Tonight, Tonight
> Zero
Fuck You
Here Is No Why
BC: Hello, hi. Thanks for coming to the rock concert. Okay, so who was here last night? Okay, well, last night sounded really bad on stage, we were jetlagged. The show was - 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 [unintelligible word]. 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.
BC: Thank you. Like to say hi to those people that are way over there. No, not you, those people that are way over there. You, behind them.
Iha: [unintelligible]
BC: And youse peoples over there. I don't know how you ended up over there but hello anyway.
Thru the Eyes of Ruby
> By Starlight
BC: I'd like to thank the hero that made this imitation of me. Do you come complete with a hat? Oh, Jasmine, thank you Jasmine. Jasmine lives at 2 Kitchener Street in West Brunswick in case you wanna visit her.
D’arcy: Except that it comes complete with no pants...and a tattoo from Jasmine on his leg.
BC: I - I actually wasn't gonna wear any pants but um.... (crowd goes crazy)
Iha: (screaming) Oh my god! What did you say?
BC: I believe the prime minister would have a problem with that but anyway....

1979
“Popcorn in all sizes” tape
Beds Are Burning (tease)
BC: How can we laugh when our beds are burning?
Iha: How?
BC: How can we sleep while the earth keeps turning?
Iha: We ask you this.
BC: Can you put on the lights for a second, Aaron?
Iha: How is everybody, okay? Gravy?
BC: How’s it goin’ back there? Yeah, see, look at all those people in their nice seats, check ‘em out. They’re sittin’ down, havin’ a couple brews, you know...
Iha: With some popcorn.
BC: ...takin’ it easy. Just wanna say hi to you over there, that's all. No hostility, you know, just hi. 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, you know, and he.... Yeah, that guy, heh heh. That guy. Ah, that guy, we know that guy.
Iha: Who’s that?
BC: I think we should - I think it's time to let him come up on stage, don't you?
Iha: [unintelligible word or two]
Country Death Song (tease)
(BC: This guy right there. Now this guy, he follows us around wherever we go. So we're gonna bring him on stage, give him a little Pumpkin welcome.)
Iha: Alright, cut that shit out, that’s, heh....
D’arcy: They’re supposed to dance.
BC: Okay.
Iha: They're supposed to dance, they want - they don't want comedy, they want Sy to do something crazy.
BC: Here's your moment to address your peers.
Guy from crowd: Hello Sydney! Three cheers for Billy Corgan! Hip hip! Hip hip! Hip hip! We love you!
BC: Thank you. Now stop following us around, okay? You're starting to scare us. I have to say that he has proven himself to be our number one Australian fan so um....
D’arcy: Or a - or just a plain stalker.
BC: We can't determine whether he’s...loves the band or absolutely psychotic. Just remember that fan is short for fanatic.
Iha: Whoa, heh heh heh.
BC: Little psychology for you there. Now we'd like to play another song for you.
Iha: This is a psychotic song.
BC: From our extensive catalog of misery. This is another misanthropic hit.
Iha: It’s called pain, you love it.
X.Y.U. (abandoned after first two chords)
BC: 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]
BC: 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.

BC: Well, thank you for being so great.
Iha: Goodnight, bye bye.
BC: God bless you, goodnight. Don’t throw shit at me. We love you. Don't let the bedbugs bite.

BC: (rough voice) Goodniiiiight.
Iha: Bye bye.
BC: See ya later! ... Whosever this is, it's really bad, I would advise you not to wear it ever again. But who am I to talk, I wear a Zero shirt.
