Banter

Wretzky: Hi. Good evening.
Iha: Hello. Let say really hello.
Corgan: Yeah, there's a breeze coming from somewhere, somebody.
Wretzky: Everybody breathe really hard, it's too cold.
Iha: A bit chilly.
Corgan: Good evening.
Tonight, Tonight (false start)
Corgan: Ah see, I screwed up already. I'll start over.
Tonight, Tonight
Wretzky: Hope you're digging us.
Corgan: Thanks. Very happy to be here again.
In the Arms of Sleep
Corgan: My head thanks you.
Cupid de Locke
Thirty-three
Corgan: Thank you.
Rocket
Corgan: Thanks.
Iha: Thank you.
Soma
Corgan: Thank you very much.
Take Me Down
Iha: We're gonna rock, just a little bit. But you gotta wait, we're gonna play another electric set though.
Corgan: Everyone thought we were gonna do the rock part first, that's why everyone's so confused.
Iha: Dance!
1979
Wretzky: Jimmy, I gotta say that was great, you sound just like, you sounded just like the tape. It was great!
Corgan: Like to say hello again to all the people that were at Wembley last night. Just for the sake of the people standing around you, try to pretend that you haven't heard these songs before. It'd help the show, really. I promise.
Beautiful
Corgan: It was interesting...
Wretzky: Yeah, I think it was really creative.
Iha: It was really interesting, that one was a bit cheeky, we gave you the cheeky version of Beautiful.
Wretzky: That was a really arty version.
Iha: That was the Scouse version of Beautiful, bit cheeky version of Beautiful.
Corgan: There were some fiddly bits in that one. OK, one more song and then we're gonna go bye bye, so you can then converse as much as you'd like. We don't wanna get in the way of your conversation.
Muzzle (false start)
Corgan: You messed up, you messed up didn't you!
Iha: I came in four bars interpretively early.
Wretzky: I didn't even know what song it was.
Corgan: And then the show completely fell apart, Corgan beared his soul once again like a maniac, it was the clown suit incident all over.
Iha: There they were like the Beatles and Harrington, blowing every chord change left and right. We're terribly sorry, tonight was a revelation, tonight was a revelation they're absolute crap.
Muzzle
[set break]
MCIS
Where Boys Fear to Tread
Zero
Fuck You
Wretzky: Everybody got up off the floor in the front here, and you're all ok? Don't make jokes about dying. No seriously, I saw a bunch of people go down in the front, is everybody off the floor? I mean really, look around you, make sure.

[encore break]
Iha: Thank you, thank you. You've been most kind. Now, I'd like to ask a question. Does this -- now watch -- does this mean anything to you? Just think for a moment where you've seen that image before. Hey, that's real shit. Just remember this, where have you seen this before? Just think.
Firestarter (tease)
Iha: I just lost my mind.
Corgan: Thank you fire starter. We're all fire starters, you know what I'm saying?
X.Y.U.
[encore two]
Iha: Now, when I lost my mind there for a minute, we were not mocking the fire starter, that was a tribute to the Prodigy, I just don't, I'm obsessed with the fire starter? What is the fire starter? Is it the everyman? Yes, you're pointing at me, I'm the everyman.
Corgan: James, james, james...
Iha: You're the everyman...I'm crazy, I'm the fire starter.
Corgan: James, let it go, let it go.
Iha: I will not say another word about fire starters.
Corgan: You know in a way it wasn't really that funny the first time, and it's not getting funnier, so...
Iha: OK wait, just one more time, let's do it! One, two, three, come on! Alright, Firestarter! Come on!
Corgan: Um, like to say to those people up there, hi. I can't see you, but uh...there you are, hi. That's it, that's all you get, just a little light, a flash. We'd like to thank you for being here and putting up with the eternal rock show. This is pretty much the last time we're gonna do this, we did this about twenty times, and uh, it's taxing on the band as well as the audience, so we thank you, we hope you enjoy it for what it is trying to do. Entertain without boring, enlighten without stunning.
Iha: Scally boys! That's what they are!
Corgan: Yeah. So thanks again, appreciate it. And seeing as this is our last UK concert for a while, like to thank you again for everything...it's great, I mean we really appreciate it, we thank you.
Mayonaise
[encore break]
Iha: Thank you. We'd now like to do something else we've never done before, we're gonna play our first two albums, in order.
Corgan: We hope you have time, it takes about two hours...
Jellybelly
Silverfuck
Farewell and Goodnight

Wretzky: Good night, thank you.
Corgan: Thank you.
Iha: Goodnight everybody, thanks for coming out, thanks for staying so long, that's all I've got to say, bye.
