Pug
BC: Good evening, good evening, thank you very much. Thank you very much for coming tonight.
Iha: Thank you.
BC: Like to (trips over his words and makes noises for a moment). I’d like to introduce a friend of mine to you. He’s originally from San Diego, where he won the World Surfing Championship in 1992, Mr. James Iha.
Blew Away
Stand Inside Your Love
Glass and the Ghost Children
BC: Thank you.
Tonight, Tonight
I of the Mourning
Le Deux Machina (tape)
To Sheila (Billy acoustic w/Iha)
BC: Thank you. You know, when I was, uh....can you hear me?
Iha: Yes.
BC: I’m not very good with talking anymore so...excuse me. Um, when I was a little boy, you know I used to go out in the backyard and stare up at the stars and imagine that it was all these people out there, you know, and it’s sort of the same feeling playing for you, it’s like you’re out there and it’s up there. But then again at the age of 14 if I’d imagined about 4,000 people in my backyard listening to me sing, it would have terrified me and I probably wouldn’t have started playing guitar so sort of counterintuitive if you think about it. I’d like to play, uh - this, wait, you want to marry me? Wait, what’s this sign? No no no no, no no, you do not want to marry me, trust me. The sensitive songwriter part only comes out in the band. But this is to the girl who wants to marry me. And in fact, some of this song has to do with somebody that I was married to back in the old days. ‘Course she’s in jail now and um.... She’s serving 20 years for grievous misuse of my love.
Muzzle (Billy solo acoustic)
BC: Thank you. Like to take this moment, seeing as we’re at the halfway point at the concert, to introduce you to the members of the band that are on stage. On lead guitar, Jake “The Snake” Iha. On the lead bass, Tammy “She’ll Go Far” Auf der Maur. And on lead acoustic and lead drums, Fred “What Was Your Name Again?” Chamberlin!
Iha: And ladies and gentlemen, on lead vocals, Barry “The Wombat” Corgan.
1979 (acoustic, Jimmy plays guitar)
Ava Adore (acoustic)

[encore break]

Mayonaise
Iha: Thank you.
BC: Thank you.
[encore break]
With Every Light (acoustic)
BC: Thank you, thank you. Before we play our last song...yes, it’s the last song, I’m sure. I used to lie and say it was the last song but I really didn’t mean it but I mean it now.
Iha: Don’t say that!
BC: It’s the last song, James.
Iha: Oh, say it ain’t so, Billy.
BC: But before we play our last song tonight....
Iha: No! Don’t say it. Don’t say those words!
BC: If I really....
Iha: Noooooo! No, no.
BC: Alright.
Iha: Noooooo!
BC: Before we play what is possibly our last song...I’d like to say, I’d like to shout to all the people living down here in the San Diego area.
Iha: Word, word, word.
BC: Ever since the first time we played down here in, I think it was 1991, we’ve always had great shows and great support, so we thank you and say love you, thank you so much. Now we’ve got to hurry because we have an expensive jet waiting and we have to go back to our rich, expensive homes. James has a meeting with Donald Trump in the morning and he absolutely has to get some sleep.
Iha: (British accent) I’m actually going to Morocco tomorrow, don’t you forget? I’ve got to meet the shah there. And for cry - for fuck’s sake, don’t say it’s the fucking last song.
BC: I can’t believe you’re still working this angle.
Iha: (normal voice) Noooo!
BC: Anyway, so thanks everybody, thanks for a great night.
Drown
[bow]
BC: God bless, thank you, god bless.
