Under the Milky Way (Billy/Iha acoustic)
BC: Thank you very much, thank you.
Iha: Thank you.
BC: Lots of love to the Church. And Midnight Oil and INXS. Who else we got, James, AC/DC, Rose Tattoo.
Iha: The Hoodoo Gurus, Flume.
BC: Yeah. Amyl and the Sniffers.
Iha: Amyl and the Sniffers, how great are they? Thank you so much to Amyl and the Sniffers and Jane’s Addiction. And Battlesnake!
BC: Okay, I like Battlesnake.
Iha: Yes?
BC: I like them...
Iha: A bunch of--
BC: ...but I’m -– I’m a little frightened by the trip.
Iha: Ah, okay, well, it’s, it’s meant –- meant to frighten you.
BC: Is it like an anti-Christian thing or what?
Iha: How is Adelaide, okay? I mean, I dunno, it seems pretty good. I had a, I had a chicken schnitzel today.
BC: No, the gentleman is asking, that gentleman is--
Iha: What?
BC: As only Aussies can be so kind, you know?
Iha: Right.
BC: No rudeness involved, um...
Iha: Yeah.
BC: ...(laughing) he’s asking, heh heh, heh heh, he’s asking how the arcade was, I went to the arcade today.
Iha: Ohhhh, yeah.
BC: Now, in America--
Iha: What’d you play, Tetris or Asteroids?
BC: No, hold on, hold on, you don’t understand. It isn’t like what at home we call arcades where you go play video games...
Iha: Pac-Man?
BC: ...arcades here are fancy shopping malls.
Iha: Ohhh, shit.
BC: That’s where you get your lingerie...
Iha: Heh heh heh, what?
BC: ...chocolates, your flowers.
Iha: Okay, so it’s like a, a romantic place to go.
BC: Your uh, phone cases, your batteries. Um, heh heh.
Iha: Alright. This is where we’re at, talking about phone cases during a fucking rock concert, what else do you goddamn people want?!
BC: You know what they want.
Iha: I do not know what they want. All I know is that seventy percent of the world’s most dangerous animals reside in Australia, that’s what I’ve been told.
BC: And you know how you kill those dangerous things?
Iha: Uh, stomping on them or running away.
BC: Chicken salt.
Iha: Heh heh heh heh, okay. I like the chicken salt, I gotta admit.
BC: Is everybody having a good time? Thank you so much for supporting this beautiful evening, we’re very happy to be here. We may look undead but we do have appreciation in our...decaying bones. This is my favorite part of the show because I get to thank everyone personally and say thank you for 35 years of the Smashing Pumpkins. And to quote...to quote Jerry...
Iha: Jerry, who’s...?
BC: Jerry Garcia.
Iha: Oh!
BC: What a long strange trip it’s been.
Iha: Yes.
BC: Did you think 35 years from when we started the band...?
Iha: I did not think that far ahead.
BC: ...that I would look like this?
Iha: I didn’t, I did not think that far ahead.
BC: I knew you’d look like this.
Iha: Heh heh heh heh. What, a cowboy outfit?
BC: Handsome! Handsome and cowboyish.
Iha: Heh heh heh heh! Thank you, thank you, I appreciate it.
BC: And most people don’t know this, he’s like 20 years older than me, so he’s like 75, look how good he looks.
Iha: Alright, don’t worry, we’re gonna get to another song. Heh. We got, well, there’s a whole setlist.
BC: Should I make up a story or should I just keep playing?
Iha: I think we should go to this song at this point, I feel a restlessness.
BC: Well...there I was on the beach in Australia. And I wrote this song under the stars.
Iha: Oh yeah.
BC: And I like to dedicate this song to all of you. It’s a little song we call Tonight, Tonight.
