, goddammit. I'm jumping around like a fucking idiot! I'm hotter, hotter than hell!
Wretzky: Hey, you're not jumping around like an idiot, you're not jumping around at all!
Corgan: You're on the highway to hell?
Iha: Yes, but...I dunno.
Wretzky: Anyway, back on your mark.
Corgan: Hey, thanks. He'll treasure that, and wipe his ass with it.
Iha: Thanks.
1979
Corgan: We like to give a little space, during every concert, to let the people who want to say offensive things say them, so this is that moment, for all of you that waited. To the rest of you, thank you very much for coming to the concert tonight, we really appreciate it. Thank you very much. Nothing like an American voice, in a foreign land, to hurt my little eardrums.
X.Y.U.

Encore Two:
Corgan: Now...let's all share. Okay god, you can turn down the sun.
Mayonaise
Corgan: Thanks, god bless you, goodnight.

Encore Three:
Corgan: Thank you very much, thank you very much, thank you very much, thank you very much, thank you very much, thank you very much, I really thank you, thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you, thank you. Thank you very fucking much man! You know, I come from New Orleans, and down there.... We would like to thank our opening band Filter, for a fine set of rock inspired material, with slight electronic leads. Thank you very much to Filter.
Corgan: Like to play you one of our favorite songs now, that's why we put it at the end. It's about growing up in Germany, and um...my parents made me wear lederhosen, it was very embarrassing, and um, it's kinda what this was about. I'm sure you can't understand a damn word I'm saying.
Wretzky: We dedicate this song to all the German Shepherds in the audience.
Corgan: We just...aw, she's teasing...we just want you to know, we love you, wherever you're from, we don't give a fuck where you're from, we love you just the same. Every time we come to Frankfurt and I talk to the Americans in the audience, I can't shut up cause we're from America, but we love you from Germany too, we love you wherever you're from. Don't forget that.
