Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (on PA)
Tonight, Tonight
Cherub Rock
Where Boys Fear to Tread
Corgan: We'd like to take you back now, back to the era when we liked rock and roll. This is Rhinoceros.
Rhinoceros
Today
Zero
Fuck You
Porcelina of the Vast Oceans
Rocket
Iha: Alright, so
Corgan: So that was from our fourth album called Siamese Squid, came out in 1984.
Iha: There were no drums in that song, kind of a new thing, glad you liked it
We'd like to play you our latest single, this is Thirty-three
Thirty-three
'Circus' intro on PA
Bullet with Butterfly Wings
Iha: And now we will rock you
Corgan: I'm not so sure these people want to be rocked
Iha: Come on New Orleans, show me some bad flavour. I got a feeling.
Muzzle
Disarm
"Planet of the Apes" intro on PA
Thru the Eyes of Ruby
Intermission 1...
Corgan: Jimmy will now go into the audience and pick some people to dance
Iha: Pat, could you give us a beat. Oh yea, come on people. Go on, I am one, dance with me.
[Corgan teases Lovefool while Iha raps I Am One]
Iha: Come on you motherfuckers, let's go. That's a slow-jam. I'm asking you, don't break my heart. And now Jimmy [unintelligible] join us up front, the dancers are out of control. Yea, yeah, doing a little Aphex Twin there.
Corgan: The green angel, the green angel has chosen
Iha: The green angel has spoken, he has spoken the word of the other one.
1979
Iha: Ladies and gentlemen, that was quite shocking, I must admit. Alright, a bit of mardi-gras for a moment there. It would have been like the east village up here. Oh crock, let's rock tonight. Ladies and gentlemen a hand for Jimmy Frog here. When JImmy Frog shows emotions, it comes out in a flood, like a dam bursting.
[Smoke over Troubled Waters teased] with Iha: We all went down, we all went crazy. We all went to the doctor, yea. Alright, that just degenerated into something... we're going to try something new.
X.Y.U.
Intermission 2...
Drown with teasing of Hummer riffs at end
Siva with teases
Intermission 3...
I Only Play 4 Money Corgan: Well if that doesn't make rock's greatest moments, that's 101, 101
Iha: Ladies and gentlemen, the Frogs, the Frogs. Look for that song on their Scratchie Records release this spring
Corgan: We'd now like to play one more song and that's the end, thanks again, there will be no more talking. This is the end. It's about to get very psychedelic, watch your ears
Iha: Put on your space helmets
Corgan: This one's for all you burn-outs out there
Silverfuck with Spacejam
Iha: Thanks a lot
