1 - We're gonna have a lotta fun

Quiet
Today
Disarm
[Jimmy plays the Hummer drum intro]
Corgan: It was an accident, I'm sorry
I Am One

Corgan (mid song rant): All I ever wanted was everything
All I wanted was everything
Nothing in this world can be taken from me that has not already been taken, yeah
Nothing in this world can be taken from me that has not already been taken, yeah
What you want is what you'll get, what you want is what you'll get
What you want isn't what you'll get, what you want is what you'll get
And there's nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing nothing, nothing, ohhhh!

Corgan: Thank you
Rocket
Corgan: What? huh, what? I'd play 'Drown' but nobody knows it in England. Who's ever heard our song 'Drown'?
[slight cheers]
That's only like one eighth of the people. People boo when we play 'Drown' in England. Just kidding, but... Hey, I'm in no hurry, there's like plenty of time, got lots of songs
Rhinoceros
Hummer
Soma
Siva
Cherub Rock
Corgan: Thanks
[encore break]
Iha: Thank you, thank you, thank you very much. We're so glad to be here, erm, I love the town, it's amazing, and I like the lights, the red and the green ones, and here's another song
Corgan [now wearing a clown's costume]: I figured I act like one so I might as well dress like one
Spaceboy
(unknown instrumental)
Silverfuck

Corgan [mid song]: I refuse to be your whore, I don't play that game no more, no more
No longer will I be a whore just for the sake of rock n roll, it ain't worth it, damn straight
It's OK, I'll fuck you later, don't worry... my wife doesn't mind if I fuck men
[crowd screams]
Corgan: What? WHAT?... Ah, shut up, I'm driving this starship. Hey it's a beautiful night, calm down. I'm in love, how about you? I've sold out, how about you? Join the corporate rock team, keep with the program, it's 1993.
Cut the American bullshit?
