TFT Notes: Two High-Definition video screens are in place above the sides of the stage near the speaker stacks throughout the Australian tour. During the breakdown of "Go", Ed pulls off his jacket and tosses it vigorously behind him, sailing it over and behind Matt's drum kit. Regarding this second night in Melbourne, Ed says "For those of us who didn't sleep last night, it's just a continuation" and that the evening is "just encore number three". The loud and unified crowd singing during "Elderly Woman...", particularly a thundering "Hello!", Mike turns and mouths "Wow" to his tech Donnie sidestage. After "Even Flow", Ed gave props to Matt's solo, saying "He's never played the same thing once" further mentioning that Soundgarden were one of the world's greatest bands, and "Matt's helped us be so much better, thank you." "Not For You" features a slightly extended section before "all that's sacred..." During "Better Man", solid white circles and triangles of light search the crowd. After introducing "Glorified G" as a "very American" song, Ed fashions his index finger, middle finger and thumb into a gun, pointing it at different sections of the crowd with each "Always keep it loaded". For the final line, he rested the "hand" gun at his temple. During "Porch", Ed uses his guitar's scratchplate reflected from an overhead light beam to act as a mirror, shining it on members of the audience. Prior to the "hey...hey...hey" at the end, Ed leads the crowd in a call and response of "ohs". "On behalf of us and the Kings of Leon" Ed dubs Melbourne Night 2 the "best crowd in Australia". Ed introduces "Thumbing My Way" as a song about "what's around the corner, you just don't know it." The crowd sings "Last Kiss" heartily, starting the "oh oh ooooohhhhh" at the end without prompting, leading him to say "Big finish, you got it!" "Wash" and "Come Back" are on the setlist but not played.
