Iha: Yeaaah.

BC: Ah, it's an oldie but a goldie.
Lily (acoustic)
Take Me Down (acoustic)
(BC over intro: Now we’re gonna take a little trip down Sad Lane. Just sit back.
D’arcy: That’s - that’s where James lives.
BC: Hahahaha.
D’arcy: No, it’s true.
BC: 144 Sad Lane.)
Beautiful
(Iha immediately after Billy starts song: [unintelligible but possibly “Now take your place in the audience.”])
BC: (high pitched) Thank you. (exaggerated Italian accent) Could you get a-rid of these acoustic guitars too, please? Please get rid of these acoustic guitars. (normal) So uh, thanks for your patience, you know, we’re having a fun time playing these songs. 'Cause we never get to play 'em, if you know what I'm sayin’. Not to the rock masses, that's for certain.
Rocket

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness Intro
> Where Boys Fear to Tread

Fuck You
To Forgive
Iha: Ah, yeah.
BC: Hi, we're the Smashing Pumpkins. Thank you for having us. We'd like to comment, this is a pretty cool place as opposed to the place it used to be.
Iha: Heh heh.
BC: I don't know...
Iha: Well....
BC: ...where do you go beyond sincerity, you don't really....
Iha: What else can we talk about but the nation's capital? America! Heh heh.
BC: Is tonight the night you're gonna announce?
Iha: I admit, in a past life I was running down the old 9:30 street and I had - I had shot Abraham Linc - Lincolns.
BC: Heh, Lipkin?
Iha: Lincoln.
BC: You shot Abraham Lipkin?
Iha: Lincoln and now I have a speech impediment because of it.
Jellybelly
BC: Thank you. That was Jellybelly.
Porcelina of the Vast Oceans
BC: (weird voice) Thank you. (normal) Heh, (fast) Mister James Iha!
Creep (tease)
BC: (singing) We’re half the band we used to be, half the band we used to be.
Iha: (singing) But I still play mean guitar. (doodles a blues riff for a second)
BC: No, it’s like, (singing) half the band we used to - but I still play a mean guitar. (Iha doodles for a second) (speaking) There you go.
Bullet with Butterfly Wings

BC: Thanks.
D’arcy: Goodnight.
BC: Wait wait wait wait wait wait. Wanna hear any more songs? We're - we’re not tired so if you wanna hear us play more, we’ll play more. (crowd cheers) What haven’t we played? Shiva? No, we don’t play I Am One anymore. What else you wanna hear? James, do we go back to the Gish album for an oldie? We gotta go there, Jimmy.
Iha: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
BC: We were kicking this out in fuckin’ ‘90. Oh so long ago.
Siva
BC: I'd like to do one more song, then we'll go away.
