Tonight, Tonight
Corgan: Hi. Thanks for having us back here in your city.
Iha: City of, city of steel. We understand, we're from the city of big shoulders, we respect the city of steel.
Corgan: Thanks very much for coming to our concert this evening. It's nice to see all of you.
Iha: What are you trying to play there?
Corgan: What now?
Iha: What are you trying to play there, what are you trying to play?
Corgan: This is a little riff I wrote in my bedroom one day, I was just sitting around...
Iha: Yes, yes.
Corgan: I was having a cup of cappucino.
Iha: You were talking with Dylan that day, weren't you.
Corgan: Yeah I talked to Dylan, and this little riff just came to me.
Today
Thru the Eyes of Ruby
Corgan: Thank you. Now that we're an oldies band, we'd like to play you some oldies. That girl was at our first show, hi, how are you doing?
Iha: And by the way, some people are getting crushed up in the front, so move back a little bit.
Corgan: Yeah, as you people all can up here see, all these fuckers are crushed into like half the thing, so...
Iha: Try to be groovy, just love your sister and your brother.
Corgan: I'll tell you what, you all take a step back and we'll all go a step forward, that way we'll just all kinda...physics! Anyway, hope you're having a good time. I've had a lot of shit thrown at me, this is a new one, a hefty bag, I like this concept. I'm not really sure what this means, but I'm sure it's deep. This is a very complicated song, James are you ready?
Disarm
Bullet with Butterfly Wings
Fuck You
Porcelina of the Vast Oceans
Corgan: Thanks a lot. Yeah, it's been a pleasure to psychedelically jam for you this evening. In our set we like to visit all of the nine planets, including that tenth one they just found. This is one of our favorite songs, and I'd like to dedicate this to you for being so fucking cool. You're our favorite kind of people, we love you, thank you. You know we used to be negative, but now we're positive!
Iha: Positively digusting.
Corgan: No I don't mean -- You're right, we positively hate everything.
Iha: We're sure of it.
Corgan: Are you ready?
Iha: Ready to rock and roll!
Corgan: Do they even use that word anymore?
Iha: What?
Corgan: Rock and roll...you can tell we're from the eighties.
Muzzle
[encore break]
Corgan: Who's that?
Iha: I don't know what that was.
Corgan: That guy, he obviously didn't know the rule that if you get up on our stage, we'll kick your ass.
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida tease
Corgan: However, however, he will be getting a massage by a four hundred pound man, so...look, this guy's got a sign, 'play something old'
Iha: We are old, we're old already. What else do you want us to do?
Corgan: Check it out, we put out our -- ok wait, it's 1996, we put out our first record in 1991...
Iha: We haven't played anything old, though.
Corgan: Yeah but it's only five years.
Iha: Alright, well uh, let's go back to the sixties then.
Corgan: Just for you, just so you don't go on the fucking internet and tell everyone what a fucking asshole I am, we will play you a medley of old hits...ready?
Bury Me tease
Tristessa tease

Siva tease
Iha: alright, thank you, thank you. That was about seven really old songs in about a minute and a half.
Corgan: Now actually we were working on Siva, and Matt hasn't totally learned it yet, but I think with a little encouragement...
Iha: Everybody, come on Matt! Come on Matt! Say Matt! Matt Walker on the drums.
Corgan: We'll even go back to the old school, hindu-esque intro.
Siva
Corgan: Thank you. That was from that old album.
Iha: That's from our first rock and roll album, and uh, I know many of you don't own it, but it's a good one. Full of songs and stories and love and well, sadness. It all comes back to love, we're very sad, we're very sad to be here.
