Banter

Wretzky: Good evening.
Iha: Thank you. Hi, how are you.
Tonight, Tonight
Wretzky: Thank you. We hope you enjoy the mellow part of the show tonight. It's a long show, so relax and save your energy for the more rockin'er parts.
Corgan: And I'd just like to say that Hollywood Cigarettes had nothing to do with this show.
In the Arms of Sleep
Corgan: After you, James.
Cupid de Locke
Corgan: Thank you very much. We're the Smashing Pumpkins and we're very happy to be here with you. Hello!
Iha: Hello. We hope it is no too echoey, echoey here.
Corgan: Echoey, echoey. It's very echoey in here. But for those of you on LSD, I'm sure it's a nice added touch. We know who you are so, you can stop smiling.
Thirty-three
Today
Corgan: Whoa. Thank you.
Soma
Take Me Down

Corgan: Or no, it's fight fire with fire.
Iha: Am I Evil? Yes I am.
Am I Evil tease
Iha: Am I Evil? Yes I am.
Enter Sandman tease
Iha: I think they'd rather hear Metallica songs.

Fuck You
Here Is No Why
Corgan: Thank you, thank you, thank you thank you. We'd like to thank our opening band for such a lovely set, the songs were slightly sophomoric but the melodies were good.
Iha: Yes, yes. They need to grow a bit, they need to grow up.
Corgan: I just wonder what they're saying backstage.
Iha: What's that? Play those parts?
Corgan: No, don't go there.
Iha: He's got a beard, I gotta.
To Forgive
Bullet with Butterfly Wings
Muzzle
Corgan: Thanks a lot, so much. Last time we were in San Francisco, it was Lollapalooza, and it was mighty fucking lame if I remember, so thanks for making our return back to San Francisco so welcome. We were kinda worried you didn't like us here anymore after that horrible Lollapalooza bullshit show, what was it? It was a carnival, yeah.
Iha: Yes, yes. There goes a rose, never to hit the stage, beautiful but dead. Now, just don't throw 'em back at us.
Corgan: Now you're gonna get one right between the eyes, you know.
Thru the Eyes of Ruby

[encore break]
Iha: Thank you very very much, now I'm in the house. You know at this time, now that I've got you all here, I'd like to tell you about. What? God, you know, every time I start this story, it's one of you people that fucking messes -- I can't!
Corgan: Alright, now get back on your side of the stage.
Iha: Thank you, Bill Jean, I just lost my mind for a minute. What? I'm not in the monitors anymore.
Corgan: You're not in the monitors anymore?
Iha: I'm out in the house, though.
Corgan: You're in the house, they can hear you.
Iha: I can't hear me.
Corgan: You can't hear you but they can hear you.
Iha: That's right, whoa, there I am, I'm back. I'd just like to thank Bill Jean, I just lost my mind for a minute.
1979
Corgan: Thank you. That was a song that we wrote for Michael Jackson, but he rejected it.
Wretzky: He couldn't moonwalk to it.You know you get the feeling, if he'd gone ahead and done that song they'd still be together.
Wretzky: I don't know, he could only do the robot to that song, he couldn't moonwalk.
Corgan: What do you think, can you deal with a little cyber metal or what? Show 'em the robot, give 'em a little taste of the robot. That's more like an animatron than a robot...huh? Tell a joke?
Iha: You think this is a fuckin' joke? Well it's not.
X.Y.U. / Paranoid tease
[encore break]
Iha: Thank you. Let's have a moment of contemplation and silence. Let's just think about things. And then let's rock.
Corgan: Have you looked at the setlist, I don't believe we're gonna be rocking.
Iha: Oh, I'm sorry, well, after that we'll rock, I'm sorry. Let's have a moment of just grooviness, this is San Francisco. Hey man, that's groovy!
Corgan: You always said the bay area was your favorite.
Iha: Yes, that's uh, true. I think I see a man with an afro, that's fuckin' cool.
Corgan: I believe we have a lighting director with an afro too, you can uh, stand up Laz, let everyone see you.
Iha: Laz, Laz Upton. And he's English, for god's sake.
Corgan: He's the man burning your retinas right through. Um, we'll stop talking now and we'll play.
