Rock On
The Everlasting Gaze
Pug
Glass and the Ghost Children
Corgan: Good evening. I'd like to introduce to you the man to my left, your right, yes, his name, Mr. James Iha.
Blew Away
Stand Inside Your Love
Corgan: Thank you very much, thank you. How is everybody doing tonight? I've never been to this place before, Berkeley. Isn't this the place responsible for hippies? That's what I heard.
Iha: The scene responsible for all counter-culture.
Corgan: Yes. Well I know my favourite writer in the world, Philip K. Dick, used to live here, so I know it's a good place. Does anyone know Philip K. Dick? OK, good. That was his name, I swear. This next song, it's from the archives. I believe when I wrote this song, I had a pulse. Iha: Now, it's just flat, flat-lining.
Corgan: That's right, flat, flat for the new millenium. We hope you like this song, this is Tonight, Tonight
Tonight, Tonight
I of the Mourning
Corgan's Machina/God recording over PA
To Sheila
Corgan: Thank you. This next song that I'd like to play for you, I'm pretty sure was the last song I wrote for the new album, which is coming in, I think, three weeks. And it's called Machina: the Machines of God. And I think it's coming out in three weeks, yeah. And this is one of those funny songs where you just pick up the guitar one day and it just sort of comes out. What makes it even stranger is I wrote this song in the afternoon and then called Jimmy and said can you come out to record the drums and then he showed up and we played the song...maybe about twice, and hit record and two times later, we recorded the drum take, so... yeah, he's very good at that. So, it's a song even though I wrote it, I feel like I'm covering someone else's song because it just all happened so fast. So, it's a pretty good song, written by this guy. You may have heard of him, he's this guy in the Smashing Pumpkins
This Time
Disarm
Corgan: Thank you. We'd like to introduce the band to you, because once the drugs kick in, we cannot remember our names. On lead guitar, the Eel.
Iha: Thank you.
Corgan: On lead guitar, the Silver Fox. On lead drums, Manchichi the Marsupial.
Iha: On lead vocals and guitar, the Crafty Zygote.
Try, Try, Try
Today
Fuck You
Blue Skies Bring Tears
Heavy Metal Machine
Bullet with Butterfly Wings
Once in a Lifetime
Intermission...
Iha: Thank you, Berkeley. Iha teases first chords/lyrics of Never Let You Go... Is that the middle (unintelligible)? I don't know any other words, that's a nice song though. Any other songs?
Corgan teases riffs of Fade to Black: Fade to Black by Metallica
Iha: Ah, yea.
[Corgan teases Fade to Black a bit more]
Iha: How about that, [singing San Francisco] If you're going, to San Francisco, be sure to wear flowers in your hair. [Corgan chimes in] If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to bring a machine gun. OK? That's on the fourth verse, it's on the single edit that you don't hear the fourth verse. The earthquakes will get you, in San Francisco.
Iha: Natural disasters are in the air. If you're going to tear a piece of my heart out... What's that other Tony Bennett song?
Corgan: I left my heart in San Francisco.
Iha: I left my heart in San Francisco. Oh wait, the streets of San Francisco, with the...
Corgan: I don't think it's officially a San Francisco song, but that Judy Garland trolley song.
Iha: How does that one go?
Corgan [starts singing The Trolley Song]: Clang, clang, clang, went the trolley.
Iha [purposely garbling words]: Trang, trang, trang, went the Trolley. Let's...[stops singing] Alright, we've been touring much too long, and I apologize, I've lost my mind.
[Starts teasing guitar chords of Never Let You Go]
Iha: Woo, come on, San Francisco...[Long pause, can't think of anything else to say] I'm sorry.
[Teases Spiteface] Iha: Oh yea... now this one goes back, a while back. And it comes from a popular movie of the time, the soundtrack, in the heyday of...
Corgan: Crusing, with Al Pacino?
Iha: Oh, that's a fucked-up movie. That's a good movie though.
Drown with modified last verse lyrics "...I wish you goodbye. Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye..." followed by Hummer tease
