I Am One
Iha: This is the first [unintelligible] sell out tour and we're really slow so.. just keep moshing about and rockin' out there while we tune. I don't know if, you probably can't understand a word of what I'm saying but I was talking about the grand recluse spider

No, I don't need change, thank you
Iha: Alright
Corgan: Hey by the way, somebody threw their keys on stage so I hope you can get home without your car. No I don't want your shoes, it's obvious you have something wrong with your feet... I know shut up and play, we always get that. But it's such a beautiful night I'm in no fucking hurry
