Tonight, Tonight
Cherub Rock
Where Boys Fear to Tread
Corgan: Thank you very much. We're the Smashing Pumpkins, thank you very much for coming to the concert, appreciate it very much. We're sorry, we do not speak French. This is an oldie, this is called Rhinoceros.
Rhinoceros
Zero
Fuck You
Porcelina of the Vast Oceans / Rocket (tease)
Corgan: Thank you very much, thank you very much. This is our new single, it's called Thirty-three.
Thirty-three
Corgan: Thanks a lot. This uh, next song, I wrote when I was twelve years old. It's kinda sad considering it's a really good song and I have written much better since I was twelve, but nonetheless it's a very nice song, I hope you like it.
1979
Bullet with Butterfly Wings
Iha: Woo! Thank you very much, glad to be back, Canada, Vancouver. We're glad you're back with us, we're rockin' now, and we're gonna play another rock anthem for you Vancouver people, let's rock.
Corgan: We'll sing this song for you up there, we know we look like little ants, but we're actually really tall.
Muzzle
Disarm
Thru the Eyes of Ruby
[encore break]
Iha: So today in lovely Vancouver, we went to visit the set of the X-Files, and uh, we go way back with them, Chris, Dave, Jill, and in fact in some strange way all of our uh...my father knew Chris Carter when he used to live in San Diego, they were fishermen on a wharf. Billy's dad knew Dave's dad and they were chess players, they've known each other for years. D'arcy in fact, her sister knew Gillian's sister and they go way back, so it was just this crazy thing, we had a laugh, we played some cards, and we were a monster on one of the X-Files show today, so we'd like to dedicate this next song to the fine cast and crew of that company. And this next song is called XYU.
X.Y.U.
[encore break]
Corgan: Hey just for a second, this guy over here, he's got a sign, I play drums, show everybody, show everyone that you have this sign. Let's just assume that your name is Jeff, I don't know your name, but for now your name is Jeff. Jeff, we already have a drummer, his name is Matt.
Iha: Ladies and gentlemen, Matt "Cosmo" Walker! Let's all say hi, Matt.
Corgan: Matt, please lead us into the heavens.
By Starlight
Corgan: Thanks a lot.
Siva
[encore break]
Corgan: Thank you very much for giving us energy. We don't uh, for those of you in the know, we don't talk much after this point, so we'll say thank you now, have a nice year, happy new year. We wish you the best of luck and happiness, and we hope to see you again in 1998.
