[Drum machine plays wrong beat]
Corgan: See what you get for not having a drummer? Sin number one
Bleed
There it Goes
Iha: Thanks
Corgan: Ummmm....I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for coming out and I know some have waited and some don't care but thanks is all the same...now we have to change the bass. Oh, oh, Paul, oh, Pa...just a little bit more drums, oh thank you, I can't hear shit. This is one of those crowd favorites, this is called My Eternity.
My Eternity
Iha: Thank you
I Fall
Corgan: The reason we aren't playing with a drummer, is because we had a drummer and he fucked everything up, so why fuck everything up if you know what I mean. I mean I don't like playing with the drum machine anymore than you like hearing it, but I don't have a drummer so I'll play here. You know we don't fucking just like make this shit up out of air. It takes a lot of time and you know, I would like to be here with a drummer and everything it'd be kosher. This my friends is a song for you.
Nothing and Everything
Iha: Thanks
Person in Audience: I can't hear you!
Corgan: You can't hear what? Sing?
Person in Audience: You!
Corgan: Me singing? This song is a step forwards, a step backwards all at the same time. I think we all know about that in our little lives including me.
6234
Iha: Thanks Avalon
Corgan: This falls in the hit song category.
Holiday
Corgan: Thank you, thank you, your very kind. This will be our last number. I'd like to thank the Avalon Night Club, Paul an excellent mixing man, he deserves many applause, heh and your mic isn't on.
Wretzky: I wanna thank everybody who came out tonight, all my friends and my sister.
Iha: And I would like to thank Vince and McDermit if hes out there.
Corgan: And I would...*feedback*...woah...And I would like to thank the lord Jesus Christ. Thanks right you don't sing the...Ok that's alright...You know what I am saying though, did anyone? This song is called Screaming.... like a mother. Make it loud? Jesus.
Screaming
Corgan: Sayonara.
Announcer: Let's hear it one more time for the Smashing Pumpkins!
