Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (PA intro)
Tonight, Tonight
Zero
Fuck You
Here Is No Why
Corgan: Hello, hi. Thanks for coming to the rock concert. Okay, so, who was here last night? Ok, well, last night sounded really bad on stage, we were jetlagged, the show, it was good but it wasn't so great. Tonight is gonna be great. And, the people that were here last night were very quiet. We all thought they were quiet, we know that's not gonna be the case tonight, so thanks for coming, it's nice to see you.
To Forgive
Today
Geek U.S.A.
Corgan: I'd like to say hi to those people that are way over there. No not you, those people that are WAY over there. You, youse peoples over there. I don't know how you ended up over there, but hello anyway.
Thru the Eyes of Ruby / By Starlight
Corgan: I'd like to thank the girl that made this imitation of me. It comes complete with a hat. Jasmine, thank you Jasmine. Jasmine lives at two Kitchener Street in West Bruniswick in case you wanna visit her.
Wretzky: Except that it comes complete with no pants, and a tattoo of Jasmine on his leg.
Corgan: I actually wasn't gonna wear any pants, but...
Iha: What'd you say?
Corgan: I believe the prime minister would have a problem with it.

Iha: Thank you. You're a very awesome crowd.
1979
Beds Are Burning tease
Corgan: Can you put on the lights for a second please? Turn on the light, ok? Hows it going back there? (unintelligible)...in the nice seats, check em out. They're sittin down, havin' a couple brews, takin' it easy. Just wanna say hi to you over there, that's all. Hello, hello, hello. You know it's like, it's kinda dark up here, and sometimes all we can see is just this one guy up front, that guy. No, that guy. We know that guy.
Iha: This guy?
Corgan: I think it's time to let him come up on stage, don't you? This guy right there. Now this guy, he follows us around wherever we go. So we're gonna bring him on stage, a Pumpkin lover.
improv
Iha: Alright, cut that shit out.
Wretzky: The people wanna dance.
Iha: They're supposed to dance, they don't want comedy, they want somebody to do something crazy.
Corgan: Here's your moment to address your peers.
fan: Hello Sydney! Three cheers for Billy Corgan! I love you.
Corgan: Thank you, now stop following us around ok? You're starting to scare us. I have to say that he has proven himself to be our number one Australian fan, so...
Wretzky: Or just a plain stalker.
Corgan: We can't determine if he loves the band or he's just absolutely psychotic. Just remember that fan is short for fanatic. A little psychology for you there. Now we'd like to play another song for you.
Iha: This is a psychotic song.
Corgan: From our exstensive catalog of misery. This is another misanthropic hit. It's called...
Iha: Pain. You love it.
Corgan: But first, you're gonna turn off that menacing yellow light, thank you. And you're gonna turn off that menacing yellow light. Thank you.
X.Y.U.
[encore break]
Corgan: Guys, thank you very much. As we said last night, we're sorry we had to reschedule the concerts, and we appreciate the fact that you waited and still wanted to come. And we tried to come back as soon as we possibly could, so we thank you for your patience and support and love, and uh, thanks so much.

Farewell and Goodnight

Wretzky: Thank you, goodnight.
Corgan: Thank you.
Iha: You've been great, thank you very much. Thank you, Jon Melvoin. Thank you Jonathon. A round of applause for mister Jonathon Melvoin, piano afficionado, wizard of the keyboard, saint...
Corgan: Thanks for being so great, goodnight, bye bye, god bless you, good night. We love you, don't let the bed bugs bite. Goodnight, bye bye, see ya later. Whosever this is, it's really bad, I would advise you never to wear it again. But who am I to talk, I wear a zero shirt.
