The show was fanfarkingtastic. From b-sides to smash-hits they played them all. Billy was extremely light hearted on stage, making some great and some not-so-great jokes, applauding the fact that we have "The guy from Midnight Oil running shit", and stated that the Young brothers (from AC/DC) should head over to the US and run their shit.
The contrast between songs was amazing. Jumping straight from "Blue Heaven" to "The Everlasting Gaze" amazing. Then the cover/remix of Britney Spears' "Piece of Me" along with some Justin Timberlake song, straight to AC/DC's "Let There be Rock" was quite entertaining and kinda states just how talented the band actually are.
The show was easily a five star show. I saw the Rolling Stones a couple of years ago at Homebush, and I'd put the Smashing Pumpkins on the same level of entertainment and ability to do a great show!
