Where Boys Fear to Tread
Zero
 Corgan: Thank you.
Fuck You
 Corgan: Hello. Hello!
Wretzky: There's people in it!
Corgan: We are the Smashing Pumpkins, we're very happy to be back in Australia.
Today
 Corgan: Thank you, thank you, thank you thank you.
To Forgive
Bullet with Butterfly Wings
 Corgan: Hello. Thank you so much for coming. We'd like to play another 15 songs from our new album. They're all in the form of a medley, we like to call this the Star Wars Iha trilogy.
Iha: Yes! And please, no shoe-throwing.
Thru the Eyes of Ruby
Porcelina of the Vast Oceans
 Iha: Thank you. Yeah, this is a very fast song. So fast...
Corgan: It's a slow song!
Iha: It's slow...
Corgan: It's what we call Iha speed!
Iha: This is Iha speed, we hope you like it.
Bodies
 Corgan: Thank you. We don't play that song very much, so I forgot a bunch of the words, I'm sorry. And if I forget some of the words to this one, please forgive me. What a surprise that we have technical difficulties. Well...I'll just have you play the song, with a guitar. Fuck if I know. It's the old (unintelligible) problem.
Disarm
 Iha: Alright.
Corgan: You kids are out of sight man, you know what I'm saying?
Iha: I know that we've been sad for a while, but now it's time to really rock.
Geek U.S.A.
Cherub Rock
[encore break]
Iha: Ladies and gentlemen, on the drums, Timmy Doyle! The reason you cannot see his face...
Wretzky: Boy, you guys will cheer for anything, won't you?
Iha: No no no, the reason you cannot see this man's face is because he has been horribly scarred. This man is Iron Man!
Corgan: Why don't you introduce the acoustic guitarist?
Iha: And on the...OK, acoustic guitar, Jimmy Chamberlin from Joliet Illinois!
Corgan: And on keyboards!
Iha: On keyboards!
Corgan: Jonathan Melvoin!
Iha: Livingston! Jonathan wriggle-touch Melvoin. On the motherfucking bass guitar, D'arcy Wretzky-Brown. Bass solo! Come on!
Corgan: Bass solo, bass solo.
Wretzky: It's called the tuning song.
Corgan: Well let everyone hear you tune, we've had to listen to it for years, let everyone else in on the game.
Iha: On the vocals, lead singer Billy Corgan! And my name is John Major, your oppressor.
Corgan: Are we ready yet? Are we ready? OK, we're gonna start the song now. Hit it Johnny!
1979
 Corgan: Boy I hate that guitar, I don't know why I play it.
Iha: Alright, let's get down to the nitty-gritty here. Let's get on to the full rock sound, what that is, I don't know.
Corgan: Like to thank the opening act, Def FX, for a spirited techno-induced set of trance-inducing music. Those kids take way too many drugs. I hope they're not symbolic of all of Australia. Alright, time for some kick-ass death cyber fucking metal.
X.Y.U.
[encore break]
Iha: Yes, thank you. What? Hey Mike, hey Mike...
Corgan: Thank you very much. We're trying to limit the number of stupid things that we normally would say on stage, so all we can say over and over is thank you, thank you for coming, we appreciate it very much.
Iha: And you've been rocking, the people have been rocking.
Corgan: We'd like to play an oldie, this goes back to about 1993.
Mayonaise
Corgan: God bless you, thank you.
[encore break]
Iha: Thank you again, thanks. You guys are very good, and it's super-cool. Now...now...(unintelligible)...even more monitors.
Corgan: Whoa. Um, Lawrence, you can put the video back on, just don't...yeah. We just wanna say hi to everyone personally. You guys totally rule, thank you.
Wretzky: To those of you in the back rows, we hope you've enjoyed our flight, and enjoyed the audio/video portion of our program.
Corgan: We will be landing soon. We'd like to do a couple more songs, just a few more, each song lasts approximately thirty minutes each, and this one begins with our friend Jimmy from Joliet.
Tonight, Tonight
Silverfuck / Drown
Farewell and Goodnight
Corgan: Goodnight, god bless you, thank you.
Wretzky: Thanks.
Corgan: Be careful goin home.
Iha: Good night, thanks everybody.
