Jimmy: Good evening Louisville! We had a good time at Churchill Downs today, really made out good.
Iha: What happened?
Jimmy: 50,000.
Iha: This man has the uh, golden touch, if uh, any of you tomorrow want to go to Churchill Downs with Jimmy, he'd be more than glad to bet more money, on anything you want. And of course, on the drums, our new drummer, Matt Cosmo Walker!
Corgan: Now is the uh...this has become part of a tradition, of our show. Some of you are pointing to yourselves, I see you've heard of this tradition. This is where we invite 2, 3, sometimes 4 people on stage to dance.
Iha: Now, now you gotta be funky though.
Corgan: Normally I don't choose, but this girl down here's gotta come up, you right there. Alright.
Iha: Now, who's next?
Corgan: Jimmy shall choose the rest of thee.
Iha: So lets go see where Jimmy Frog is.
Corgan: Who shall be the lucky boys and girls, who shall dance?
Iha: Alright, one more time, Matt, gimme gimme that rave, jungle-ass beat. Aw yeah, lets put up those hands one more time, we're feeling sexy, we're feeling sexy, we wanna dance with the Smashin' Pumpkins, know what I'm sayin'? Word, put up those hands, aw yeah, Jimmy, pick those dancers! Jump for joy people, the green man is comin' through to pick you! He will save your soul?

Corgan: That guy right there.
Iha: That guy?!
Corgan: This guy.
Iha: He looks uh...
Corgan: This guy.
Iha: Oh my--wait a, wait a minute. Come on up brother, come on up, you're outta control. Keep an eye on this motherfucker. Alright, I'm sorry about the cursing, I swear too much, I will call my mother afterwards and tell her "mom, I swore too much at the concert". Ok, subsequently--oh my god, you're outta control already.
Iha: Ok, so we have our uh, fine dancers on stage.
Corgan: Oh hello, ok this is uh, the time now where we get to know your dancers, tell us who you are and where you're from.
Fan #1: I'm Donna Snider from Cincinnati Ohio.
Iha: Cincinnati?
Corgan: Let me tell ya, I've been to Ohio, ain't a lot going along.
Iha: O-hi-who?
Corgan: But aren't we in the Kentucy-ana area? Who are you and where are you from?
Fan #2: I'm Ariel and I'm from Covington, Cincinnati.
Corgan: Cincinnati? Another Ohioan?
Iha: We got some wringers here.
Corgan: Something's wrong with our selection process, I believe. Who are you and where are you from?
Fan #3: (unintellgible) from Louisville Kentucky.
Iha: Louisville, Louisville, Louisville, Louisville.
Corgan: This man right here...he's southern and he's proud, who are you and where are you from?
Fan #4: Alex (unintelligible) from Louisville Kentucky!
(fan moons the crowd at this point)
Iha: Oh my god, OH MY GOD!
Corgan: I believe, I believe up north that's what we call a good old boy.
Iha: Axin' and relaxin'
Corgan: Ok, you're up here to dance.
Iha: Two rules.
Corgan: We have two rules.
Iha: Two.
Corgan: Don't touch us, and don't touch our shit. Alright. 'Course you all symbolically will dance along.
Iha: We invite you to dance with us onstage in your mind, that's right, a college philosophy, you can do this.
1979
Iha: We-we of Smashing Pumpkins have no liability in this. That was uh, quite a show you put on there. I was, I was shocked myself, um. I could only hope that the show can go on from this point and uh, we could be a little uh, frivolous, taking upon this damage that we have wrought. Let's have a nice round of applause for our outta control dancers.
Fan: Don't you think Billy should run for president? He's in the middle, he can play.
Billy: I think you should run for cover.
Iha: Getting back to the rock show, we'll uh, we'll just forget this incident, just wipe it clean from the slate, we'll just consider on rocking for you people, you fine people of Louisville. Now we're shocked, I don't know what to say about that.
Corgan: Thank you very much for a nice show, had a good time. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Iha: (unintelligible) thank you.
Muzzle
(encore break)
Silverfuck

and I hear your winter
and I hear your rain
and I failed your summer ways
and I feel no pain
I feel no pain

and I hear you fade away
and I hear you crawl
and I gave my life away
and I feel no pain

I feel no pain
I feel no pain
I feel no pain

She was my lover
She was my angel
What I recover
I Put into a box underneath my bed
I Put into a box underneath my bed

I screamed Baby Why?
Baby Why?
Baby Why?
Ex Why You?
and I said Baby Why must you make me cry?
Baby why must you make me cry?
Why must the little girls make the boys cry?
Must be something in the water
Baby My Baby?
Where are you now?
Baby My Baby?
Lost in the clouds

With Barbed Wired lips she breathed her last sigh
Forget it and never lie

fucking whore
fucking whore
fucking whore
fucking whore
fucking whore
fucking whore
She was a fucking whore
yeah

go

no

(jam)

so
we bear (unintelligible) a responsibility
over time and temple and our taste
so let it be known
that we haven't got a second to waste
graceful
good night
gesture just right

I think back to um
when I was 19 years old
and I was trying to escape from where I'm from which is that's Chicago
trying to drive to Florida
driving all night
high on Pepsi and NoDoz
awaken from a dream
to Louisville lights and
tape towers and
rolling southern hills and
baptist bullshit
and the warm southern air
fresh and new and
full of blood and demons
debutantes
and White Castles
and I rember thinking
if I only had time to stop in this place
and the great irony in which I find myself now
still alive
less naive
but eyes wide open

So you may ask yourself where this all particularly leads
and the fact of the matter is
is that it leads to particularly no where
We don't know where your going
and we don't know where we're going
and we're going
Hey whatever happened to Denny Crum

So thank you very much
hope you had a good time
you've been wonderful great
pacient understanding
thank you very much
from the bottom of our hearts
take time to wave to the people who are in a hurry to get home
they have really important things to do
so say goodbye to them
as they leave
they just can't wait to get home to their TVs and their sofas

Corgan: Thanks everybody.
